Features

Transmission allows users to download files from the Internet and upload their own files or torrents. By grabbing items and adding them to the interface, users can create queues of files to be downloaded and uploaded. Within the file selection menus, users can customise their downloads down to components of individual files. Transmission also seeds—that is, it can re-upload downloaded content.

  • Prioritization to select which torrents, and which files inside those torrents, to download first
  • Magnet links support introduced in 1.80[5]
  • Selective downloading
  • Optionally move torrents to a different folder when they finish downloading
  • Encrypted peer connections
  • Torrent file creation
  • Peer exchange (compatible with Vuze and μTorrent)
  • A built-in web server so that users can control Transmission remotely via the web (using RPC or WebUI)
  • Automatic port mapping (using UPnP/NAT-PMP)
  • Fast Resume — with peer caching
  • Blocklists for bad peers, periodically updated with the same bluetack peer list used by PeerGuardian and PeerBlock
  • Single listening port for all torrents
  • Scheduled bandwidth limits
  • Global and per-torrent bandwidth caps
  • Sorting/filtering options
  • HTTPS tracker support
  • IPv6 support (partial[6]) introduced in 1.50
  • DHT (Mainline) support introduced in 1.70,[7] IPv6 DHT implemented for 1.80[8]
  • Multiple line tracker list manipulation[9]
  • The usages of multiple trackers simultaneously[10]
  • Local Peer Discovery support introduced in 2.00[11]
  • µTP support introduced in 2.30[12]
  • UDP tracker support introduced in 2.30[13]
  • Torrent queuing support introduced in 2.40[14]

Mac OS X specific features include:

  • Transfer management
    • Downloading and seeding queues
    • Auto-seeding options
    • Groups
  • Dock and Growl notifications
  • Quick Look technology built-in. (Mac OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion only)
  • Customizable toolbar
  • Advanced progress box
  • Automatic updates using Sparkle
  • Universal Binary

Development

Transmission allows users to monitor a torrent's activity.

Transmission 1.60 and later removed support for Mac OS X v10.4. Currently, Transmission 1.54 is the last version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 (although it is possible to compile later versions from source, using a package manager like Fink or MacPorts; however, this is unsupported). Starting with Transmission 2.30[15] an Apple Mac with an Intel CPU is needed; PowerPC-based systems are no longer supported natively.

The Transmission back-end (libTransmission) also serves as the basis of the Transmission daemon. The daemon supports a web front-end called Clutch. Older versions have been ported to form the basis of the update system for the video game Metal Gear Online on PS3,[16] as well as the backend for ImageShack's BitTorrent service.

Ports

There are several transmission clients for different operating systems including Linux and Unix-like, Mac OS X and BeOS/ZETA; each operating system front-end is built using native widget toolkits.[4]

An unofficial port of Transmission using a command-line interface (CLI) on the iOS was accomplished on March 3, 2008.[17] In November 2010, iTransmission, another unofficial port, was released for jailbroken iPhones sporting a GUI that is capable of downloading directly to the device over WiFi or 3G.[18] A Transmission remote was released for Android, with the name of Transdroid but does not currently support downloading directly to devices.

On Windows, Transmission-Qt can be built with MinGW,[2] the daemon and console tools can be built with Cygwin,[19] also there are two third-party GUIs: Transmission Remote Dot Net[20] and transmission-remote-gui,[21] as well as unofficial full builds of Transmission's Qt Client.,[22][23]

It is also ported to the Maemo OS of the Nokia N810 and N900 Internet tablets on which it does download the torrents to the device.

Reception

Transmission is the default BitTorrent client of many Unix and Linux distributions, including Joli OS, Solaris,[24] Ubuntu,[25] Mandriva,[26] Mint,[27] Fedora,[28] Puppy,[29] CrunchBang,[30] Zenwalk,[31] and the GNOME flavor of openSUSE.[32]

On Mac OS X, it is the most popular BitTorrent client downloaded from Mac software websites MacUpdate and VersionTracker.[citation needed]

Fonera ships its routers with Transmission pre-installed.[33]

CNET editor Paul Huges praised Transmission for its "simplicity, lightweight, as well as being feature-packed" and the software is currently ranked second in P2P downloads for Mac on CNET.[34]
