I occasionally use Transmission to find an oddball file. My kid also uses it to transfer large audio and video files to/from his bandmates. I don't use BitTorrent to steal content. Seriously.
Anyway, something has changed recently. In the past, Little Snitch would ask for permission to allow one connection to a tracker (whatever a tracker is), I'd say yes, and it would be off to the races. Now, Snitch asks for dozens of connections before any transfers can happen.
Anyone know why I suddenly need to allow multiple connections? Did the infrastructure of the BitTorrent system change? Did Transmission change? Did my ISP change something?
