Transmission, alternative Linux à µTorrent (uTorrent)

Mis à jour le 18 octobre 2026

Notre avis

Transmission is a solid, honest replacement for uTorrent on Linux. It handles standard torrents and magnet links with low resource usage, matching uTorrent's lightweight footprint but without the adware or bundled miners. You get queue management, system tray integration, and a clean GTK interface. It lacks some advanced uTorrent features like built-in RSS feeds or complex scheduling, but for general peer-to-peer downloading, it is reliable and open-source. If you want a no-nonsense BitTorrent client that respects your system, Transmission is the standard choice.

Ouvrir vos fichiers µTorrent (uTorrent)

Transmission fully supports opening standard .torrent files and magnet links directly. You can import your existing library of .torrent files by dragging them into the application or using the Add Torrent menu. Transmission does not use a proprietary project file format for state, so you do not need to migrate any internal configuration files from uTorrent. You simply point Transmission to your existing download directories to resume previous transfers if the peers are still available.

Questions fréquentes

Is Transmission as fast as uTorrent?

Transmission uses µTP and PEX for efficient peer connections, which generally provides speeds comparable to uTorrent. Actual speed depends on peer availability and your network, not the client itself.

Can I manage downloads remotely?

Yes, Transmission includes a Web UI that allows you to add torrents and monitor progress from a browser on another device, provided the daemon is running.

Does it have ads or trackers?

No. Transmission is open-source and contains no advertising, telemetry, or bundled software. It is a clean, privacy-respecting client.
