Transmission add-on crashing on ReadyNas Duo

If I recall correctly, I read on the transmission forums somewhere that the "max-peers-global" and "open-file-limit" haven't been used since version 1.4 or so. As far as I know, they are ignored and will not cause problems. The "upload-limit-*" have been replaced by the "alt-speed-*" and "speed-limit-*" in version 1.5. (see the link given in the topic your link to) It also says that "open-file-limit" is used in version 2.31 and older, so, if 2.31 crashes for you too, that might not be the problem. You can try to reduce the queuing and peer limits to see if this works.

Thanks for the clarification. Here's what the Transmission forum says https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles

2.31 (and older) open-file-limit: Number (default = 32) 1.4x (and older) Peers max-peers-global: Number (default = 240) max-peers-per-torrent: Number (default = 60)

This is all way too confusing for a simple plug-and-play Mac guy like me. Why on earth can't we have a settings.json file installed that's actually compatible with the version of Transmission being installed? Also, why can't it be compatible with the specific ReadyNAS model it's being installed on? Why all this confusion?

What I still don't understand is why do my settings work fine in 2.22, but the same settings fail in 2.31 and 2.42? e.g.
"cache-size-mb": 2,
"peer-limit-global": 240,
"peer-limit-per-torrent": 60,

It amazes me how many people are having the same basic Transmission UI disconnect problem and (from what I've seen) no one has yet to identify the root cause and how to quantitatively troubleshoot and fix it. So far all I've seen is everyone taking this shot in the dark approach of reduce this and that setting. Oh, that didn't work? Well lower them some more. Still didn't work? Well, try reducing something else and see if that works. It shouldn't be so mystical and abstract.
