Transmission is a lightweight BitTorrent client. It features a simple interface on top of a cross-platform back end. It is free and open source software, mostly licensed under the MIT License. Transmission runs on Mac OS X (Cocoa interface), Linux, BSD, and BeOS/ZETA.
Transmission uses a smaller amount of system resources than many other BitTorrent clients (such as Azureus) in an effort to strike a balance between functionality and feature bloat. For this reason, Transmission is less fully featured than other clients. Keeping the interface simple and intuitive on all platforms is a key design goal.
Daily OS X builds and source tarballs are available online. The project has a forum where users can discuss support issues and make features requests.
Version 0.6.1 of Transmission did not strictly adhere to the complete BitTorrent specification. This resulted in the banning of that version from many private trackers. The issues were resolved in the subsequent 0.70 release.
Computer Buzz has evaluated Transmission (with Mac OS X), and we have found it to be one of the most straightforward and reliable BitTorrent clients of all. We recommend it highly.
