Transmission is a BitTorrent client which features a variety of user interfaces on top of a cross-platform back-end. Transmission is free software licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, with parts under the MIT License.[6]

There are several transmission clients for different operating systems including Unix-like, macOS and BeOS/ZETA. Each operating system front-end is built using native widget toolkits.[6] For example, transmission-gtk uses the GTK interface, transmission-qt the Qt interface, and transmission-cli a command-line interface. Transmission-remote-cli is an ncurses interface for the transmission-daemon. Python-transmissionrpc is a Python module implementing the JSON-RPC protocol for Transmission.
On Windows, Transmission-Qt can be built with MinGW,[25] the daemon and console tools can be built with Cygwin,[26] also there are two third-party GUIs: transmission-remote-dotnet[27] and Transmission Remote GUI,[28] as well as unofficial full builds of Transmission's Qt Client.,[29][30] There is also an unofficial full build of Transmission daemon which can be run as a Windows service.[31] This same unofficial full build of Transmission daemon running as a Windows service can be used for direct streaming of the downloading file(s).[32]
Elsewhere, newly added seeds can now start immediately and verify pieces on demand, instead of needing a full verify before seeding can begin, and the web client has been rewritten to support mobile use. When creating new torrents, users can also now specify the piece size, and IPv6 blocklists are now supported.
"Transmission on macOS is a truly native and polished experience," reads the client's website. "This isn't some cross-platform app that treats macOS as an afterthought. With a sleek and simple interface, Transmission meets or exceeds Apple UI standards while using native features.
Transmission has one of the lowest memory and resource footprints of any major BitTorrent client. Its light overhead is one reason why it is so well suited for home NAS and media servers. Having been used by Western Digital, Zyxel and Belkin, Transmission gives truly impressive performance on almost any compatible hardware."
Transmission is a free and open source bit torrent client that runs natively on multiple operating systems and is available in many languages worldwide. Transmission is very lightweight and probably one of the best bit torrent clients around. Transmission was first released on September 15th 2005 and has came quite a long way since its first release.
Researchers at security website We Live Security have discovered the malware, called OSX/Keydnap, was spread through a recompiled version of Transmission temporarily distributed through the client's official website.
Simply want to remove this client, don't really like it. Can't figure out what packages it's installed as, tried both transmission and transmission-daemon, the first not being anything and the second states it's not installed.
Transmission is a lean, easy-to-use bittorrent client with support for encryption, a web interface, peer exchange, magnet links, DHT, µTP, UPnP and NAT-PMP port forwarding, webseed support, watch directories, tracker editing, global and per-torrent speed limits, and more.
Transmission has been built from the ground up to be a powerful, yet lightweight BitTorrent client. Its simple, intuitive interface is designed to integrate tightly with whatever computing environment you choose to use.
Transmission is a popular open source BitTorrent client that is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Ormandy has been analyzing several popular torrent clients and found that Transmission has a serious vulnerability.
By default, transmission creates a user and a group transmission, with its home files at /var/lib/transmission/, and runs as this "user". This is a security precaution, so transmission, and its downloads, have no access to files outside of /var/lib/transmission/. Configuration, operation, and access to downloads needs to be done with "root" privileges (e.g. by using sudo).
A recommendation for those running under username transmission is to create a shared download directory with the correct permissions to allow access to both the transmission user and system users, and then to update the configuration file accordingly. For example:
Now /mnt/data/torrents will be accessible for the system user facade and for the transmission group to which the transmission user belongs. Making the target directory world read/writable is highly discouraged (i.e. do not chmod the directory to 777). Instead, give individual users/groups appropriate permissions to the appropriate directories.
An alternative is to add your user to the transmission group (#usermod -a -G transmission yourusername) and then modify the permissions on the /var/lib/transmission and /var/lib/transmission/Downloads directories to allow rwx access by members of the transmission group.
If you want to Automatically add .torrent files from a folder, but you find that the watch-dir and watch-dir-enabled options set in the configuration file do not work, you can start the transmission daemon with the flag -c /path/to/watch/dir.
Now you are ready to launch the web interface by either clicking on the Open web client, which makes your default web browser open it, or manually reaching with any supported web browser.
However, remember that it writes the password it loaded with when it shuts down. So doing /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon restart will not do what you expect if you've written the file while it's running.
When it comes to BitTorrent clients, there are a lot to choose from. After using uTorrent for a while I found myself looking for a lightweight (and ad-free) alternative. In some cases, you will find that a heavy desktop app can be replaced by a simple command line alternative and Transmission CLI offers just that.
The installation will include a set of command line utilities but for the scope of this tutorial we will cover just two of these: transmission-daemon and transmission-remote.
To add a torrent you will use transmission-remote and pass the torrent file location as a parameter with the -a option. The file location can either be a local path to a downloaded torrent file or a direct URL to the online location.
Transmission has the features you want from a BitTorrent client: encryption, a web interface, peer exchange, magnet links, DHT, µTP, UPnP and NAT-PMP port forwarding, webseed support, watch directories, tracker editing, global and per-torrent speed limits, and more.
If you're big into BitTorrent, and you're a Mac user, here's hoping that you didn't grab a recently released version of the Transmission BitTorrent client for OS X. If so, you might have unknowingly infected your computer with the platform's first official ransomware.
According to Reuters(Opens in a new window), Apple is already using its Gatekeeper system to prevent new installations of the infected Transmission client, but that isn't very useful for those who have already installed it.
The lightweight and popular BitTorrent client Transmission 3.0 is released after more than two years of development. Transmission is currently the default BitTorrent client GNOME desktop environment and many of you might be using it in other platforms such as in KDE or Mac OS for downloading torrent and magnet files.
Historically, Transmission is the only stable, trusted, lightweight torrent client out there and still going. It has the latest torrent tech packed inside such as capable of running as a daemon in servers, remote-controlled from web-client, local peer discovery, full encryption, DHT, µTP, PEX, and Magnet Link support and many more.
The KeRanger malware, which imposes a 72-hour lockout window unless the victim pays 1 bitcoin ($410 as of this writing), appears to have been first discovered via a rogue version of Transmission, a popular BitTorrent client.
It works with most Linux distributions, Windows, and Mac OS X. This is because the client natively supports various UI schemes across platforms. You can even install it on a web server and access it remotely!
Transmission is a free BitTorrent client available for Linux. It uses very few resources as compared to other BitTorrent clients. The Transmission client application is not available in the Ubuntu 20.04 repository. However, Transmission can be installed via the external PPA repository. As of the time this guide was written, the latest version of Transmission is 3.00.
The BitTorrent client loads perfectly, and I guess it has a normal process execution speed, but I think takes too long (hours) to find seeds for the torrent. The same torrent file in a desktop computer find seeds just started.
