< li > Torrent files contain information about the actual file you want to download (eg a movie), and connect you to the swarm of peers sharing it.< / li >

< li > Transmission can watch a certain folder (eg your Safari download folder) for torrent files and then open them automatically via Preferences -> Transfers -> General.< / li >
2007-09-16 01:02:06 +00:00
< li > By default, Transmission deletes the original torrent file upon opening. If you remove a transfer, in order to resume it you will need to reopen the original torrent file in Transmission.
2009-08-06 02:14:28 +00:00
Simply choose 'Save Torrent File As…' from the File menu before deletion to avoid having to download the torrent file again.< / li >

< li > Once your download is complete, you can set a default ratio to automatically seed to, and then pause.
2010-03-25 02:53:24 +00:00
This can be adjusted in Preferences -> Transfers -> Management, or in real time using the Action menu.< / li >
2007-09-16 01:02:06 +00:00
< li > Both seeding and downloading transfers can be queued, and Transmission can skip over stalled transfers, in order to maximise queuing efficiency.
2010-03-25 02:53:24 +00:00
Queuing can be configured in Preferences -> Transfers -> Management.< / li >
