This is an answer to Charles:

ad. 3

> If by this you mean torrents continue to seed after the seed ratio has
been reached, this is confirmed to happen sometimes. The upstream ticket
is http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/1869.

in many cases yes

ad. 4

> If so, then "Ask for more peers" is working exactly as designed

by one torrent I had a list of trackers and the "ask for more peers"
function was disabled and grayed out

ad. 5

> There are many factors at work here, and priorities are only one of
them. If a particular peer doesn't have the pieces we need for a file,
we won't request them from that peer. Or, if we do request them from a
peer that's responding slowly, pieces from a different file may come in
faster. We can control which pieces we ask for, but we can't control
which order we get them in.

it's strange that you think so... Some other torrent clients (mostly
windows ones) have the same possibility and after the priority got
changed, the files with higher priority were downloaded in the first
order (tested on the same file on other torrent client's)

ad. 6

> I'm not able to reproduce this issue. Could you please try this in
Transmission 1.92 and see if the problem persists?

in this case please update the Ubuntu repository to have the newer
version on. The Ubuntu repositories are mostly outdated

ad. 7

> If you want to say there is no influence at all then I'll need to see
more information.

I have changed allowed speed to limit brandwitch usage for upload then
some time the limit was exceeded and the upload was going faster

ad. 8

> Setting torrent priority influences which peers get a first shot at
the bandwidth that Transmission has allocated for that timeslice. If the
peers on a high-priority torrent are unable to make use of that extra
bandwidth, then the normal- and then low- priority torrents are given an
opportunity to use it. We can control which peers we try first, but we
can't control how much they're willing to send us.

Not exactly true. I have 2 torrents and I had set 2 priorities: one was
as hight and second as normal. The normal one was treaten by client like
with higher priority then the hight one

ad. 9

> Same as my response for #7, though I'll add some users have gotten
confused by accidentally turning off the "Honor Global Limits" checkbox
in Torrent > Properties > Options s.t. a torrent will download faster
than the user wanted it to.

I think that the "Honor global limits" is redundant in the client and
makes only users confused and frustrated about beeing unable to set
individual transfer speed's

ad. 10

> Setting the peer limit definitely does influence the maximum number of
peers that you're allowed to have. Could you please try this in
Transmission 1.92 and see if the problem persists?

The answer is the same as in point 6

** Changed in: transmission (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Confirmed
