Numberzz Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Transmission was finally taken out of beta form yesterday. The 1.0 release spots a new icon and a nice new interface, along with a few more changes. These include: -- Group labeling, filtering, and sorting -- Leopard: Time Machine will ignore incomplete downloads -- Display remaining time for seeding transfers -- Ability to set global and per-torrent number of connections The new version can be downloaded from the Transmission Website or from the "Check for Update" menu item in the application itself.

BOL_fan Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Nice, but it's still no uTorrent. Why aren't there any comparably good clients for OS X?

fabriciom Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Isn't Transmission blocked by a bunch of trackers or is it other torrent clients? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80040-transmission-10-released/#findComment-567309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackedintosh Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Deluge for linux is the best bt client I have ever used, and I have used a lot. Transmission is fair but has no built in ip filter or plugins. If only macports worked on my hackbook...

Hagar Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Isn't Transmission blocked by a bunch of trackers or is it other torrent clients? One very ancient beta had a bug that caused it to be banned on some trackers... this was fixed many months ago.

djXtreme Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Upgraded this morning, having horrible stability issues. Its fine if its hidden in my dock, downloading away, but If i bring the window up for more than 1-2 mins, it crashes and is a swine to force close (the process finishes but the app icon still registers as open. Have to wait 5-10 minutes for it to realise ive forced it close) Several of the users on their forums are experiencing similar issues Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80040-transmission-10-released/#findComment-567335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 So now instead of it just taking 2 minutes to close when I quit it, it has a message saying "Quitting" on the icon. They need to get that bug fixed soon, because it's really making me begin to hate this client...

Konami® Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I have no APE in my MacDell neither on my PowerBook and it does the large quiting thing :censored2: In my hackintosh, transmission 1.0 quit in just one second, very quick. I hate the previous beta version, I had to force to quit because the simple quit option does not work and in some ocassion froze my system for a few seconds.

apowerr Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Transmission is my favorite client for OS X.

Hagar Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Wierd, I never had that problem, but that may be because I hardly ever quit transmission, after all, you want it seeding 24/7 right?

idividebyzero Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Quits for me. And finally its as fast as Azureus after raising the tiny default max connection setting up to a few hundred. It just gathers connections slooow compared to Az.

DavidJavid Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Whenever I'm in the UI for more than a few seconds, it gets very slow, and then freezes. It shut down great for me in 1.0 beta 2, but then after that version it froze my whole system every time. Then when I force quit, it refused to leave my dock. The .8x versions really acted the best for me. Now I'm running tinyxp in vmware with utorrent in unity. Much easier than using transmission, and the speeds are much better.

MacintizeD Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 On mine, 0.92 beta is the latest version that does not hang while quitting. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80040-transmission-10-released/#findComment-567697 Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyhighmac Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I need a better client than azureus, but transmission is told to be used at "your own risk."

Special-K Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I just upgraded, and now I'm guessing I shouldn't have. Anybody got any good OS X torrent apps? Not a fan of Azureus, doesn't give me the speeds I should be getting. Transmission did when I first used it, but it doesn't connect to any leechers once I'm seeding. Any suggestions for anything better? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80040-transmission-10-released/#findComment-567849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
3phemeral Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Nice, but it's still no uTorrent. Why aren't there any comparably good clients for OS X? You can use Darwine to run uTorrent on OSX, if i remember correctly, or Crossover For Mac. I think i was even able to associate torrents with uTorrent using Darwine, but can't recall where i got the instructions in order to achieve that... It ran smoothly, using relatively few resources Deluge for linux is the best bt client I have ever used, and I have used a lot. Transmission is fair but has no built in ip filter or plugins. If only macports worked on my hackbook...w00t, that looks good pretty similar to uTorrent i'd say, but for Linux. I'll give that a shot some day, when i actually need to run a torrent client on my computer again [as torrentflux-b4rt runs smoothly on the server ].

serjek Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 It just freezes after several seconds after launch forcing 100% CPU usage, no matter hidden in dock or opened as a window. damn!
