Update (11/4/08) : Qwerty has made a newer 1.34 build for Diablo and put it in diablo extras if you prefer obtaining from maemo repos. Just enable the extras repo within your application manager, and 'Browse installable applications' to find it

------------------------
I have compiled Transmission for OS2008 and OS2007. The original project website is : http://transmission.bt.com/

Looks great and has nice progress bars and multiple simultaneous downloads. You can get information on any download and see all kinds of statistics and even a 'piece availability' graph.

I would suggest using it on less expensive sd cards until real world tests determine prolonged effects.

Also, it looks like transmission will be the default bittorrent client for Ubuntu probably for its simplicity and because it works well and is pretty fast.

---------
NOTE : Diablo OS Update (so far) seems to have fixed the network dropping issue. This new firmware seems to cause even old versions to run without disconnects. Hopefully this holds true over time and applies to other applications like openshh as well.

Last Update 9/03 (Diablo build of 1.33) :
Upstream changelog

[Diablo users should grab rev27 build here] :
http://wardenclyffetower.com/MaemoFi....rev27.all.deb

[OS2008 users should grab rev25 build here] :
http://wardenclyffetower.com/MaemoFi...nook.rev25.deb

[OS2007 users should grab rev24 build here] :
http://wardenclyffetower.com/MaemoFi...bora.rev24.deb
----------

Note : You'll have to save torrent and then open it with Transmission.
Note : Downloading large files might freeze up for a min or so at first, while initializing file space.
Note : You can get the web browser to automatically open torrents in transmission by using dbus-switchboard utility here

Advanced users can download the extra command line utilities (proxy, daemon, remote, and cli) which i did not test or include in installer, from tar here (Updated to Version 1.04 source release) :

This is a photoshop which is pixel for pixel perfect for what you'd see if you actually downloaded these files :
