Undoubtedly many of you know of it already, but Transmission (http://www.transmissionbt.com/ http://www.transmissionbt.com/) is an amazing, lightweight Bittorrent client which includes a web interface and things like scheduling. It's included by default in many Linux distros.

This is one of the few apps I really miss now that I'm on Windows rather than Mac OS.

  There is a Windows port, but it was a bit buggy the last time I checked (about a year ago). http://sourceforge.net/projects/trqtw/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/trqtw/

    Is it really? I've used it for months and haven't had any problem. I didn't even know it was a port until very recently.

The headless daemon works great on a Raspberry Pi, too (assuming the Pi has some storage to use). Transmission-remote-gtk used as a client for it is heavenly.

  Or the remote-transmission chrome plugin, or setting up transmission to watch a dropbox folder for torrents, etc. -- lots of great ways to interact with the transmission daemon.

    I use the headless transmission daemon on a 25$ Seagate Dockstar (hacked to Debian) and command it via -Chrome plugin on my main computer + webUI on other computers (or for additional commands) -Transdroid Android client on my Nexus phone and tablet Almost perfect (almost because sometimes there are some minor glitches)

      I found two non-torrent-related Android apps called "Transdroid" and one called "Transdrone". Is that the one you use?

        This is the app: http://www.transdroid.org/ http://www.transdroid.org/ it's not on the Google App store (It has been removed) so you have to download the APK from their site and install it (enabling non trusted sources on the phone) There's also a companion Search app, it should be this one: http://code.google.com/p/transdroid-search/ http://code.google.com/p/transdroid-search/

        It appears that Transdrone is a build of Transdroid with search and RSS removed.
