After almost 3 years since the previous release, Transmission BitTorrent client 4.0 has been released today. This major new release includes changes like code migration from C90 to C++, GTK 4 support, rewritten web client, support for BitTorrent v2 and hybrid torrents, performance improvements, and more.
Transmission is a lightweight, free and open source BitTorrent client for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux. It comes with GTK+ and Qt GUIs on Linux and BSD, a Qt-based Windows GUI and a native macOS GUI. It can be used without a GUI too, using the headless daemon for servers and routers, and there's also a web UI for remote controlling both this headless daemon, and the GUIs.
The application user interface is designed to be easy to use, while also providing powerful features like speed limits and schedule, watch directories, bad peer blocklists, UPnP and NAT-PMP port forwarding, and much more.
