On 32 bit POSIX, you're opening files without O_LARGEFILE - this means things like the knoppix live-DVD cannot be downloaded.
And, I'm willing to hazard a guess that there's probably some inconsistancy with int vs size_t in the file code as well.
Secondly, transmission-daemon can't seem to seed a file. If I create a torrent, place the file in the download directory, then -remote -a filename.torrent, it starts at 0% and tries to download it. Rather useless, I'd say.
I've added O_LARGEFILE to the fdlimit.c open() statement, and it can successfully open DVD images now, but it still craps out.
edit: Looks like it can't handle checking a large file, so it fails. Smaller files seem to work. (README in the same torrent) So it's all down to large file support.

We now use O_LARGEFILE for opening files, and one user on an older 32-bit machine has confirmed that it works for large iso files. He reported no problems with checking, so I'm not sure if there is still an issue there or not. Please re-open the ticket if you're still seeing a problem in svn trunk.
