About
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol that is commonly used to distribute large amounts of data between multiple users.
Transmission is a BitTorrent client with an easy-to-use interface on top of a cross-platform backend. Native interfaces are available for macOS, Linux, and Windows, as well as command line binaries and a web GUI.
Notable features of Transmission include support for Local Peer Discovery, encryption, DHT, µTP, PEX and Magnet links.
