Transmission
A fast, easy and free BitTorrent client for macOS, Windows and Linux
Transmission is a free, open source BitTorrent client for macOS, Windows and Linux that handles downloading and sharing torrent files. It is designed to work with sensible defaults out of the box, while still exposing advanced configuration for users who need it.
Its feature set includes watch directories, bad peer blocklists, a web interface, privacy protection, full peer communications, tracker editing and speed limits. The macOS build is native to Apple Silicon, the Windows interface is built with Qt and ready for Windows 11, and the GTK interface follows the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines. The project reports a low memory and resource footprint, which makes it suitable for home NAS devices and media servers.
Transmission is aimed at individual users and hardware manufacturers looking for a lightweight BitTorrent client across desktop platforms. It is distributed as free, open source software with no paid edition or feature gating.
