I had this problem, or at least a similar problem, too. I left Transmission running over the weekend to seed. When I tried quitting it this morning, it said to hold on while it was uploading stats to the tracker. After a couple of hours I noticed it hadn't finished, so I closed the window. After a bit I got the dialog saying it wasn't going quietly; I told it to go ahead and kill the app.
That still didn't do anything, and ps still showed it consuming 100% of the CPU. I repeatedly tried killing it, both normally and -9. The process still appeared to be running, and my load was high (over 5). Looking further I saw that the CPU-eating process had a parent, so I tried to kill -9 both of those. It didn't work, but shortly after that the machine locked up and I had to reboot. I thought it might be just my machine, but Google suggests a number of people report similar symptoms, so it seems like there's some unhappy interaction between Transmission and the kernel. I'm using a reasonably fresh Ubuntu box that is otherwise unproblematic.
