Welcum, flannelking, to answer your question, no Transmission is strictly BT. ED2k needs to run for a while before you get the hang of it, once you start building a good ratio in your client, things pretty much run themselves. I don't know any other ed2k mods for mac, but there are hundreds for pc. Helps if you leave it running in at least 12 hour+ sessions. Don't let the port fowarding scare and frighten you either (it does for some
), and yes it is much slower overall than BT but theres a larger file database thats easily accessed through the client which is a major plus. (I know in BT you can search rss feeds though, similar)
