Transmission 1.0 Released
Yesterday, the open-source, multi-platform BitTorrent client, Transmission, made it out of beta. Hitting version 1.0, the popular OS X (and GTK) torrent client brought about a handful of changes.
Foremost is the app’s look and feel. Overhauled to match Leopard’s new look, the design is a solid metal grey and sports buttons similar to those on Apple’s Mail 3.0.
In addition to matching the look of Leopard, Transmission is now fully compatible with OS X 10.5. Many numerous bugs have been fixed, including the fact that Time Machine ignores incomplete downloads while making backups.
Also new in Transmission 1.0 is labeling, filtering and sorting by Group. You may assign each of your torrent files a colored label, much like in OS X. From that, you can select any of your color groups from a drop down menu, to search and filter through them.
In all, this update to Transmission is a much needed one, and really solidifies its position as the best BitTorrent client for the Mac (sorry guys, uTorrent, over WINE or otherwise, is still king in my book).
Transmission is free (both as in beer and speech, as it is open source), and available for download here.
I notice you are downloading Totally Rad Show. Good choice
