| 29 | <application>Transmission</application> is a cross-platform, open source
|

| 30 | BitTorrent client. This is useful for downloading large files (such as

| 31 | Linux ISOs) and reduces the need for the distributors to provide server

| 32 | bandwidth.

| 36 | The download speed of the client defaults to 50 KB/s which is quite slow.
|

| 37 | It can be raised, but even on a fast internet connection, the highest
|
|---|
| 38 | speeds seen were about 500 KB/s. For those that have internet capabilities

| 39 | faster than about 1 MB/s, direct downloads (if available) will be much faster.
