I think the best solution is to leave blocklists as they currently are, disabled by default and without a popup dialog.

But *if* making the blocklist more prominent is a popular idea, IMO turning turning it on by default is closer to Transmission's "Just Works" design than a popup dialog. Many first-time users won't know what a blocklist is, and that's not the first thing they should see when starting Transmission.

Like torrents could optionally be grouped together in folders. These folders would have their own priority selector and statistics much as a torrent groups the files within it. Folders would be added from the Torrent menu, branched from "+Add":

Torrents
+Add
Torrent
Folder

It'll be great to implement easier sorting in Transmission download list.

Now this option is available only in "View" menu, which is not very obvious.

Sort options must be choosen with right-click.

Such features that are only needed by few users (like folders, ability to stop seeding after reaching needed ratio, etc. ) can be implemented as Add-ons, like in Firefox.

Transmission should include option to (or automatically) stop downloading when disk is filling up. leave at least 100 MB or so.

Bring back colour-coding or provide another at-a-glance way to distinguish downloading from seeding torrents.

Allow torrents to be labelled and/or categorised and have bandwidth restriction schedules apply differently to each label or category.
This could be as simple as have a 'peak' and 'off peak' schedules in place and then being able to categorise each torrent as either 'peak', 'off-peak' or 'unrestricted'. During peak time when adding or changing a torrent to 'off peak' it was stay paused or restricted. When off-peak time comes around, any 'off peak' torrents would start and download according to the relevant bandwidth restriction until the end of off-peak time at which point they pause again.
Conversely, adding an item with 'peak' category would work the same but during peak time and not off-peak time.
Furthermore, the unrestricted category would be treated as 'peak' in peak time and 'off peak' in off peak time.

This is the simple implementation, a further step would be to allow custom labels set up by the user (i.e. don't restrict just to peak and off peak) and for each label, a custom bandwidth schedule can be set.

Preferred client in all Ubuntu systems should have more options, be pluginable, but still light, powerfull as Ktorrent. All Ktorrent like advanced options, plus new features, options, like hide to tray by default, auto updater with options of time limit of available peers, advanced update torrent finder from internet, looking for more trackers ... Many options, like in another idea underneath, migration function, users community and favorite torrent and download list. Let it be most by community used download manager for everything. Online and Live activities, logging, user interaction ...

Transmission have a great interface only for download/upload bittorrents. The same interface can be used for direct downloads (from firefox, ftp, ssh...), move/copy local files, p2p downloads...

In resume, we can use Transmission to unify all tasks referents to move information, including burning CD/DVD...

Using Transmission as prefered torrent application is easy. But many users are installing Ktorrent for Gnome environment as well. We should be able to link Transmission to Ktorrent engine, use it's options for better downloading. In menu, there should be an link to transfer settings to Ktorrent and vice versa, so transfering files and settings to Ktorrent and continue downloading files in another software vice versa would be easy. By transfering torrent, files and settings, updating preferences, first migrated software should be automatically closed.

Number 2 is right. Light download manager should do more, than others and still be light, but powerfull. Somehow, we are forgetting other download technologies, like Jigdo, Overnet. Always but have to install them to use in the main system. We should implement them too. Linux was always good, because, what i could not find in Windows, that was defenitively in linux. Good point. Somehow we are forgeting older technologies. Implement all other download techniques into Transmission, and we will be number one. Promise. Why should use one milion programs to download just one file, when Transmission is already in the system?

I know Transmission is supposed to be a light BitTorrent client (otherwise one should head towards Deluge or something), but I think this is a small implementation that will add to its feature list without hindering performance.
