Transmission is a cross-platform
BitTorrent client that is:
Open Source.
Transmission is an open source, volunteer-based project. Unlike some
BitTorrent clients, Transmission doesn't play games with its users to
make money:
Easy.
Transmission is designed for easy, powerful use. We've set the defaults to
Just Work
and it only takes a few clicks to configure advanced features like
watch directories, bad peer blocklists, and the web interface. When
Ubuntu chose Transmission as its default BitTorrent client, one of the most-cited reasons was its easy learning curve.
Lean.
In separate benchmarks,
Linux Format and
Lacrocivious both found Transmission to use less CPU than any other GUI client. It even used less CPU than some non-GUI clients.
Transmission also has the lowest memory footprint
of any major BitTorrent client.
Imageshack chose Transmission for its BitTorrent farms because the competition
requires amounts of memory several times greater than Transmission
.
Transmission's small footprint is one reason why many home device manufacturers, such as
FON,
Belkin, and
Networked Media Tank
ship with Transmission. When Belkin and Vuze Inc. partnered to write a
Torrent Genie
to let people who ran Vuze and owned a Belkin router keep sharing files
even when Vuze wasn't running, they decided to use Transmission -- not
Vuze's own BitTorrent client -- on the router.
Native.
