This product was good once - fast, crisp a great little P2P program but the author has now munged it up with a bunch of new features (torrent creation) and has caused the program to slow transfers or stop them all together announcing "insufficient resources". It is sad that he has to screw it up so badly. I keep going back to the 70+ versions. You can run a file across the top of the screen to the other side of your display without the file getting caught midway through Transmission. That's ridiculous of course. I guess the thought it was a "cool" feature but it is crap. Try and import a torrent and the damn thing crashes and you've got to start all over again while it puts every file on pause and checks the download contents. That can take quite some time.
And although I hate it, I just switch to Azureus - another download dog but at least it gets the job done. And please, don't tell me it is my system. Tomato et all run perfectly fine, fast and nice and these are all unfettered with crap P2P applications.

Transmission Fails - macomaniac8754
mikexryan, yes this program did crash me on a few occasions.Nevertheless, it does not deserve 1 star for crying out loud.
The drag and drop install, great user interface, and simple easy to use design and it's definitely useable.
I used to use Azureus and it used to crash on me all the time.
If Transmission crashes on you all the time, I must say it's *Your System*
I leave Transmission on for days and it never crashed on me once. In fact, it would be done with my downloads when I return.
Definitely you have underscore this app which is insulting to someone who has put so much time and dedication. For that, I feel you have done something wrong to the developer. Hope you never download this program again unless you apologize to the developers of this great app. Hope you are completely happy with a torrent especially when you are getting the program and the downloads for free.
