What is iTransmission?

iTransmission is a feature-reach BitTorrent client designed specifically for iOS devices. It uses the same backend as Transmission on macOS, making it a reliable and powerful tool for downloading torrents on your iPhone or iPad. This is one of the best torrent apps for iOS.

Despite not receiving updates since 2016, iTransmission has proven to work stable and reliable on the latest iOS devices, including iOS 14, iOS 15, and iOS 16. You can install the iTransmission IPA package on the latest Palera1n and XinaA15 jailbreaks released for iOS 15 – iOS 15.7.1.

This is torrent client for iOS that allows you to easily download torrent files using magnet links or direct URLs to torrent files. In addition to these core features, the app also includes a range of useful tools and features, such as a built-in web browser. The app's built-in web browser allows you to easily search for and access a wide range of torrent websites directly from within the app, saving you the hassle of switching between apps or using a separate web browser.

When you add a torrent file to iTransmission, the app provides information about the file's progress and status. View the name and size of the downloaded file, but you can also see the number of connected peers, the actual download and upload speed, and download progress.

You can view even more detailed information about the file by tapping on the torrent in the app. The torrent details page displays the file hash value, a comment added by the creator, the app used to generate the torrent file, an option to copy the magnet URL, and a list of all included files. You can also edit trackers, recheck data, pause downloads, and set bandwidth settings such as maximum peer connections and speed limits for download and upload.

iTransmission for iOS includes a preferences pane available from the apps' main screen with options to enable background downloading, set port listening, configure maximum and global connections per torrent, and set recommended upload and download limits for all torrents.

One of the key design goals of iTransmission is to use as little memory as possible while running in the background. iTransmission is compatible with all devices running iOS 9 through iOS 16, on both non-jailbreak and jailbroken devices. I'm using it on a stock iOS 15 iPhone.

Although it has not been updated in recent years, iTransmission remains a reliable BitTorrent app for iOS. If you're looking for an alternative, you might consider iTorrent, a free BitTorrent client for iOS 13 – iOS 15 that offers similar features to download torrents on your iOS device.

iTransmission is an open-source project from Beecher Adams that is free to distribute and modify under the GNU General Public License v3.0. You can find the source code for the project on the GitHub Repository, where the latest updates were made on March 14, 2019.

This torrent client for iOS was primarily written in C, but it also includes some elements written in C++ and Objective-C programming languages. To compile the project, you will need a macOS system with the Xcode development tool installed. iTransmission also works on iOS 15 devices.

Downloaded torrent files are stored on your device in the location:

/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/iTransmission/
