Download Ubuntu Torrent – Transmission

The Transmission is one of the best BitTorrent Clients which are available recently. The software is so good that people love it and the Ubuntu appreciates it by making it as the default Client. It has all the features that you need and is lightweight also.
The Ubuntu has a BitTorrent Client named Gnome and it is now being replaced by the Transmission. This Ubuntu torrent Client is being included in the 4th Alpha release of hardy heron. In April 2008 a stable version of Ubuntu torrent Client 8.04 was released.
The most of the users after using the Transmission BitTorrent Client are more than satisfied and so there has been an increase in its popularity. The users feel that it is very fast and allows them to use it with less disk space usage. The cross platform product is available for all the operating systems and is an open source project. But it is not provided for windows instead utorrent is being used. They both are relatively similar and satisfy a BitTorrent user’s needs.
This is what the Transmission team words meant when BitTorrent was adapted by Ubuntu: “The Transmission software has been built with the goal of being lightweight but also being a commanding BitTorrent Client. It has a very elegant yet simple interface that allows you to work on any chosen platform. Transmission is the perfect choice as it would provide functionality without bloat and is well balanced.”
Since the BitTorrent Client is lightweight it can be used on mobile phones, routers and NAS devices. The clutch adds to the advantages of Transmission as you would be able to control and supervise the torrent transfer from one particular place. The clutch team has released v0.3 and further.

Find Your Transmission Bittorrent Client At ubuntu Torrent Web Interface

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.”
