Lightweight and fast torrent client that optimizes download and upload speed with options to manage priorities, upload and download speeds.

Transmission-Qt is probably one of the fastest BitTorrent Clients. It sports a basic interface which takes advantage of all of the most recent torrent features.

Unlike other BitTorrent clients like BitComet or uTorrent, Transmission-Qt is fast and completely unbloated. It supports all of the most important features to download torrents while also providing seeing features.

Transmission-Qt can be configured just as most other torrent clients like the ability to limit upload and download speed, use proxies, set seeding options and configure remote connections.

You can use Transmission-Qt to enable encryption while downloading torrents. This isn't any good way to disable any person or company from tracking you, but can be useful for adding a bit of privacy when downloading over a public network.

Other features of Transmission-Qt including logs, configuring seeding ratios, incomplete file support and block lists.

Overall, Transmission-Qt is a very capable and very, very lightweight torrent client that provides all of the best options without the fluff.
