Transmission was chosen because it was low dependencies, and integrated
well into GNOME, for the Desktop spin.

If you have specific bugs, I would advise you check the upstream Trac
instance, and report the bugs there directly.

Switching interfaces and programs for this functionality on the basis of
a bug is not a good idea when the problem seems to be a bug, rather than
something fundamentally wrong with the application.
