Description:
When attempting to download the attached torrent (which includes web seeds), transmission-gtk exits after a few seconds, accompanied by these messages in the system logs:

kernel: transmission-gt[3499]: segfault at 1e4 ip 00007f240a7f15ed sp 00007f23fd654ac0 error 4 in libcurl.so.4.3.0[7f240a7dd000+63000]
systemd-coredump[4357]: Coredump too large, ignoring
systemd-coredump[4357]: Process 3494 (transmission-gt) dumped core.

Attempting to restart the process produced the same results, up to differences in the PIDs and the address at which libcurl.so.4.3.0 was loaded.


Additional info:
* package versions:
- transmission-gtk 2.82-1
- curl 7.34.0-2
* architecture: x86_64


Steps to reproduce:
Attempt to download the attached torrent using transmission-gtk.
   archlinux-2014.01.05-dual.iso... (29.9 KiB)
   settings.json (3.6 KiB)

I may have uploaded the wrong settings.json. Download and upload speed limits were enabled when I attempted the download using transmission-gtk, but I disabled them before uploading settings.json. Here is the corrected configuration file.
   settings.json (3.6 KiB)

I'm recieving the same issue with the same torrent, same transmission version, and same curl version.

We've had a few curl updates and a transmission update since this report, is this still an issue?

The old versions of transmission and curl that I was complaining about had consistently crashed within half a minute on all of the >16 test runs I tried. The newest versions successfully downloaded archlinux-2014.06.01-dual.iso on 1 out of 1 test runs. I realize a single test run is far from rigorous, but since a single success is more than I had ever gotten previously, it looks like something has at least improved.

We're going to go ahead and call this one fixed, then. Reopen if it becomes a problem again.
