Is there something as good as Transmission on Windows?

Post by Ruthy »

Hello
Would first of all like to say that Transmission is by far the best BitTorent i have ever used. But at the moment am running Windows for which there dosn't seem to be a virsion. So was simply wondering if there is anything else out there that would be as good/similar?
Thank you for creating and sharing this wonderful program.

Was just looking at the transmission web client. Is that any good? Can just imagine with firefox left running all the time that it would use up allot of resorces.
It also turns out that Windows 7 ultimate comes with Subsystem for Unix-based Applications, so was wondering if Transmission could be run through that?

Yes, the web client is quite good; I use it everyday :D

In case it's not clear, however, the web-interface is not run by your web-browser, it is run by the the Transmission daemon. Your browser is just the means of controlling it. So, if you can't get the daemon working on your machine, you won't be able to use the web client either.

OK. Thanks for clearing that up.
Have been using utorrent, Transmission is still better though.
Really hope the team can get round to making it for Windows.
