Choose the x64 (64-bit) installer for Intel or AMD PCs. The x86 (32-bit) installer is only for 32-bit Windows. The package data states no minimum Windows version, so check the publisher’s system requirements before installing on an older PC. The Universal build runs on both Intel and Apple silicon Macs. This build needs macOS 12 Monterey or later. Choose the x64 (64-bit) download for Intel or AMD computers and the ARM64 download for ARM computers. The Flathub listing states no minimum Linux version or distribution, so check the publisher’s system requirements before installing.

Install with winget: winget install --id Transmission.Transmission --exact

Install with Homebrew: brew install --cask transmission

Install with Flatpak (Flathub): flatpak install flathub com.transmissionbt.Transmission

Check a download: Get-FileHash .\<file> -Algorithm SHA256 (PowerShell) or shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/<file> (Terminal) and compare it with the SHA-256 above.

Linux (Flatpak): Flathub publishes no file checksum; Flatpak checks the app against Flathub’s signed repository when it installs. The ownership of the com.transmissionbt.Transmission app ID has not been verified and it may be a community package. App page on Flathub.

What the installer does

Windows

  • Delivered as a Windows Installer package built with WiX (.msi) for x64 and x86.
  • Installs for all users on the PC, which normally requires administrator rights.
  • No custom silent switch is declared; winget falls back to its default for this installer type (/quiet /norestart).
  • Declared install modes: interactive, silent, and silentWithProgress.
  • Associates with the file type .torrent.
  • Shows up in Windows “Installed apps” as “Transmission 4.1.3 (838877323f)” and “Transmission 4.1.3 (838877323f) (x64)”.
  • Needs these winget packages first: Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x86 and Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64.
  • Upgrades install over the existing version.

Mac

  • Delivered as a disk image (.dmg) for Apple silicon and Intel.
  • Installs the app Transmission.app into the Applications folder.
  • Requires macOS 12 or later.
  • The app updates itself, so it may be newer than the version Homebrew lists.
  • On uninstall, Homebrew asks the app to quit.
  • A full “zap” removal also deletes up to 9 support, cache and preference locations in your home folder.

Linux

  • Delivered as a "flatpak" installer for x64 and ARM64.
  • The manifest does not state an install scope.
  • No silent-install switch is declared in the manifest.

Description

Transmission - A Fast, Easy and Free Bittorrent Client For macOS, Windows and Linux

Transmission is designed for easy, powerful use. We've set the defaults to just work and it only takes a few clicks to configure advanced features like watch directories, bad peer blocklists, and the web interface. When Ubuntu chose Transmission as its default BitTorrent client, one of the most-cited reasons was its easy learning curve.

Unlike many cross-platform applications, Transmission integrates seamlessly with your operating system. The Qt-based Windows UI has been modernized and is fully Windows 11 ready.

Everyversion security commitment

We host no installers. Every download link goes to the download location named in the package listing, normally the publisher’s own server. For this software we downloaded the files from that source ourselves, re-computed each checksum and checked the code signature where our tools could, as shown above. A passing check shows a file is the one that was published; it is not a guarantee it is free of problems. For more information, visit our Security and Trust Center.

Transmission FAQ

Is Transmission safe to download from here?

We host no installers. Every download button goes to the download location named in the package listing, and the checks below were run on those files.

On 2026-11-08 we downloaded the latest 3 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 3 of 3 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 2 valid, 1 not signed.

VirusTotal: none of its 63 security engines flagged any of the 3 scanned files.

Reports exist for 3 of 4 files, so the rating does not cover the rest.

Our rating: Safe so far. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: Transmission’s official website.

Does Transmission update itself after I install an old version?

For Windows, we have no information on whether Transmission updates itself, and for Mac, the app is listed as updating itself, so an older build will likely offer, or simply install, the newest release when you open it. To keep an old version, look for an automatic-update setting in Transmission (see Transmission’s documentation) and turn it off before you rely on it.

Does Transmission cost anything?

No. Transmission is free and open source (license: GPLv3).

Which versions of Transmission are listed here, and how far back?

For Windows, we list 10 versions, from 3.00.0 (2020-05-22) up to 4.1.3, and for Mac, only the current release (4.1.4) is listed, because older Mac builds are not kept in the package listing, and for Linux, we list 1 version, from 4.1.4 (2026-10-24) up to 4.1.4. This page shows all of the Windows versions.

Where do the download links go?

They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: for Windows, to github.com, and for Mac, to github.com, and for Linux, to dl.flathub.org. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: Transmission’s official website.
