De ontwikkelaars van Transmission hebben woensdag versie 1.41 van hun gelijknamige programma uitgebracht en deze wegens een vervelende bug meteen op laten volgen door 1.42. Transmission is een lichtgewicht platformonafhankelijke opensource-Bittorrent-client met een eenvoudige interface. Het programma is ontwikkeld voor gebruik onder Mac OS X, maar op de downloadpagina zijn ook versies voor Linux, Solaris en Netbsd, Freebsd en Openbsd te vinden.
