Easy & Powerful Transmission is designed for easy, powerful use. We've set the defaults to "just work," and it only takes a few clicks to configure advanced features like watch directories, bad peer blocklists, and the web interface. When Ubuntu chose Transmission as its default BitTorrent client, one of the most-cited reasons was its easy learning curve. Lightweight & Lightning Fast 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 delivers truly impressive performance on almost any compatible hardware. Open Source & Privacy Focused Transmission is an open-source, volunteer-based project. Unlike some BitTorrent clients, Transmission doesn't "play games" with its users to make money. We don't bundle toolbars, pop-up ads, flash ads, twitter tools, or anything else. We don't hold features back for a payware version, and we never track our users. Our website and forums are free of third-party ads and analytics. Sleek & Feature Rich All the features you want from a BitTorrent client with an easy-to-use interface: privacy protection, a web interface, full peer communications, tracker editing, speed limits, and more.
