Cross-platform goodness
Transmission is the thriftmac app of choice for torrents not just because it works well, but also because it has that nice polish Mac users have come to expect. What’s surprising is that this is in spite of it being cross-platform.
For example, take the cross-platform Firefox. For the most part it’s a satisfying alternative among web browsers. But many people prefer Camino, even though it’s built on the same engine, simply because of its more Mac-like appearance.
And then we have Transmission, which manages to supply both Mac beauty and brawn. Theocacao was curious to know how they did it, and has posted an insightful explanation.
