Successfully completed the third Tutor Marked Assignment, and really enjoyed this one. Managing Networks has always interested me and I do enjoy managing my network at home. I am really pleased with the result from this TMA … =)

Following on from my post late last year, there is another excellent BitTorrent client for the GNOME Desktop, and that is Deluge. To be honest with you  I had a few issues with Transmission and download speed. These issues were resolved instantly by Deluge, and I have been using this as my preferred BitTorrent Client for several months now.

Currently at version 1.1.7 it should service all your BitTorrent needs (emerge -av deluge). The only negative I have with this application is that of high CPU usage.

Update: The high CPU usage has been resolved with version 1.1.8, seems it was due to displaying the torrent speeds on the title bar of the main application window. So either upgrade to 1.18 or disable this option within the configuration options window.

Update: Another good feature of this application is the ability to import block lists into it, such as the level1.gz from http://blocklistpro.com/. This helps reduce nasties connecting to you while you are downloading your favourite Linux Distribution (Gentoo Minimal x86 / Gentoo LiveCD i686).
