transmission is a fast and easy BitTorrent client.
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol which uses a metainfo
file (usually with the .torrent file extension) and a central tracker to
distribute file data amongst a group of peers. For more information on
the BitTorrent protocol see http://www.bittorrent.org/
