boatman9 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have just switched from KDE4 to Gnome and want to try the bittorrent client 'transmission'. Should I get transmission-qt4 or transmission-gtk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillSwift Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 GNOME uses GTK natively, so using the GTK version of the app will have least impact on memory for not having to load new libraries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatman9 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks, that makes sense. I'll use the gtk version with Gnome. Which would be best with KDE4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 $ screen rtorrent Fastest, most efficient and less resource hungry client for *nix. There are also several GUI's for rtorrent (via the xmlrpc server), either purely graphical or web based, but (IMO) the client control via cli and screen is exceptionally easy.

scarecrow Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Ah, OK. Actually Transmission has a cli interface as well, which is neither intuitive, nor multithreaded (you must start a new instance for every new torrent you want to add). pretty much like BitTornado, which starts a new python instance for every torrent added.
