It seems to be a common issue:

How do I install it?

Maintainer inactive? The build should be pushed to testing repository by the maintainer or some packager…

(Last one pushed to stable was 3.00-3, see https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?search=transmission&release=F33)

For now, you can download the rpms (!) directly from koji, and use dnf to install it.

For an assisted download of all rpms involved and install , use:

koji download-build --arch=x86_64 transmission-3.00-5.fc33
dnf update transmission

I’m using this one-liiner to download packages to temporary directory and install them. No need to clean up afterwards and no risk of installing some other local packages.

cd $(mktemp -d) && koji download-build --arch=x86_64 --arch=noarch transmission-3.00-5.fc33 && dnf upgrade *

qbittorrent is a good alternative.

I have already test it from

$ koji download-build --arch=x86_64 transmission-3.00-5.fc33

Everything is good.

$ rpm -qa transmission*
transmission-common-3.00-5.fc33.x86_64
transmission-qt-3.00-5.fc33.x86_64
$

It is still a good idea to provide feedback on bodhi so the maintainer knows it is a good idea to push the build to stable
