Transmission-qt

[Lutgarda Briseno]

Im using a up-to-date system running SliM/Xfce4. After the recent update of transmission-qt from 2.81-1 to 2.82-1, the tray icon is gone from my notification area. Downgrading to 2.81-1 and the tray icon appears. I rebuild the 2.82-1 package locally, but the tray icon don't appear. I also tried to re-enable the tray option in transmission, no effect. I can confirm the behaviour on a second similar system. Running transmission-gtk 2.82-1 on both system will display the icon correctly, so it seems to be a qt(-version) related problem.

The upstream change notes of 2.82 do not mention any tray icon reference, and I couldn't find anything related in the bug trackers.

Before I fill a new bug report, I would like to confirm this by other people, or maybe solve it somehow.

I can't get GTK to work correctly. Some applications, including transmission-gtk, don't like the Xfce-4.6 theme (ever thought it supports gtk2 and 3) that comes with Xfce4 and fall back to their ugly default. I like that theme but couldn't find anything similar that works. So I use the Qt version to prevent that eye cancer. I know the reason is somewhat stupid, but that's how it is. It only seems to effect a few GTK applications, avidemux-gtk e.g. looks fine.

I have been toying around with Transmission settings on my MycloudDL4100 and found an issue where the system does not seem to take any of the settings I apply. I have transmission installed directly in the Apps folder within the myCloud UI. I am accessing Transmission via the transmission-qt in windows.

Transmission is a BitTorrent client which features a variety of user interfaces on top of a cross-platform back-end. Transmission is free software licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, with parts under the MIT License.[6]

Transmission allows users to quickly download files from multiple peers on the Internet and to upload their own files.[7] By adding torrent files via the user interface, users can create a queue of files to be downloaded and uploaded. Within the file selection menus, users can customise their downloads at the level of individual files. Transmission also seeds, that is, it will automatically share downloaded content.[8]

Transmission 1.60 and later removed support for Mac OS X v10.4. Currently, Transmission 1.54 is the last version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4. Although it is possible to compile later versions from source, either by downloading from the project's website[17] or using a package manager like Fink or MacPorts, it is unsupported and any bugs specific to 10.4 will not be fixed. Starting with Transmission 2.30[18] an Apple Mac with an Intel CPU is needed; PowerPC-based systems are no longer supported natively. Since Transmission 4.0, Apple Silicon is supported as well.[19]

The Transmission back-end (libTransmission) also serves as the basis of the Transmission daemon. The daemon supports a web front-end called Clutch. Older versions have been ported to form the basis of the update system for the video game Metal Gear Online on PlayStation 3,[20][21] as well as the backend for ImageShack's BitTorrent service.

There are several transmission clients for different operating systems including Unix-like, macOS and BeOS/ZETA. Each operating system front-end is built using native widget toolkits.[6] For example, transmission-gtk uses the GTK interface, transmission-qt the Qt interface, and transmission-cli a command-line interface. Transmission-remote-cli is an ncurses interface for the transmission-daemon. Python-transmissionrpc is a Python module implementing the JSON-RPC protocol for Transmission.

An unofficial port of Transmission using a command-line interface (CLI) on iOS was accomplished on 3 March 2008.[23] In November 2010, iTransmission, another unofficial port, was released for jailbroken iPhones sporting a GUI that is capable of downloading directly to the device over WiFi or 3G.[24] A Transmission remote was released for Android, with the name of Transdroid but does not currently support downloading directly to devices.[25]

On Windows, Transmission-Qt can be built with MinGW,[26] the daemon and console tools can be built with Cygwin,[27] also there are two third-party GUIs: transmission-remote-dotnet[28] and Transmission Remote GUI,[29] as well as unofficial full builds of Transmission's Qt Client.[30][31] There is also an unofficial full build of Transmission daemon which can be run as a Windows service.[32] This same unofficial full build of Transmission daemon running as a Windows service can be used for direct streaming of the downloading file(s).[33]

It is also ported to the Maemo OS of the Nokia N810 internet tablet and N900 smartphone as well as to the MeeGo/Harmattan OS of the Nokia N9 and N950 smartphones, on which it does download the torrents to the device.

In March 2016, Palo Alto Networks reported that Transmission's official website was compromised and tainted .dmg files were uploaded to the site, using an Apple Developer signature to bypass the OS X gatekeeper feature.[35][36][37]

The tainted packages installed a ransomware application (a variant of Linux.Encoder.1, but recompiled for Mac, known as KeRanger) that encrypts the user's files and attempts to force users to pay 1 Bitcoin (worth roughly US$404 at the time of the attack) in order to get the decryption pack. The Transmission website advised Mac users to immediately upgrade to a new version that removes the malware-infected file. Apple revoked the developer certificate that was used to sign the tainted package, and added the package's signature to the XProtect anti-malware system.

CNET editor Paul Huges praised Transmission for its "simplicity, lightweight, as well as being feature-packed" and as of April 2017 the software ranked third in P2P downloads for Mac on CNET.[46][47]
