GUI frontends to access the daemon?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I have just upgraded from a Vista machine to a Mac (is it an upgrade?) anyhow loving the interface etc. The gripe I have at the moment is that my hacked MyBookWorld has a transmission daemon installed, and I has a program called transmission-remote-dotnet-3.12-installer. With this I could connect to my NAS and use it as if it was on my PC.
I am looking for a Mac Snow Leopard version of this if anyone could help me.
Thanks In Advance
Ump..

You have several options:
- The Web client, which is built-in the daemon;
- The Qt application, it comes with the transmission sources but you have to build it.
The Qt app can be used stand alone or to monitor and control a daemon (or both ways or with several daemons).
The difference, besides the obvious that the Web client is already built (with the daemon), is in functionality. The Qt app is probably closer to the .Net app; I haven't used the .Net app so I don't really know.
Also take into consideration that the Qt app is beta (testing), it works fine on Linux, works half-way on Windows, don't know how it works on Mac... so there are bugs, like the app dying (in Windows) if you delete several torrents.

W00t?
If my description sounded negative, sorry, it wasn't meant to be negative. Both, the Web client and the Qt app, work fine; I use the Qt app all the time... its not perfect is all I meant to warn.

Works on OSX as well as windows, I like it better than the dot net one.

Just out of perverse curiosity, could someone post a screenshot of this running on OS X? I'm kind of curious how it looks...

Looks almost the same, it is a bit buggy under osx (seems to have problems in snow leapard) vs windows but it works well enough.

I'll post you a pic if you tell me how to do it. I'm on Snow leopard, and it is buggy compared to my windows version, I have found out that you need to quit it from the top menu or it wont run more than once. I like the web menu and use that more, but there are some settings that you cant do from the nas or web interface that this program lets you do more easy.

Ya, it seemed to work better under plain Leopard... Maybe post some bug reports to the devs page... I tend to switch between, my Windows PC, iPhone (web UI) and my mac a lot. I hadn't noticed the Mac OS problem because I only recently recently updated to Snow Leopard.
