I was excited to hear that a Mac version of uTorrent was in the works, but now that Transmission can do selective file downloading, it really doesn't matter much. Transmission is, in my opinion, the best bittorrent client for any platform, with its clean, unbloated interface.

it is a very sleek client, however it doesn't support encrypted transfers, which mean that seeding at very important trackers such as oink is no possible. very nice client, but it does lack important functionalities. easier and more pleasant than azureus, utorrent is still however the best by far (damn it!)

I love you

I love the versatility of this Torrent utility. And all of the information accessible.

buggy! has crashed already three times.

The new version has eliminated any need for any other torrent clients on my mac.

Beautiful app! Clean and speedy! Just the way that mac'ers love! It has few features but I think it's designed for quick downloads from open torrents! I use this!

I just upload the new 0.81 version of the software, and there's no problem any more.
Furthermore, my speed is better than with the earlier.
Nice !

It's pretty much replaced Azureus for me now. I really liked Azureus 2.x, but the newer versions aren't much to my liking. 0.82 is really good stuff.

I was definitely skeptical about making the change from Azureus--with its feature-galore repertoires. However, implementing PeerGuardian with Transmission..its safe to say I will be removing Azureus from my machine ;)

Only gripes I have is I wish there would be a Filter for showing "Currently Active" Transfers..and not just ones that are "Seeded". Also, a prompt of what files to select from a torrent a la Azureus would be nice, instead of adding it, then using the Inspector to uncheck what you don't want.

Hi every one!
I am new to the whole Mac world. I was looking for a good downloading software and I found Transmission. But there is a problem. I don't know how to use it. How to search for files and download. Please some one helps me and explain how should I start to use it.
Thanks.

Lol... this is a torrent client. its similar to limewire, but you need to go get trackers from websites. Try thepiratebay.org ;)

very impressed with how this app has evolved, new options without sacrificing speed.

My apologies if this has already been posted, but I really recommend the Second Gear mod posted on MacThemes: http://macthemes2.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16782299&p=1

Just a note, though - the cool HUD-style info window is sadly available on 10.5 only.

The reason I am not installing this on my mac is transmission does not obey the rules of many torrent sites. It seems to haev some tracker issues due to which sites like ipodtvnova explicitly discourage it's use.

Transmission is currently rather buggy due to a major rewrite, and as a result, 0.9x versions have been banned on some trackers. It is probably best to stick with 0.82 for a while, perhaps until the 1.0 release.

totally agree, 0.82 was the only one working for me, the 0.9x were excessively buggy.

transmission is useless for me as long as it does not provide a credible plugin on the lines of safepeer/peergaurdian.

peer gaurdian on leopard is problematic.

Azureus is the best option on a mac running leopard even though it causes crashes.

The new 1.00 betas work great! :)

1.0 truly is fantastic. Transmission has become the uTorrent of the mac. Perfectly simple, and works flawlessly.
