My initial reaction was similar. However, in transmissions favor *Memory usage* (quick test) Deluge at 23 Mb Transmission at 7 Mb
The interface also seems more transitional from the previous integrated client. I think one of the big factors is that deluge has a wizard to get you setup while transmission just works. You also can't argue with file size: Transmission: About 1 Mb Deluge: About 13 Mb Don't get me wrong I think Deluge is a better (more powerful, more extendable) bittorrent client, and most likely better tested as well. However, transmission is going to be easier for first time torrent users, and that's what I think matters for the default Ubuntu CD. -Bryan On Feb 5, 2008 8:20 PM, Vadim Peretokin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Deluge is more popular, checking with the sample given from > popcon.ubuntu.com. > > If I remember right, Transmission was chosen over Deluge because the devs > thought both had similar features, but Deluge had an option to > password-protect the tray in some tab under preferences, which someone > didn't like.
