- lpmiller, on 10/10/2007, -4/+57So girls date you now?
- miyamotofreak, on 10/10/2007, -1/+39Best OS X client! With this release they solved all my problems!
- vraa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31This is such a badass torrent client for OSX.
Shoot the devs a thanks when you have a chance by popping in #transmission on irc.freenode.net :) - mastercheif, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20Add encryption, and I would consider switching from Azureus.
- ampd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14I have been using this client for awhile now and it's great. The only feature I would like to see implemented is transport encryption but I'm sure developers are working hard to add this.
- ross., on 10/10/2007, -6/+20I had incomplete torrents and upgraded without data loss.
- DROWE859, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14µTorrent: www.utorrent.com
- TomFrost, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10"It was a torrent file from thepiratebay.org"
There's your problem, buddy. thepiratebay is an awesome place, but it's a public tracker, and the most trolled by the MAFIAA. If you want to be safe, use private trackers. - 00011000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10this has been my favorite torrent client for a while now and been using Azureus simply for the file selection capability. no needs now! Transmission 0.8 am win!
- 0two, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I tried near every BT client on OS X, and this is the best one. No competition. It's lightweight, simple, elegant and fast, and keeps HD read/writes to an absolute minimum. Good stuff. It's too bad they can't port it to Windows, it's a shame they don't get to use this great piece of software.
- kinghajj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Azureus is big, slow and difficult to learn. Transmission is small, fast and simple.
- kinghajj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9For me, this is the best client for Linux, too. I'm probably going to get a lot of flak for this, but Azureus was always too slow and hard to get working for me. And the standard gnome client is like the (former) stardard Bit Torrent client--it's horrible.
- knightboat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9All that's really missing is encryption and ipfilter.dat support.
- sicapitan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8errr, COMPLETE YOUR DOWNLOADS BEFORE UPGRADING OR YOU WILL LOSE DATA!
/???/rf/r3 - fremeer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8utorrent is enough for windows users but will definitely check it on ubuntu.
- mexman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Tiny footprint, wonderful interface, and FAST.
- manitoba98xp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6@ers35: But is that really "integrated"?
- mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Firefox doesn't have an integrated bittorrent client.
- HA5TY, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Yea, this is the best. Very easy to use. Plus this update fixed a lot (maybe all) of the problems
- mexman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I've been testing the BETA releases up to the .80 release. I love the changes, however I hope the .80 release fixes the torrent creation problems. When you create a torrent, even though it asks you where you want to save it, the file goes into "Library/Application Support/Transmission", and doesn't have a .torrent extension. So you have to go into Inspector, find out what the file is called (naming convention is like 34kdjsdfjkowoiu98237-macosx), change it to something legible and add the .torrent extension.
PITA, but overall not a big deal, especially now that Azureus isn't hogging all of my poor mac mini's CPU and memory. - cave, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Ya I me too. My ISP puts a ridiculous 100kbit speed cap on all unencrypted torrent traffic, So Transmission isn't even an option to consider for me unfortunately :(
- mscman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That's the point of nightly builds... they work out the bugs for the next stable release (i.e. 0.8...) I would be worried if the nightly builds didn't have these features in them for awhile.
- oblivinated, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5utorrent is = lightweight, simple, elegant, fast, and keeps hd read/writes to a minimum.
- bignetbuy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4A great BT client for OS X. Kick the developers a few bucks if you can. Great software like Transmission should be encouraged.
- flashboy131, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3yeah thats what i mean, wasn't being sarcastic.... ooooh
- Kypt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Oink is one of the strictest private trackers out there and they have now allowed Transmission .8 to play in their servers, so I would say this is a nonissue now.
- a0me, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3And I guess they're a lot of people in the same situation.
I thought the encryption protocol was open source, is it so hard to add to Transmission or is it a feature intentionally left out by the authors? - dyslexicsUNTIED, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3i am not downloading anything right now. but after upgrading i feel i must just to try it
- Soulglow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3direct link since the site is kinda slow:
http://mirrors.m0k.org/transmission/files/Transmission-0.80.dmg - flashboy131, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3oooh file selection.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Azureus has a ***** ***** interface, rendering it mostly useless no matter how powerful it may be
- r0ck3tm4nn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Does the 0.8 version report upload statistics properly to private trackers?
- livings124, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4This is complete misinformation ever since 0.7. All these issues have been fixed for a long while. In fact, we have been working closely with Oink on this release and they recommend using Transmission 0.8 on their site.
- BRODEL, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Nah, most of the rips we get have that ***** stripped from them (which is another plus for downloading to not FORCING me to sit through that ***** on a *legal* disc)
- NerdyNinja, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3It might be that whole war that the media companies have been waging against stealing music, movies, and more. Or you use way too much bandwidth and drew a red flag from your ISP. Try buying things more often. I'd ask you if you'd seen those bits before the menu on a DVD that starts off with "You wouldn't steal a car..." and ends up being a threatening message about downloading things you didn't pay for, but I'm guessing you haven't bought a DVD recently.
- jas8522, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I did some checking on this the other day - apparently the developer that was working on the OS X release of uTorrent had some family matters to attend to - basically he's not working on it anymore. They're expecting a new developer to start on it again within the next few months, so it likely won't be done until December or January. That gives T enough time to implement encryption first then the most common features are just about matched.
- billyoneal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Azerus runs on Java, which is slow as molassis in january.
- hudef, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Great, thanks.
- L3ggy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yes, i love Tansmission. I didn't complete my downlaods but i got most back.
- billyoneal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2One word: Configurability. The advanced node in uTorrent allows you to make the most of your internet connection. It also allows you to cache more than windows, which is good because that is why Azerus bogs down all the time. Horrible cacheing
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Sometimes isp's limit speeds across commonly used bit torrent ports in an attempt to thwart illegal file sharing. Try setting the port to something different. I know there are lists of ports that aren't reserved for anything else out on the web; just google for it.
- roberto_deneero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Thanks. Does PeerGuardian help protect download or not?
- vrillusions, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Transmission is a whole lot faster. But you're also comparing a Java based app with an os x native app, so it's going to be faster. I even dropped Azureus on my windows computer because it's just gotten slower and slower and use µtorrent ( http://www.utorrent.com ) on windows.
- livevil, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Transmission is a beast on Linux!!!
- jas8522, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It is very likely to be one of features to be added in 0.90
- zamal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Great client but still banned on Blackcats.
Transmission has been unbanned everywhere else, since version 0.7…
Can somebody PLEASE convince these people ?
This is such a lack of respect for mac-users. - Ugoff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Great client but I've always had ***** luck with it. Random "Insufficient resources" errors and when I would start the torrent again, the torrent would check itself and It would end up showing less downloaded then before. I don't know how many times I would have to almost re-download torrents as big as 10-12 gigs. It just got so annoying and I was looking at other clients and the only reason why I stuck with Transmission was because all the other clients suck. I'm waiting for uTorrent to finally come out for Mac.
- sancho320, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I used to bitch about not being able to select specific files (Azeurus sucks in OS X).
But now, I can go find something else to bitch about. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1really? i guess I can finally use it
- stalefries, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Either get torrents with more seeds, or find out what your ISP is doing. You want to try opening up some ports, too.
