For example, when audio files dominate the torrent, select Music directory as default download target. This feature should be configurable.
Together with deselected "Display options dialog" it should be possible to download music from e.g. Jamendo store to the user's Music directory with fewer steps.

rTorrent does this already, in that each monitored torrent directory has a corresponding destination directory.
i.e. Torrent files placed in
torrentwatch/movies will be moved to /media/download/movies
torrentwatch/music will be moved to /media/download/music
etc as defined in the rtorrent configuration file.

Unfinished files are placed in a separate directory until completion, and rtorrent moves the file to the correct directory for seeding when download is complete.


This is currently the only reason why I'm still using rtorrent instead of Transmission.

Add a checkbox to Transmission Preferences under the torrents tab labelled "Pause torrents when on battery power". When checked, all torrents would be paused when the computer is on battery power, and resumed when the computer is plugged back in. The checkbox should only be present when a battery is detected (so that an irrelevant checkbox is not presented to desktop users)

Users should manually quit out of Transmission when using their computer on battery power if they wish to prolong battery life.

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?

When you move mouse over Transmission's tray icon, instead of download speeds, the info window could show the progress of all running downloads.

I'm dreaming of a universal "progress window" that combines the downloads of Transmission, Firefox, Aptitude, the progress of file actions, the burning progress of CD's and others.

This is unrealistic at the moment, as all the developers of those applications and DE's had to work together, but eventually it could become a (Freedesktop?) standard.

It would definitely be nice to have.
