Transmission 0.90 released
Written by Kevin Fordham
Transmission, the one and only BitTorrent client that has ever graced my applications folder was updated this week. If you don’t know about Transmission, it’s a lightweight, open source, BitTorrent client that doesn’t get in the way. This update is news because it includes the number one user requested feature, encryption. In addition to encryption, it includes a number of other updates:
- Encryption support, with option to ignore unencrypted peers
- Ban peers that send too much bad data
- Only report downloaded, verified good pieces in tracker `download’ field
- Improved compliance with BitTorrent spec
- MSE Tracker Extension support
- Significant rewrite of the libtransmission back-end
- Icon enhanced to support size of 512 x 512
- Per-torrent action menu
- Redesigned inspector with additional statistics and ability to be resized vertically in Peers and files tabs
- Redesigned message log
- Optimizations to decrease memory usage
- Sort and filter by tracker
- Various smaller interface additions and improvements
You can download 0.90 here. Transmission is open source and free to download and use. If you really like Transmission, you can donate to the project and developers here.
