Thanks fo this. This beats Az if you need a quicky dl. Do you have a changelog?

[mejy]

I'd appreciate a change log too. Also, is it any less stable to leave running a torrent over night than 0.61, and does it use any more resources? I've been amazed at how stable and light weight transmission is since I combiled it a few months back.

Thanks for posting this. I want to come in here and make sure no one posts about specific private trackers this is banned on. This is prohibited.

I've got a big problem with the Transmission deb I got on the forums a month or so back.

It has a serious memory leak, and it fills up my gig of ram in short order (about 60 seconds) and starts on the swap file. After it starts on the swap file, it takes forever for any application to start or to come back from the screensaver. Has this been resolved in this release?

The link don't works for me, i only get a black pahe.
BTW why don0t you make a post or howto to let us now how do you build or compile this good client?

Thanks! Cheers!

It's easy, you just need gtk and subversion, the packages are subversion and libgtk2.0-dev

Then just follow the instructions on transmission site:

svn co svn://svn.m0k.org/Transmission/trunk Transmission

then cd to Transmission, do a ./configure , make and finally make install.

Well, i compiled transmission but how to have the gtk interface ?
After the install i've got transmissioncli but there's not graphical interface.

Thanks.

How about executing transmission-gtk in terminal window?

Even better: create a new menu item in your Gnome applications menu, putting transmission-gtk as the command.

[Linuturk]

does anyone have a deb of the .7 final release?

WOW!!!! This torrent client is freakin awesome!!!!!!!

[Morbett]

WOW is right.

This client is amazing. Everything and all I could ask for. Simple and just works, looks great too.

[haku.spejsr]

tnx, I heard some good stuff about this torrent client, and I'm fed up with my lil' blue frog, although it has cooler icon ^^ so I'm gonna try it out. cheers!

edit: oh yeah I liek it ... this is what lightweight is all about ...

[Darrena]

I created a proper package and it is available at:
http://darrenalbers.com/transmission

I am a little uncertain on the dependencies but I added all that I could determine based on configure, but if anyone finds that I am missing one please let me know and I will update the package.

Instructions are also available on the website for rebuilding the package for other arch's.

Anything for Dapper ? 8-[

[amgeex]

Well, you could build from source. You need the libevent, gtk2, and openssl dev libraries and maybe other package I forgot about. Search for them in synaptic, it shouldn't be hard to compile.

[embeemb]

Thanks. Downloading and compiling was a breeze! Now a very noob-ish question. To get it to run, I ran transmission-gtk ?

Is that it? Or is there anyway else to run it?

[megamads]

Here's a deb for transmission 0.72 (feisty)

[crhylove]

Thank You! Finally a decent Linux torrent program (though I still like it less than uTorrent in Windows)! I recommend you send your .deb files to transmission and let them have it on their website somewhere. Be nice for a lot of debian/ubuntu peeps who forget to google. GREAT APP!!

There are deb packages on the GTK section of the Transmission forum.
