Transmission is a also information for the network BitTorrent whose use is very simple. Perhaps it is due to this simplicity that some users find the program somewhat limited, although it is really convenient for those users who do not want to complicate too much to make the program do what it is supposed to do: download.
The best thing about Transmission is that it can run as demon driving from the comfort or from environments Qt like KDE or GTK like GNOME since it has both interfaces. It also has a web client to connect to the application remotely - something that can also be done from the program itself through the menu Edit → Change session–.
However, it is not that Transmission lacks Advanced Options, which are many and are available just a click away for those users who want to use them.
Download directories, transfer limits According to the ratio or time without activity, establish if you prefer - or require - the encryption of connections, Speed limits, block lists, port configuration and the type of connection are some things that can be configured in the application preferences.
Open Source
One of the things that is advertised the most on the Transmission site is the fact that the application is from open source, placing special emphasis on the fact that the program does not include toolbars, banner ads, or additional tools during its installation. It also does not have a paid version and the source code it is available to any user.
