Transmission
Transmission
is
designed to be a fast, easy, and free multi-platform BitTorrent client.
Transmission uses a smaller amount of system resources than
many other
BitTorrent clients (such as Vuze).
The project aims to strike a balance between providing useful
functionality without feature bloat. For this reason, Transmission is
less fully featured than other clients.
The developers are also developing a useful web user interface
for Transmission,
called Clutch. With Clutch you can easily monitor and control your
torrents remotely.
Transmission is now the the official default BitTorrent client for the
popular Ubuntu
distribution.
