DESCRIPTION

11     transmission-qt is a fast and easy BitTorrent client.

13     BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol which uses a metainfo
14     file (usually with the .torrent file extension) and a central tracker to
15     distribute file data amongst a group of peers.  For more information on
16     the BitTorrent protocol see http://www.bittorrent.org/
