DESCRIPTION
Transmission is a fast, easy, and free multi-platform BitTorrent client.
Transmission sets initial preferences so things "Just Work", while advanced features like watch directories, bad peer blocking, and the web interface can be configured with just a few clicks. Macworld put it this way: "It's fast, it's extremely lightweight, and — even though it's available for a variety of platforms — it behaves just as you'd expect a Mac program to."
Transmission supports full encryption, file selection, a web-based interface, groups, peer exchange, automatic port forwarding, webseeds, watch directories, tracker editing, global and per-torrent speed limits, and more.
Its code is freely available online and is licensed under either the GNU Public License v2 or the MIT License. The development team welcomes anyone who is interested in contributing code, documentation, translations, or other help.

Version 1.72:
- Fix problem where a small set of users could not add torrents
- Fix 1.70 crash with assertion "tv->tv_usec >= 0"
- Fix 1.70 crash with assertion "tr_peerIoSupportsFEXT( msgs->peer->io )"
- Better DHT announce management

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

BRUCEANDERSON Awesome update! I had two older torrents which weren't moving at all, and since updating to 1.72 they're downloading just fine. Thank you!

CHARLES_BT This sounds a lot like which is fixed in the nightly builds and will be fixed in 1.72.

SPRINGHEELMAC Transmission has been PERFECT the last several releases; however, 1.71 has displayed a decrease in upload speed I haven't seen since the pre 1.30's versions. Instead of the usual rock solid upload speed, I now see a constant decrease. Since I like to upload more than I download, I'm reverting to 1.70. Please fix as soon as possible; otherwise I see another KNOPP inspired Inquisition where every dissenter is deemed to be seeing things and incapable of operating their Macs intelligently without his EXPERT tutelage. Keep in mind Transmission has been THE torrent app; kudos to the developers and keep up the good work!

ROBBY.IS.ON "Please fix this"? Whom are you telling that? You should visit Transmission's forums and ask for support there.

ANONYMOUS Knopp isn't doing what you are excusing him of. Stop being silly.

ANONYMOUS *sigh* Why Macupdate keeps threads that attack people is beyond me.

ROBBY.IS.ON "Perfect" would be five stars, right? :P

JEFF H. I've been using Transmission for a couple years now and it does well. The only problem that I have is that on an older Mini (late 2005), it will not quit at times. Even force-quits. I'm sometimes forced to hard-restart the machine. This doesn't happen on my G5 that tells me that its a machine-specific issue. Thanks for the great app BTW!

ROBOTANK Sometimes Transmission takes a long time to quit for me. After hitting command-Q, I'll have to wait maybe 10-20 seconds before the program fully quits. Have you tried just waiting for a minute and not trying to do anything?

JEFF H. Thanks for the response. Yea, we're talking several minutes. But, went from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1 and it seems ok...we'll see. | |

GUILLAUMEK Try trashing all Transmission related files an folders in /Library/Application Support and /Library/Preferences. Otherwise, use uTorrent, it's "mostly" similar in terms of features and performance.

CHAOZ1 Thanks for the advise !! I downloaded the 1.71 version and again the same problem it quits all of a sudden ! I downloaded the older version 1.54 and it works fine for me .... If this continuous I will not upgrade to the newer version ... Im on a mac book 0s x 10.5.7 i have enough power to support this application but its still not working for me . HELP !! | |

THEBLUENOWHERE There are lots of polarised comments on the torrent clients on Macupdate. I don't really care for them much. Try the applications that look most promising for your needs and then keep the best. Transmission works for me, very mac-like clean interface with some nifty features. :) They've just added DHT too. Though I don't think you can create trackerless torrents yet.
