4. Technical Description:
    4.1. Details:

       Transmission is a GTK-based BitTorrent client with a focus on being
       lightweight yet feature-filled. Transmission strikes a balance between
       providing useful functionality without feature bloat. Transmission 
       uses a smaller amount of system resources than many other BitTorrent
       clients such as Vuze.

       Transmission provides the following features:

         * Selective downloading and file prioritizing
         * Encrypted peer connections
         * Torrent file creation
         * Peer exchange (compatible with Vuze and μTorrent)
         * Automatic port mapping (using UPnP/NAT-PMP)
         * Fast Resume - with peer caching
         * Dynamically bans bad peers, and can use an IP blocklist
         * Single listening port for all torrents
         * Global/individual bandwidth caps
         * Sorting/filtering options
         * HTTPS tracker support

    4.2. Bug/RFE Number(s):

       None.
