transmission-daemon-cygwin

Feb. 7, 2019

Transmission is a respected Fast, Easy, and Free BitTorrent Client, as from their site https://transmissionbt.com/about

Unofficial Windows build runs perfect either Windows service or daemon.

32 bit and 64 bit versions.
32 (runs everywhere), 64 only 64-bit Windows.

Decision made to maintain choice 2.7x core rather than somewhat buggy 2.8x-2.9x cores. That's why you will see infrequent and less bug fixes than official branches. All the features of 2.8x-2.9x (except rename). Run this solid 2.77+ port for extended days, it doesn't crash or lock. Prime for seedbox use.

The included remote GUI port is fine tuned to the daemon released here.

Temporary piece support. https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/532 plus many featured enhancements! Tested, stable enhancements users requested.

Specifically modified and bug tested for Linux GCC and Windows (cygwin gcc/g++) compilers.

Current release 14734-18 020619

The official release of transmission just sucks on Windows, this one is perfect!

It's best one for torrents for Windows. There be an install help in the discussion. Freeware, no adds or spam. Sources are on his github accounts. GUI controls powerhouse daemon clean and easy.

This not infected with keyRange virus like 2.90 official sources. Here is clean and very excellent. Does streaming to media player, only this transmission bittorrent from here does it. Support is best. New release fixed for me to asynchronous I/O settings choosing. The daemon is no longer frezzing.
