I caught transmission-daemon using 12Gb (!) of RAM on my AMD64 system recently, and for what it's worth, the Transmission 4.0.2 packages from UbuntuHandbook PPA fix this issue. I'd noticed 3.0.0 using insane amounts of RAM many times before (workaround was to restart the daemon), but seeing it use 12Gb really made me look for a newer version. Version 4.0.2 uses <200mb with the same torrents.

It "eats" RAM and the RAM usage grows each hour until it crashes the system. I sideloaded transmission-daemon and its dependancies from debian 11 (arm64) locked the packages so apt won't update them and, ever since, this issue hasn't happened.
