Description:

Transmission is a set of lightweight BitTorrent clients (in GUI, CLI and daemon form). All its incarnations feature a very simple, intuitive interface on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end.

This is just a metapackage depending on one of the front-end alternatives

Musickiller 3 years ago	3	Nice, but doesn't has some functions I need, and it makes it useless for me xD
jahid_0903014 3 years ago	1	I utterly hate it, qbittorrent should be added as default torrent client instead of this crap
blaztek 4 years ago	5	Suits me very well. Easy to use. Small and simple but does the job well.
anandrkris 4 years ago	3	Good but I prefer Deluge over this as the bottom pane offers more options and makes features easily discoverable.
loxu 4 years ago	5	Мой самый любимый торрент клиент! Простой и лёгкий, даже на винду скачал qt версию, вместо utorrent.
FLOWXP 4 years ago	2	after all this years and still no label option !! why ?

topper 4 years ago	5	Simple, fácil de usar y muy eficaz
DonGiovanni 4 years ago	4	Lightweight, easy to use and user friendly. I used it a lot but now I actually prefer KTorrent. Nevertheless, Transmission is a close 2nd and, if you're looking for lightweight, you'll be pleased with it.
pomukal 4 years ago	5	great
cesarer 4 years ago	5	Simple y fácil de usar, sin tanta herramienta confusa que jamás llegaré a usar como lo tienen otros programas, hace justo lo que se supone que debe de hacer y lo hace bien.

joez 4 years ago	5	Tried it some time ago and didn't like it, but looks like a lots changed and now I've stopped using utorrent server and find transmission to work as well or even better, especially like the lower CPU usage.
tabascott 4 years ago	4	Best!
silicont 4 years ago	5	Seems to be the best torrent client for Ubuntu. Several attempts with other clients seemed to have issues of one sort or another. Always returned to Transmission! Ample remote control applications, too.

joz13 5 years ago	4	Lots of folk say "app X is better" there is no good ore better, it's a matter of personal taste. Transmission works great and it's not loaded with features from witch 99% you dont really need ore use. Yet it supports everything you need.
dgswilson 5 years ago	5	I use it. It's as fast as your ISP. I've seen no reason to look for anything else.

Pulse 5 years ago	4	Small and lightweight, but is missing a few of the more advanced options in other torrent, suggest looking at their website to get latest version and updated ppa repository (default repos seem to always be quite a few stable versions behind)

walkenx 6 years ago	5	Léger et efficace
napolean_p 6 years ago	5	One of the reasons I abandoned my first experiment with linux sometime back was because torrent speeds were quite low compared to utorrent in windows.From what I read it is due to utorrent being optimised for Unp and with transmission one has to forward the ports manually to get the best speeds.In Linux Mint Maya,all these problems have been solved.I am getting speeds even better than I used to get with utorrent.Bravo !
admessenger 6 years ago	4	little magic tool!
francheu 6 years ago	5	très bon logiciel, simple et rapide

chassum 6 years ago	5	simple and reliable enough for mere mortals to use.
Simeon 6 years ago	5	Torrminator
ttmrichter 6 years ago	4	Overall I like this. Being able to support the "udp://blahblahblah" URLs for trackers, however, would get me to bump it up to five stars.
linuxsapien 6 years ago	4	of course I like it, we all like it ;) I just wish I could figure out the daemon stuff...

riki137 7 years ago	2	Deluge is a lot better..
Inoki 7 years ago	3	Good client but lacks some essential features others have, like DHT technology, the operation to select which files to download also doesn't work and is rarely updated.
RavS 7 years ago	4	Quite simple and fast. But it's interface is a bit of put-off for me. I like Deluge more. Even qBittorrent is good.
tek_heretik 7 years ago	5	Works better than Vuze, simple and uncluttered, spam free!

houn 7 years ago	3	i would suggest you try qbittorrent, it has almost the same interface as utorrent. you'll love it....
MestreLion 7 years ago	2	Ok, interface is clean and app is lightweight. But its WAY too spartan. I think Deluge is a much better choice, and still simple and clean enough.

jahwarrior4179 7 years ago	3	Si at first I gave this 5 stars for its simplicity on a netbook, howerver lately it has been freezing on me and sometimes won't show me the screen to see what is complete. It also has a habit of trying to start a new session when I add a new torrent.

harveyboy83 7 years ago	4	Simple, does the job.
elscripto 7 years ago	2	Transmission is a huge disappointment to me. Extremely slow. I was forced to switch to uTorrent via Wine, that though emulated, is 3-4 times faster at download speeds than the native code Transmission!
