This isn't really related to your original question, but I've frequently 
encountered problems getting torrent downloads started, and find they 
can hang indefinitely. A workaround that seems to fix this pretty 
consistently is to let transmission start the download, see that nothing 
happens after a minute, and then pause and restart the download. That 
usually gets it going for me.
