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 strikes a balance between providing useful functionality without feature bloat.

Furthermore, it is free for anyone to use or modify.

Features

Transmission runs natively on over five operating systems.

All this is done in the background, without the user having to worry about complicated prefs.

These days, bandwidth is a precious commodity.

Transmission allows you to ration this commodity efficiently.

You might want to queue your torrents for maximum performance.

Or throttle their speed during peak periods.

Transmission easily lets you do both, and thus only works its hardest when you want it to.
