About this app
Transmission is a powerful yet extremely lightweight and fast BitTorrent client. It has the features you want from a BitTorrent client: encryption, a web interface, peer exchange, magnet links, DHT, µTP, UPnP and NAT-PMP port forwarding, webseed support, tracker editing, global and per-torrent speed limits, and more.
This application is a port of the Transmission daemon for Android complemented with the following features:
⚫ Manage downloads directly from the application.
⚫ Multiple watch/download directories.
⚫ Support for HTTP(S)/SOCKS proxy.
⚫ WiFi/Ethernet mode to save on mobile data.
⚫ Allowed WiFi SSIDs - if configured, the service is running only if connected to the specified networks.
⚫ Keep CPU/WiFi awake to complete all downloads before the device goes to sleep.
⚫ Sequential download allows playing media files while downloading.
⚫ Open .torrent files or torrent/magnet URLs and stream the selected files to a media player.
⚫ Builtin UPnP MediaServer. Download media files to a phone/tablet/TV-box and watch on a TV or another UPnP compatible media player connected to the same network.
⚫ M3U playlists for all torrents/folders containing audio/video files. To get the playlist URL - long click on the play icon.
⚫ Alternative web interface - Transmission Web Control
The daemon is running as a background service. To communicate with the daemon remotely you may either use the built-in WEB interface or any Transmission remote of choice.
For more details please refer to the official site of the Transmission Project - https://transmissionbt.com .
Known issues and limitations:
⚫ The daemon may hang for a few minutes when preallocating space for large files. See details here - https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/1753. To avoid this issue it's recommended to use a Linux native file system, for example ext4. Migration to NTFS may also help, but it depends on the system.
⚫ The "Allowed WiFi SSIDs" feature requires the location permissions to be granted, otherwise the application will not be able to get the WiFi SSID.

It's Transmissions for Android what else could you need. It's a million times better than the ad fest of other clients and it's open source. Honestly if transmissions wasn't available for Android I just wouldn't use a torrent client on Android at all considoring how bad the others are. It's clean and simple the way it's meant to be.

Magnet links do not work at all, you can add them and they get stuck on retrieving metadata. The app shows almost nothing about the torrent, just progress and speed. For more information (peers, trackers) you need to go to the web version, and most configuration options can only be done in the web version. This app could be just 3 buttons: start web version, quit and select download folder (easier in the app, in the web you have to type the full path on the keyboard).

I used to use Transmission on my Linux system since even today it's the default torrent client for many distros and is preinstalled. However quality wise the clients hasn't improved much. And this Android version is not something I would recommend. Nowadays most torrent sites rely on magnet links. The Android version appears to struggle with magnet links immensely and I haven't had a single instance when it worked right away. Normally I have to retry over and over again regardless of whether I am using LTE, WiFi or what not type of network. With your typical torrent files it works without a problem. In terms of UI I never liked the clear difference there is between the client's standard UI and the web-based on - plain lack of consistency. REPLY to comment to my review: Enabling proxy is something I don't need (and should not be needed). If I use qbittorent on my desktop to save the magnet link as a torrent file and transfer it to my phone, Transmission works with it as expected.
