The Pros:Downloading and seeding queues. Basic scheduling. Downloads can be grouped.
The Cons:No Windows version. Earlier versions of Transmission did not strictly follow the BitTorrent specification - resulted in the client being banned from many private trackers.
Transmission is a free & open-source lightweight BitTorrent client featuring a simple interface. Transmission is compatible with Mac OS X, Linux and other Unix-like systems. Transmission is the current default Bittorrent client in the popular Linux distribution Ubuntu.

#transmission Agreed - I did some shopping around to replace Azureus/Vuse and Transmission won, hands-down. It ls small, uses very little resources, is simple, easy to use and navigate, and isn't bloated with rarely-used options. Small and efficient, I recommend it.

#transmission I've been using Transmission since it was released several years ago now, and haven't used any other client since. It's simple to use, simple to configure and just simply works. My favorite features include the transfer speed badges displayed on the dock icon, as well as the built-in bandwidth monitor. Also, the .torrent auto-loading feature is also very useful. Highly recommended.
