Popular Transmission BitTorrent Client Released For Windows (thenextweb.com)
An anonymous reader quotes an article on The Next Web: Transmission, one of the most popular BitTorrent clients for OS X and Linux, has finally arrived on Windows after roughly a decade in existence. The open-source file sharing app, developed by volunteers and available without ads for free, boasts a small footprint (about 25MB on Windows), support for encryption, a Web interface so you can control it through your browser, as well as the ability to set different speed limits for individual torrents. The current version isn't yet being actively promoted -- to download it, you'll need to head to Transmission's download directory page.
uTorrent also has a web interface. So does qbittorrent.
I'm trying to find ONE reason to use Transmission instead of any other torrent client currently available for Windows... can't find any.

uTorrent bundles crapware or spyware with updates, so it's to be considered to be actively user hostile.
Contrary to the good old Windows 98/XP days we can't trust freeware for everything these days, so get an open source torrent client.
The two I know best are Transmission and Deluge.
Transmission was already available as unofficial transmission-qt build
After adding malware support, windows support seems like a good next step.

True, but damn it works rather well; it's one of the initial packages I install whenever I find myself with a new Mac.
