Which is weird, because when I looked, they said the same... but 2.92 wasn't available.

The auto-updater threw up an exciting, shocking red warning bumping to 2.91 on Sunday.

Mmm. Having managed to place an infected binary on the site already, I'm going with the trust-least threat model and discounting anything from their site at the moment. Manually checked system for infection. Removed Transmission until further notice.

I disagree. It's like with food poisoning - there was no better place to eat than Jack in the Box after they killed like 4 kids. Granted, they were not particularly good-humored about "medium rare" jokes.
