  1. Re:Why is Transmission still alive? on Popular Transmission BitTorrent Client Released For Windows (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    The eMule-style UIs that look like defragmenter software were more useful in the days it took a week to download a movie.

    I second this ^^

  2. Re:Small footprint? on Popular Transmission BitTorrent Client Released For Windows (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    I run Transmission on a server, then access it from a client via web interface. Thus my boat is floated.

    Try rtorrent: text mode and bloat-free to run via ssh :P

    The developer version of Opera now has built-in ad blocking.

    Them's the facts. Or do you want to go back to the time of home-brew computers, and a slew of different architectures and operating systems with software only available on any one particular system in a hit or miss fashion? It was fun, but it was also a bit of a PITA.

    In a word, yes.

    I second this
