Comment 9 for bug 318249

This problem (bad checksum after downloading a newer version of the same file with a different checksum) did not happen upgrading a Karmic Alpha 2 file over the Alpha 1 version (Jaunty and Transmission 1.51). I'll assume it still exists in 8.10 but have moved on. The checksum of the overwritten file was fine after the download finished. Thanks for the fix!

I did experience a problem where, after adding the streams and deleting the old entries in the Transmission GUI (indicated appropriately in red with a warning message), I never connected to any peers. I tried exiting and restarting Transmission from gnome with no luck and found I had to kill the process (no UI) before restarting, at which time everything worked as expected. I'll try this scenario again for my Alpha 3 downloads and file a separate bug if it repros (unless you can confirm this as a problem not).
