I try to start a transfer but nothing happens…
any idea as to why transmission launches when I open double click a .torrent and the transfer does not start – it doesn’t even show up on the list.?

I would like to know how one can change the interface so I can get “list view” instead of what I have now. Reason for this is using remote desktop, vnc or screen sharing which I use a lot goes smother and since I have over 200 torrent’s running almost all the time, list view and scrollbar on the side in the interface would help a lot. Thank you.

Salut,
Je veux lire le tutoriel mais l’affichage comporte des symboles comme un losange avec un ? qui remplace le “é” et dans un autre temps ils sont remplacées par un “?”
Que faire?

merci

Hello,
I download the application but my system is 10.4.11 and it says that this applicatio doesn’t function with my system who is PowerPC G4.
Have you a solution?

Thank you

I don’t think I’ve changed anything about Transmission, but it has started automatically pausing all of my transfers. Any suggestions?

The new transmission is slower with downloads and often loses connections.

Hi, I googled .torrent downloads and got http://www.fastdownloadarchive.com/sign-up and I had to sign up first. Looks like limewire is easier to search and download files but it doesn’t work on my Tiger.

Do you guys have to sign up accounts before you can download .torrent files?

well explain Alejandro, so far with the new Snow Leo I think it even works better, faster. maybe I am just so glad that I have transmission and snow leo on my MAC.
by the way people, ya know your MAC can be voiced activated.

.torrent files are the torrents you search for online… you download to your computer, and then you open with transmission.
Quite simple. The .torrent file has the routing for the file you want, and tells transmission where to search for it.
to download files just search for .torrent download and drag the files downloaded to this app.

I’m also confused about step 3. Can you please email me about how to find torrents??
Thanks.
Love the instructions, simple and easy to follow…I’m sure I’ll understand it once I figure out step 3!!!

ira,
i was one too until recently and i am still going to school to learn all about the MAC OS X system and ADOBE CS4 programs.
it is very easy to use Trans and the best so far to download files.
you need to choose a torrent site then choose the file you want to download like a movie, music, etc.
do you have transmission as default to download your files?. if you do, as soon you select the file you want to download and click on it, few seconds later trans. will open up, you look at the open file and click on ADD and trans will start downloading and uploading the file.
Take few tries, but it is not complicated at all.
do not forget to SEED!
