"Transmission is a fast, easy, and free multi-platform BitTorrent client with a focus on being lightweight yet feature-filled."
I propose we replace, in the default installation, the packages gnome-btdownload with transmission-gtk. I think Transmission is very user friendly, and currently is the perfect choice of BitTorrent client for the Gnome Desktop. The Gtk+ client has a well-designed and simple user interface. Fedora 8 ships transmission-gtk on their LiveCD and probably on the default Gnome Desktop installation too. For Mac OSX users Transmission is already the BitTorrent Client of choice. Transmission[1] is an actively developed project, you can read more about it on the dedicated wikipedia article[2]. The packages are in the official repositories, so fi you're interested, just install the packages with the command: sudo apt-get install transmission-gtk Users of Hardy Heron will be installing version 1.0 of Transmission, released this month. Users of Ubuntu 7.10 will be running a earlier version 0.72, most similar to what ships in Fedora 8. So, I would like to hear back from you guys. Your opinions and concerns. For Ubuntu developers: Upstream uses Trac[3] for all the development tracking. Ubuntu is currently taking Debian's source packages[4] with no changes.
