About

Transmission - A Fast, Easy and Free Bittorrent Client For macOS, Windows and Linux

Transmission is designed for easy, powerful use. We've set the defaults to just work and it only takes a few clicks to configure advanced features like watch directories, bad peer blocklists, and the web interface. When Ubuntu chose Transmission as its default BitTorrent client, one of the most-cited reasons was its easy learning curve.

Unlike many cross-platform applications, Transmission integrates seamlessly with your operating system.

The Qt-based Windows UI has been modernized and is fully Windows 11 ready.

Installers · v4.1.2

Architecture	Type	Scope	Install	Download
x86	MSI WiX	machine		Direct
x64	MSI WiX	machine		Direct

Copy a command tailored to that specific architecture, type, and scope - useful when winget would otherwise pick a different default.

Security

No known CVEs for Transmission.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
