Transmission is a fast, easy, and free BitTorrent client. It comes in several flavors:
- A native macOS GUI application
- GTK+ and Qt GUI applications for Linux, BSD, etc.
- A Qt-based Windows-compatible GUI application
- A headless daemon for servers and routers
- A web UI for remote controlling any of the above

Transmission's documentation is currently out-of-date, but the team has recently begun a new project to update it and is looking for volunteers. If you're interested, please feel free to submit pull requests!
Transmission is fully supported in transmission-remote, the preferred cli client.
Three standalone tools to examine, create, and edit .torrent files exist: transmission-show, transmission-create, and transmission-edit, respectively.
Prior to development of transmission-remote, the standalone client transmission-cli was created. Limited to a single torrent at a time, transmission-cli is deprecated and exists primarily to support older hardware dependent upon it. In almost all instances, transmission-remote should be used instead.
Different distributions may choose to package any or all of these tools in one or more separate packages.
Transmission has an Xcode project file (Transmission.xcodeproj) for building in Xcode.
