| 32 | <application>Transmission</application> is a cross-platform, open source
|

| 33 | BitTorrent client. This is useful for downloading large files (such as

| 34 | Linux ISOs) and reduces the need for the distributors to provide server

| 35 | bandwidth.

|
|---|
| 41 | speeds seen were about 500 KB/s. For those that have internet capabilities

| 42 | faster than about 1 MB/s, direct downloads (if available) will be much faster.
