The torrents have become one of the best ways to upload and download almost anything you want. The most preferred cross-platform named BitTorrent Client, Transmission had released a better version in the recent past. The newer version is much more advanced and would allow you to control your torrent from any web browser. It also comes bundled with clutch and loads of new features.
The multi platform BitTorrent Client – Transmission is totally free and has gained a very good popularity. The most of the software users consider it to be the best as it is fast and does not eat up large disk space.
The open source BitTorrent would run on any of the given operating system providing functionality without any bloat. The Client has exception of windows but on the
ubuntu torrent web interface it is default.
The most of the windows users prefer the utorrent as their BitTorrent Client and they are able to control their torrents from the webUI which is known as web user interface. This webUI which is used for the transmission is better known as “
Clutch”. There is a big advantage of this additional software as it would allow you to observe and control any torrent transfers from any of the websites that are connected on the internet by just sitting at one place.
When you were using the older versions of the
BitTorrent Client the Transmission and the clutch had to be obtained separately. But it was all changed when the BitTorrent launched its new Transmission releases which are v1.30 and v1.31.
This is what one of the well known clutch developers – Gimp, had to say: “We are more than happy to announce that the Clutch developmental project and the Transmission project have become one. There will be no separate clutch releases from the v1.30 onwards and it would be bundled within Transmission. But if you have any older version of Transmission then you can download the clutch v0.4 from clutchbt.com. But anyhow that version is not supported any more.”
The Transmission version released last would work on the JSON-RPC protocol. The advantage of the new protocol is that other applications of BitTorrent Clients including the windows version would be able to make backend Transmission. The v1.30 and v1.31 of Transmission include enhancements such as:
- The compatibility to add or remove tracker addresses.
- Create .torrent files along with multiple tracker URLs.
- Includes support for FTP/HTTP seeding.
If you want to search for the clutch then go to ‘Preferences’ and under that click the ‘Remote’ tab.
There were few more additional words from Gimp to the community saying that: “Even though clutch has merged with the
Transmission but clutch would remain a very new project. This is a new version of the Transmission with clutch but there is still room for improvement as there are few areas to be worked on. The people who make the usage of the clutch should go ahead and submit patches for improvements! But clutch does not have developer with enough time to work on clutch and anyone with good experience and time can walk in.”
