Same issue with me.
When I connect with root SSH, and do a "top" command, I see that Transmission is using a lot of CPU.
My feeling is that, there is a resource issue with Raidiator 4.1.8, creating an higher CPU usage and hence, less resource for other processes.
If for one reason or another the CPU is heavy loaded, Transmission crashes and can even crash the whole Readynas.
But not only, a BIG TimeMachine backup (500 Gigs) creates the same effect: crash of the Readynas which then needs a cold reboot.
For Transmission, I'll try to limit the download speed so that the CPU usage is "acceptable", until a firmware solution comes up and revert to 4.1.7.
