Transmission won't connect to https [solved]

I am running Transmission 2.92 (14714) from lsellens.
I installed fine, but all of my trackers that require https will not connect.

I have checked my port forwarding and am connectable.
If I go to a tracker that uses https I get the error : Could not connect to Tracker.
If I manually change the announce to just http I am able to connect right away.

Does anyone know why this would be? Is https connecting disabled and is there a way to enable it?
thanks.

problem seemed to be related to the version of transmission I was running.
I switched from the install by lsellens to the one by milhouse and that corrected my problems. https is now working.
