Transmission is a really great bittorrent client. With a very easy to use interface, it is easy to configure and it's easy to manage your torrents. Creating them is a snap, too, in case you're one of those who likes to give back.

With the last couple of rounds of feature enhancements, transmission now lacks very few features of other clients. I still wish it allowed queue reordering, and I'm not convinced it pays much attention to "priority" settings, and I would really like to have the ability to manage upload slots. These are the only shortcomings I can think of at the moment.

I have right now 98 torrents in the queue and Transmission is running just as quietly in the background as ever, with no increased use of resources or any signs of unresponsiveness. I have also been using it without incident since v1.3 at a private tracker which officially discourages it because of problems with earlier version.

Transmission is a truly great piece of software which is steadily growing and developing. With just a very few features missing, Transmission is a "must try" for anyone looking into bittorrent clients.
