Popular lightweight BitTorrent client for Mac and Linux users gets updated.
Transmission is advertised as having been built from the ground up to be a lightweight, yet powerful BitTorrent client. Its simple, intuitive interface is designed to integrate tightly with whatever computing environment you choose to use. Transmission strikes a balance between providing useful functionality without feature bloat. Furthermore, it is free for anyone to use or modify.
I persoanlly use uTorrent, but would definitely use this client server if I was a MAC fanboy or finally decided to take the Linux plunge. For those that fit the following description Transmission is definitelyt a BitTorrent client worth checking out if you haven’t already.
