This is not related to your Transmission install or anything, just a generic questions.
So yesterday i started one torrent download and shortly after my drive became unresponsive, the torrent was only about 600MB, so would not have taken more than 5-10 min to download…
However my drive went into a limbo state and it never recovered even after 12 hours. I had to power cycle it. I think its an OS level issue. I have now lowered the number of peers to 45 per torrent thinking perhaps that created additinal load?
Please see my thread in more detail at:
