About Transmission
Transmission is a BitTorrent client designed for efficiency and simplicity. It uses very little CPU or memory compared to other clients, making it ideal for headless servers and home NAS setups. The project offers a desktop GUI, a web interface, and a daemon that runs without a display.
The daemon can be controlled remotely via the web UI or command-line tools like transmission-remote. It supports scheduling, bandwidth shaping, and encryption. Transmission runs on Linux, macOS, BSD, and Windows. It is written in C with a small codebase, which contributes to its stability and low attack surface.
System administrators often use Transmission on always-on machines for automated downloads. It is open source under the GPL license and maintained by a community of volunteers. The project has been active since 2005 and is packaged in most Linux distribution repositories.
