Using the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file sharing protocol is highly recommended, especially when dealing with large file archives. Transmission is a BitTorrent desktop client for Mac OS X that comprises a plethora of useful download management tools. The minimalist and intuitive design makes Transmission extremely easy to use even by inexperienced users: the downloads can be triggered by simple drag and drop actions, and the app takes care of the rest. On the other hand, Transmission includes flexible customization options that will certainly improve the overall experience for power users.

Transmission is an open source, volunteer-based project. Unlike some BitTorrent clients, Transmission doesn't play games with its users to make money:

Transmission doesn't bundle toolbars, pop-up ads, flash ads, twitter tools, or anything else.
It doesn't hold some feaures back for a payware version.
Its source code is available for anyone to review.
We don't track our users, and our website and forums have no third-party ads or analytics.


Transmission on macOS is a truly native and polished experience. This isn't some cross-platform app that treats macOS as an afterthought. With a sleek and simple interface, Transmission meets or exceeds Apple UI standards while using native features.
v4.0 is Apple Silicon Native!
