Pros, Cons and Notes

    by vrinek502

Pros: Really lightweight torrent client. Works flawlessly (0.71 tested) and easy to use. Mac version fits the whole OS X environment nicely.

Cons: No RSS feeds yet. Can't select to download certain files from a torrent.

Notes: libtransmission is also used for other torrent clients.
