Why does my iTunes hate my Transmission?

Whenever I open my iTunes along with Transmission at the same time, iTunes starts giving me the spinning beachball of death. However, when I close transmission, iTunes starts to function fine again.

I don’t really know why it only does this with transmission, the rest of the apps I’ve tried it with are fine. However, I do have quite a few apps open in the background all the time (Typinator, Dropbox, Anxiety, ScrobblePod, Caffine, and Mainmenu) and wonder if this could be the case.

Or maybe this is just Apple’s way of messing with bit torrent.

Help!
