Torrent client for 10.4 PPC

[roadbloc]

utorrent for PPC is almost one which supports LFS. What about another?

Transmission-qt doesn't seem to have an issue with large files. Works just fine.

Both versions had a problem with file ~8 gb:
- Mac OS X 10.5 PPC (Leopard) - Transmission 2.22
- Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) - Transmission 1.54

Not Transmission. Transmission-qt.

I downloaded a 13GB file using 1.54 at the weekend, no problems.

2.20 is the last one to support PowerPC, just don't allow it to self-update. http://www.oldapps.com/mac/transmission.php?old_transmission=64

(My bad, didn't realize this had already been posted earlier in the thread. Would delete this post if I could but not sure how?)

Found 2.84 for PPC recently via comments on this page http://ppcluddite.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/updated-transmission-for-tiger.html

Transmission 1.54 as noted earlier, was the last version to support 10.4.11 Tiger on PPC. There is a build called Transmission-qt 2.31 which does work on Tiger.

Transmission 2.22 was the last to work on PPC 10.5.8.
Transmission 2.84 was the last to work on Intel 10.6.8.

I don’t know, and I have never run into it before.

I use Transmission-qt 2.31 for my key lime clamshell. It’s rougher than, say, 2.22 for Leopard, but it does the job.

There’s now a MG repository for earlier versions of Transmission.

With due respect, this isn’t terribly helpful, as the only function the PPCAppStore offers is a redirect to the Transmission site, which lacks Transmission-qt 2.31 for Tiger PPC. Though present now, there is no assurance legacy versions posted on Transmission’s own site will remain there in perpetuity.

Does Transmisson-qt 2.31 support magnet links?

 

[B S Magnet]

Does Transmisson-qt 2.31 support magnet links?

Yes, it does. They’re added via the same Cmd-U command used with other versions of Transmission.

Sometimes it will display an initial "tracker error" notification for the magnet, but it will still find peers to retrieve the magnet metadata and to begin the torrent.

Thanks for sharing the key combo shortcut! I couldn't figure it out ha!

Hi!

Transmission QT is not present in the PPCAppStore. However to get the Tiger version of a software in my store, you MUST use a mac with Tiger! If you use Leopard, the store will download the latest Leopard version for you. If you use Snow Leopard the store will download the SL version if present, if not, the Leopard version. For all other operating systems, the store will not download anything and inform you.

Have a nice day
