I did some more testing as Nvidia's people could not reproduce problem.
I found that updates subsequent to update with invalid blocklist url (tested with http://www.example.com/blocklist and http://google.com) cause freeze.
I quess it's possible that real blocklist might cause same problem if they are down.
I also found that I'm able to reproduce this with Nouveau too so this probably isn't problem with Nvidia driver.

Here are tests I tried, I was able to reproduce both multiple times on both, nvidia and nouveau.
Clean transmission profile.
1. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> ok
2. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> ok
3. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> no freeze but stays on "Getting new blocklist"

Clean profile
1. Add 1 torrent (used http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent)
2. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> ok
3. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> ok
4. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> freeze
5. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> freeze
6. rm -r blocklists/ blocklist.txt.tmp
7. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> ok
8. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> ok
9. http://iblocklist.ottecomputers.com/files/bt_level1.gz and update -> ok
10. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> ok
11. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> freeze
12. rm -r blocklists/ blocklist.txt.tmp
13. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> ok
14. http://www.example.com/blocklist and update -> freeze
After each freeze I killed and relaunched transmission.
