%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Transmission Transmission is a cross-platform, open source BitTorrent client. This is useful for downloading large files (such as Linux ISOs) and reduces the need for the distributors to provide server bandwidth. The download speed of the client defaults to 50 KB/s which is quite slow. It can be raised, but even on a fast internet connection, the highest speeds seen were about 500 KB/s. For those that have internet capabilites faster thanabout 1 MB/s, direct downloads (if available) will be much faster. &lfs10_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &transmission-md5sum; Download size: &transmission-size; Estimated disk space required: &transmission-buildsize; Estimated build time: &transmission-time; Transmission Dependencies Required , and Recommended (to build a GUI) and Optional and User Notes: Install Transmission by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-cli && make Compile the Qt GUI with the following commands: pushd qt && qmake qtr.pro && make && popd This package does not come with a test suite.
