If you're a fan of the ever so popular BitTorrent client,
Transmission, then you might like to hear that a new version was just released. According to the
release notes some of the fixes included:
- You can now reset global statistics
- Support of multitracker torrents has been improved
- UPnP port mapping now faster on startup
- Ability to IP block using the Bluetack Level1 blocklist
- Dock badge images have been updated
The new dock badges provide greater readability of the transfer in progress. Transmission is freeware and can be
downloaded from their website.

anyone know if its possible to see the ratio for a specific torrent rather than the combined ratio for all the torrents?

You can also click (or right-click) on the icon of the torrent in the Transmission list window and select from a contextual menu. You can see upload, download speeds and seeding ratios.
Transmission is a great torrent client. I use it exclusively and even installed it on my hacked Apple TV--it runs incredibly well.

Some trackers haven't allowed this yet so I'd maybe wait until after the weekend to upgrade if you are a member of a private tracker. Or, check with your tracker before you upgrade is a better option.

The biggest update, I belive, is that Transmission now supports SSL-connections (https) which seems to be more and more popular.

I'm not really interested in the technical tweaks. If it works, and works well, and looks decent doing it, then I'm happy. I do like the new look for D/L U/L speed.

It's great to see this product mature. It is by far the best torrent client on the Mac. It's the easiest to use, runs the fastest (no Java), and hasn't been ruined by feature creep.

Transmission is still one of the best examples of open source software done RIGHT. Great UI, great functionality. If any devs are reading... great job!
Adium is kind of the same... but a lot of the features that have been on the request list for EONS have yet to make it into the app. It's an app that likes to grow in its own direction, its users be damned.

Is it me or the downloads are slower?
Besides, it seems to be dragging my network with it without proper compensation on download ratios...

Dammit, it now requires 10.4.11 but I'm perfectly happy with 10.4.9 and don't want to "upgrade" my entire OS for one app.
Has anyone got this working with 10.4.9?

Does this new update support traffic encryption to prevent ISP throttling?

strange, this update has been killing my network speeds, just like Strube's. This is totally unnecessary - from 6mpbs network speed down to 200kbps speed and I'm only downloading a torrent at 20kbps? This is totally lame!
