Transmission

I recently tried out the (relatively new) uTorrent for Mac, and its automatic bandwidth management really blows me away. Transmission doesn't even offer a feature similar to this.

With uTorrent running in the background, my internet browser still loads webpages at full speed, because uTorrent automatically adjusts its bandwidth based on my network load. When I have Transmission running in the background, everything slows down to a crawl unless I turn on speed-limit mode to throttle my downloads. Since uTorrent throttles in realtime, it can still run at full speed when I'm not loading anything (for example, while I'm typing this post). I never realized how much I missed uTorrent on Windows until it finally came to Mac.

I won't use anything but Transmission on my Mac. This app does all it should, without any bells and whistles - and that is just what I expect from the perfect torrent client.

I like Transmission, not only it is simple, light and a working application, but It is not just limited to Genome, you can use it in KDE too.

Very good as linux daemon - internal WebGui support, goof speed, No resource hogging. Gui, maybe, too simple, but OK

Much better than uTorrent for Mac. Transmission offers more option and provides more information.

Transmission is one of the easiest and most lightweight torrent clients on OS X. The gui is intuitive and uncluttered, but the program has some in-depth features. It even offers a web UI like uTorrent. For Windows, uTorrent is still number one, but on Macs, Transmission is giving the title-holder a run for its money.
