Transmission 1.21 and GIMP 2.4.6 Have Arrived in Sid

Filed under: BitTorrent, Debian, Gimp — tuxicity @ 11:25 am

Todays updates in Debian Sid provided me with the latest stable version of Transmission and Gimp.

Transmission is the BitTorrent client I use; its light, fast and easy to use. Gimp has proven itself and needs no further comment.

Transmission is maturing.

Transmission is a non-intrusive torrent client which works the Gnome way : Downloading and sharing torrents without bells and whistles.

As an Ubuntu Feisty user I downloaded the latest stable transmission with Firefox from getdeb.net and let GDebi install it.

BitTorrent / uTorrent, open source?

Filed under: BitTorrent, Open Source — tuxicity @ 5:53 am

After the recent announcement by BitTorrent Inc that it has acquired the popular, lightweight Windows torrent client, µTorrent, there has been much speculation about the company making the source code of µTorrent public.
