	*'''The torrent that I'm trying to seed reads ''"Unregistered Torrent"''.''' Normally, this problem is because you are trying to seed w/ your original torrent file. The fix for this is usually to upload your raw torrent file to the tracker of your choice, and then download it to your torrent dir. Then open it w/ Transmission and it should proceed as expected.		*'''The torrent that I'm trying to seed reads ''"Unregistered Torrent"''.''' Normally, this problem is because you are trying to seed w/ your original torrent file. The fix for this is usually to upload your raw torrent file to the tracker of your choice, and then download it to your torrent dir. Then open it w/ Transmission and it should proceed as expected.
	*'''My torrent is registered, but seeding doesn't seem to work, because I know someone is trying to download the file and it isn't working on their end.''' This could be a port forwarding problem. The easy but really (stupidly) insecure way is to put your box on a DMZ, but this is way too risky in terms of network security. It is better to make sure you have port forwarding set up for port 51413 (TCP, port start:51413, port end:51413, port map: 51413). See the Port Forwarding section of the Transmission wiki listed above, or the PortForwarding.com reference listed below.		*'''My torrent is registered, but seeding doesn't seem to work, because I know someone is trying to download the file and it isn't working on their end.'''

		+	*'''Transmission keeps on crashing after 10 minutes or so even if no torrent is loaded. I can't connect via RPC or webUI''' This problem for the most part has been fix but still may occur with some NASes (LSPro v1, etc). The solution is to disable libevent's use of epoll: EVENT_NOEPOLL=1; export EVENT_NOEPOLL. The easiest way to fix this would be to add this code at the top of your transmission startup script:
		+	#!/bin/bash
		+	export EVENT_NOEPOLL=1

		+	===Building in Lenny - Transmission 1.82===
		+	Same as the Lenny instructions, but best to call configure with:
		+	<pre>
		+	/configure --disable-gtk --disable-mac --disable-nls
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	This removes the dependency on gettext and intltool which massively reduces the number of packages you need to install and won't attempt to build the GUIs (It'd probably be auto-detected, but better safe than sorry!).
