VOLUNTEERS WANTED - Qt developers and translators are needed - If you find a bug, please report it at http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ ABOUT TRANSMISSION-QT Transmission-qt is a GUI for Transmission loosely based on the GTK+ client. This is the only Transmission client that can act as its own self-contained session (as the GTK+ and Mac clients do), and can also connect to a remote session (as the web client and transmission-remote terminal client do). Use Case 1: If you like to run BitTorrent for awhile from your desktop, then the Mac, GTK+, and Qt clients are a good match. Use Case 2: If you like to leave BitTorrent running nonstop on your computer or router, and want to control it from your desktop or from a remote site, then transmission-remote and the web and Qt clients are a good match. To use the Qt client as a remote, in the menu go to Edit > Change Session The Qt client is also the most likely to wind up running on Windows, though that's not a high priority at the moment...
