CS and the City

Transmission has been a favourite BitTorrent client of mine for a long time. Its compact design, complete feature set and small memory footprint are much preferred over the bulky Azureus. Unfortunately, somewhere after v0.7, it lost its high-performance ways and I had to switch back to Azureus just to get my downloads to work.

I recommend any Mac owner check it out for their BitTorrent needs. It’s now also available on Linux/*BSD so I suspect they can experience the same joy
