What’s the best BitTorrent client for the Mac? Well, I don’t know, but the one I use is Transmission for three simple reasons: it’s rock solid, very small and very easy to bend to my will (i.e. [re]schedule the speed limit). Thereupon, there’s an update available and you should download it.

The lovely lads and laddies of the Transmission Project have announced the immediate availability of Transmission 2.10, which is a fairly significant maintenance update for both the stand-alone and web clients.

Application:
• Support for automatically stopping idle seeding torrents
• Small memory cache to reduce disk IO
• gzip compression support added to the RPC server
• Add support for a cookies.txt file
• Minor CPU optimizations
• Display file sizes and speeds in base 10 on Snow Leopard

Web Client:
• Peer list added to the inspector
• Compact view mode
• Support filtering by active and finished
• Support sorting by size
