I am a Transmission fan since version 1.6x. While this version fixes stuff that were not an issue for me, it shows that the developers are actively interested in keeping the product as fresh as possible. It seems to offer features (like the bad peer blocker function and a per-torrent priority) that other P2P clients do not have. It's setup was intuitive for a novice, like me, and overtime the setup options have become familiar to me; what I am trying to say is that it comes operational 'out of the box' and gives you the time to learn how tweaks may be able to improve its performance in your ISP environment. In my experience, the concepts of P2P is something that takes a while to fully understand (if that is possible) and the Transmission product gives you the time to grabble with understanding what that environment is all about while using the P2P world.

My wish is that a user adjustable parameter be added to allow the user (me) to set the number of seeding peers per torrent. Now, this number is now fixed at 15. A global parameter would be just fine; a parameter per torrent would be elegant. I have plenty of bandwidth that is not being used and if I could offer more seeders per torrent then I would feel as a 'better' contributor to the P2P concept.

This product alone would be reason enough to switch to a Mac if I were a Windows user.
