Transmission 2.31 pets - Peer-to-Peer connector
Transmission is a BitTorrent client
5 pets available.
The first 2 need to install libevent version 2.0.11
The next 2 are build with libevent statically linked, so you don't have to install libevent.
In the last one pet are the locales.
All files compiled under puppy 4.3.1 and will work from 4.3.1 and all the later puppies.
1. Transmission-2.31-i486.pet is the full program without the locales.
2. Transmission-2.31-i486-small.pet is a cut-down version with only the basic program.
3. Transmission-2.31-i486-static.pet is the full program without the locales and with libevent statically linked.
4. Transmission-2.31-i486-small-static.pet is a cut-down version with only the basic program and with libevent statically linked.
5. Transmission_NLS-2.31-i486.pet is the package with all the locales (translations).
Thanks to ttuuxxx:
in order to have the option in Firefox and Seamonkey to automatically open the torrent in Transmission you have to go to:
/etc/mailcap
open it and add the line:
application/x-bittorrent; /usr/bin/transmission-gtk "$@"

I believe that definately it should be the smaller one.Lobster wrote:Which one do you think is best for Deep Thought?
The full package has apart from the basic transmission, remote control and web interface mainly. I don't think that they're so usefull features in order to accept their extra weigth. So for Deep Thought I think we should use the small one which just works as a client and if anyone wants to move to the full package he can use the new package transmission-1.50-i486-extras (look at the bottom of the post) which will install everything that is excluded.
Does it work? I don't know why you have seg fault but in my puppy 4.12 all the versions till now work. Do you use a puplet or a cutdown puppy? what does ldd report? Give me something more if it doesn't work in order to help you. Anyway I hope it does work.magerlab wrote:i think transmission needs testing
i can use only 1.22 in puppy 4.1.2 because newer versions seg fault
i hope this one will work fine

1.60 Final released.
Changes form 1.60 Beta1 :
* None
(LOL)
Transmission is a lovely BT client for Linux that gets better and better with each release. But Its featureset is still a far cry from what we're used to have with the *old, outdated* uTorrent 1.6 for Windows.
Transmission neds at least these features::
and the graphs to reach the level of the old version of uT.

Althougth I know that you are not reafering to size rather than the progress of transmission, something else is bothering me lately.
Transmission is very good and with many features but unfortunately is getting bigger and bigger with every release, so sooner or later maybe will have to search for another torrent client and keep transmission as add on pet only. In a sub 100 mb distro I don't think that we can afford the size of transmission anymore. For that reason next time I will make an additional compile with few less features and striped so as to get the least possible size and see if it will have any significant difference.

I have always found that Transmission worked. Pctorrent is in Woof Alpha 9 but whenever I try to use Pctorrent, I end up downloading Transmission.
I do not use bit-torrent enough to comment further. I want easy.
Will transmission be compiled for Woof (Puppy 5)?
Is there something smaller?
Is Pctorrent easy enough for a Lobster to use?
Stay tuned for the next exciting transmission . . .

update
Transmission updated to version 1.70, compiled under 4.1.2 it must work with every puppy 3, 4 and 5(woof).
Thank you rocketgeeezer for your good words that's a support to continue compiling it.
New features:
All Platforms
Distributed hash table (DHT) support for public torrents
Add option for moving and finding a torrent's data on the disk
JSON RPC messages can be ~85% shorter, saving bandwidth and CPU
When available, use the system's copy of libevent instead of building one
Automatically pause torrents when verifying
Fix small bugs and memory leaks
Web Client
Big speed improvements, especially with large torrents
Fix 1.61 bug that broke adding torrents via the web client
Add the ability to upload multiple torrents at once
Torrents added by URL were always paused, regardless of preferences
Comments and announce addresses were cut off in the inspector
The "data remaining" field wasn't updated when the number reached 0
Smaller design adjustments
GTK+
Fix intltool build problem
Make it clearer that the status bar's ratio mode button is a button
Torrent comment box did not scroll, so long comments were partially hidden
New version gave me smaller size executables so I suspect they did a code clean-up.
Propably could make it even smaller by using --disable-nls but I support multilinguality, so such an accion is out of question.
Tried to compile the qt client but even thougth nothing was missing it gave me to many mistakes. I managed to hack the code and overcome couple of them but at the end they were to many. I won't try it again before the next release, so anyone who can is welcomed to contribute.
I see that they are updating also the 1.5+ brunch but I've decided to go on with the leading egde version, except if anyone needs 1.5+.
Any feedback always is welcomed
