I think that it is good, by I am also a big Utorrent fan. As an alternative, I use Ktorrent. This one looks good, but I will try it out and see.

Yes, I use uTorrent as well on Windows. Another torrent client I might look into is Deluge. Perhaps install both Transmission and Deluge and see which you like! Very Happy

+1 for Transmission.

Can't tell you about transmission, but deluge (which I use) is a bandwidth hog, I download at 158 kbs and it will use one half of that and tie up almost all of the rest of my bandwidth.
If this is to be a distro for the masses, the interface LOOKS too simplistic.

I would suggest Deluge for Gnome and KTorrent for KDE.

I've tried many different bittorrent clients, and I'd have to give my vote to Transmission as well. Simple, straightforward. +1.
