Transmission add-on crashing on ReadyNas Duo

I did have PEX enabled. Nothing else. I've disabled PEX and Removed all torrents. Then I opened two small torrents. They verified okay and everything looked fine. Then I created a third 1.5GB torrent and attempted to open it. The dreaded Connection Failed message appeared almost immediately.

UPDATE: The problem does indeed appear to be with one particular offending torrent, or at least that's where I'm at now in my troubleshooting.

I create my torrents with Transmission for Mac. The weird thing is I can create it and even open it in Transmission-Mac, and it verifies fine. However, after I reinstalled Transmission 2.22 on my Duo I noticed that it wouldn't verify to any more than 93.7%. What I've narrowed it down to are the file names contained within the torrent. Some of them are accented characters. The Duo handles that just fine. In fact, I'd originally used Transmission on the Duo to download the same files from another torrent site. I wanted to reshare them to a different (private) torrent site, so I took the same exact unmodified files and created a new torrent to upload to the new site. That's where the problems began. Apparently Transmission-Duo has no trouble downloading torrents where the included files have accented characters. But trying to create a new torrent with the same files and have Transmission-Duo verify them will choke the verification process on the accented character names.

What I don't understand is why 2.22 at least functions and shows that the file won't fully verify apparently due to the file names (changing the file names to un-accented characters resolves that problem). However, 2.42 chokes and dies within seconds of opening the torrent file and commencing the verify process.
