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. So.. (I tested Transmission myself later; the client promptly froze for me. At first Compiz was blamed, but after I repeated the same with Metacity, the thread got really quiet) On Feb 5, 2008 7:37 PM, Remco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, I'm new here, > > I would like to comment on the decision to make Transmission the > default bittorrent client in Hardy.
