Transmission 1.0 Released


Numberzz

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.

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...

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.

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)

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...

Not having any such issue on both my Hackintosh and my MacBook, so I guess it depends on what other stuff you've got running. Disable APE and the likes, maybe?

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.

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.

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?

 

Only if you're running your computer 24/7. It can be a real PITA having to wait 2 minutes when you want to shutdown your PC...

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.

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?

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 :)

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 :D].

Disable APE? Care to enlighten me lol.

 

As I said though, its fine sat "hid" in the dock. If i show it, it crashes. very strange.

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

 

I will roll back to 0.96

Tried clutch? it's more efficient than TF-b4rt as it runs its torrents in a single process rather than running a separate process for each torrent. Useful if your server isn't overly powerful, or if you are running many torrents.
