NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       transmission-qt is a fast and easy BitTorrent client.

       BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol which uses a metainfo file (usually with the .torrent
       file  extension)  and  a  central  tracker  to  distribute  file  data amongst a group of peers. For more
       information on the BitTorrent protocol see http://www.bittorrent.org/
