------- -------
Usage of Transmission consumes significant Internet data and system resources. In order to make the latest features available to you as October 2023, Internet-in-a-Box compiles the very latest `Transmission 4.0.4+ <https://github.com/transmission/transmission/commits/main>`_, which painfully can take most of an hour.
Caveat emptor! (That's Latin for "Buyer Beware")
We hope that `Transmission 4.1 <https://github.com/transmission/transmission/milestone/13>`_ install options improve soon for 2024 (`#5585 <https://github.com/transmission/transmission/discussions/5585>`_) eliminating this install-time slowness!
