torana355 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Ok i was using Transmission till the U Torrent for mac beta came out which at the time had much faster downloads. I just recently got an update for Transmission (1.6) and i thought i would do a few back to back tests to see if Transmission had gotten any faster. To my surprise after 6 back to back tests the new Transmission was constantly getting 3mb/s while the most U Torrent could get was 1.8mb/s. I am now thinking about switching back to Transmission, has anyone else done any tests lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOneButMe Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 There are far too many variables that affect speed of a torrent, the client being used is the least important of those. Are your ports forwarded on both? Firewall? etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Transmission 1.6 may be better than Mac uTorrent ALPHA at the moment...but stick around for a little while and that will certainly change. Transmission probably still sucks for uploading in large swarms...last I heard (v1.51) it still had no upload slot limits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hluver Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I would go with uTorrent being better, even at this stage of its development.Transmission is OK, but the GUI is old style and as above, large swarm torrenting with it sucks big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hluver Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Not yet. I will do though. Transmission seems to devour memory.Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Lack of proper upload slot control is a WELL-KNOWN problem to the developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hluver Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Yeah, I checked their forums and there is a 20 page thread on it.They have just updated to 1.7 and still the problems remain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
