Looking forward to it being whitelisted on trackers!

I've had to hold off upgrading my 4.0.5 installation to 4.0.6 because it was banned on some trackers [1][2].

    Transmission version 4.0.6 is widely banned by private and public BitTorrent trackers due to a critical bug in its announce logic, which causes it to overwhelm trackers with excessive requests (a "hammering" or DDoS-like effect). This issue arises particularly when IPv6 is disabled or unavailable, causing the client to loop rapidly.
