Transmission

[nexionly]

this new client i just discovered is super awesome, its tiny, quick and pretty!

Its called Transmission and its brought to us by the same people who made Handbreak.

Just thought I'd share with you all since I've been looking for a new client for a while.

Looks nice & clean. Trying it now.

So far I like it, thanks for the heads up! :D

All I can say is FINALLY! BitTorrent for Mac OS X with it's slow startup times and crappy interface was really annoying me.

All we need now is a cool icon for it.

This is what it looks like if anyone is wondering:

pls note its still beta guys..

i tried it a few times on some big files, and they it still had some bugs init.

but if he will add some extra features it will be a awesome app

I've get it, and watch it. Unfortunatly I'm at work and I cannot test it. But for what I've seen so far it lacks of settings. I haven't found any single tweak setting, I mean, I'm not asking the complete Azureus set, but at least something would have been helpful.

By the way I'll try to download something later tonight and see how it works....

Thanks for the tip!

I downloaded 4 files with it ranging from 16 MB ~ 2,2 GB haven't had any problems with it (yet). The lack of preferences is a con but hey it's just the 2nd release since 15 Sep 2005.

Looks even better with UNO applied :yes:

I'd like it to remember the window size I set it to from last time I used the app, & a 'Reveal in Finder' button so that when you've completed a d/l you can jusmp straight to it :)

Looks good, will use once it comes with a bit more features.

Radish?

I love Transmission, and I have been able to crash it several times, so it could use some work. But so far, this is the best BT app for OS X.

I've added those 2 things as a request on their forum. They were bugging me too. ;)

Does it have a resume feature? I might have to try this out later.

OMG! I'm testing it now... and it's awesome!

No settings at all, and it goes fast! It connects to seeds and peers in no time.... really awesome.

I'm impressed because I have a line that's always a pain to use with bittorrent (I'm with fastweb, 6mbit but without a public ip address), I always have to tweak azureus to get some decent speed.

Really impressive, 5 stars for me! :D

Tomato Torrent is also a pretty lightweight bittorrent client although most of the time I use Azureus for its UDP tracker protocol support.

Downloaded it, installed it, tried it, trashed it, secure empty trashed it. :whistle:

I wasn't really satisfied with Tomato Torrent. :pinch:

Agreed... Tomato Torrent doesn't have the same "polish" as Transmission does.

[rajputwarrior]

downloaded it, really like it, can't wait for some more features to pop up

[nexionly]

I'm so glad this app is being so well appreciated:)

Based on that screen shot, I don't think I'm even going to use the program. The fonts are way too blurry. How am I even supposed to read what I amm downloading?? :shifty:

I've been using Azureus because I can decide which parts of a torrent get downloaded. Its handy when you only need 5% or 50% of a large file.

For all the people saying Tomato doesn't have as much polish as Transmission, where in Transmission do I go to see how much data I've uploaded, how many seeds and peers there are, define specific ports per torrent, etc?

It's still in early beta stage...

At the bottom of the screen you can see the total amount uploaded.

Anyway I can't stand Tomato Torrent (even the name is bad) so I rather use this.
