Transmission 1.00 is Out
The popular BitTorrent client, Transmission came out of beta a few days ago.
According to the Transmission website, the 1.00 release includes the following of OS X related updates:
- Redesigned Leopard-like look
- Group labeling, filtering, and sorting
- Statistics window
- Pieces Bar (return of Advanced Bar)
- Display ‘not available’ overlay on the regular bar
- Display remaining time for seeding transfers
- Sort by total activity
- Connectable from the Clutch web interface
- Leopard: Time Machine will ignore incomplete downloads
- Leopard: Fix bug where text fields would reject localized decimal values
- Leopard: Fix bug where bandwidth rates chosen from the action menu would not apply the first time
I like the clean interface and I think it’s one of the best BitTorrent clients for the Mac. You can download your free copy from theTransmission website.
While the BitTorrent protocol is a nice, efficent way to share large files, I don’t like the fact that other people can see your IP address. For those concerned about maintaining some level of privacy, I recommend downloading your files through the newsgroups.
