uTorrent has awesome RSS functionality built in. I seem to remember Transmission's being nonexistent. Plus I just generally liked the UI much better. I had both running side by side at one point.
I prefer Transmission's UI for 1, 2 or 3 torrents, but any more than that and the window becomes cluttered. uTorrent is unparalleled in number-of-torrents to memory-footprint ratio (at least, in Windows).
Does transmission let you prioritize files within torrents? I don't remember it doing that, and I love that feature in uTorrent.
Yes it does
Well, doesn't look like this mac release has any RSS functionality at all.
How does RSS help torrents?
I would imagine that one could use the RSS feed directly from utorrent either to automatically download torrents, or to choose torrents to download based on the incoming feed.
Yep.
I download all of the TV I watch that way. Tvrss.net is great.
