Talk:Transmission (BitTorrent client)

message: I reverted, however removed 'alleged' - a POV slipup on my part. This is only affecting the small proportion of users who are using said banned trackers. Whether or not it is a problem is up for debate given that two parties have offered differing opinions on the matter. Thus, why should it take up such a large proportion of the article (as it did in the previous edit)? This is an encyclopaedia, not a place to air grievances. At this rate, we'll have an essay on the merits of announce times, with footnotes from the forum thread to boot! Fight your battles in the appropriate places.Suicup 14:21, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The current license (below) indicates that only portions of Transmission are licensed under the MIT license, the rest under a modified GPL v2 license. As such, the MIT-license portions cannot run without the GPL portions, so the project should probably just be classified as using a modified GPL v2 license.
The OS X client, CLI client, and parts of libtransmission are licensed
under the terms of the MIT license.
The Transmission daemon, GTK+ client, Qt client, Web client, and most of
libtransmission are licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL version 2,
with two special exceptions:
  1. The MIT-licensed portions of Transmission listed above are exempt
     from GPLv2 clause 2(b) and may retain their MIT license.
  2. Permission is granted to link the code in this release with the
     OpenSSL project's 'OpenSSL' library and to distribute the linked
     executables.  Works derived from Transmission may, at their authors'
     discretion, keep or delete this exception.
:Agreed. I’ve changed the article accordingly. Ahruman (talk) 12:09, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Does anyone think that it would be a good idea to start a section on iTransmission (the iDevice BitTorent client)? Apparently it uses the same source code as Transmission.

message: The code has been moved to Github, yet the repository URL in the infobox points to their old TRAC. I haven't found out how to change the URL :S. Orgyn (talk) 13:00, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Right you are. Took me a while to figure it out. ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_software mentions for the "repo" parameter: "In the absence of this parameter, infobox attempts to acquire the repository link from Wikidata. This parameter overrides the Wikidata link" so I looked for the Wikidata page for Transmission and made the change there: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q875055&diff=534118409&oldid=531075764 I wonder how long it takes for the change to affect the Wikipedia article… Robby.is.on (talk) 16:57, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
