Bug Description

Because of the bug in 1.5x "ratio-limit" in settings.json may have comma instead of full stop (happens when user have set language that use comma as decimal point, for example swedish).
Now, it was fixed in transmission 1.5x in http://trac.transmissionbt.com/changeset/8556 (ticket http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/2122). I think that the right way of fixing it will be backporting both changes from 1.53 (and at least one fix from 1.54) back to 1.51. So it's time to take care of bug 375230.

Heh.. I'm not really sure if it's a bug in 1.5x.. I know that it was possible to trigger it when user downgraded from 1.6x to 1.5x and then upgraded again but I'm not sure if it's possible to make it happen on clean install.. Åskar said he just upgraded from 1.51-0ubuntu3 to 1.71-0ubuntu1 from my PPA and it was enough.. I'll ask transmission's developer about it.

summary: - Malformed "ratio-limit" in settings.json prevents transmission 1.71 from

Actually as there is no entry in settings.json that use tr_bencDictAddDouble I'm marking it as invalid for now..
