Bryan Varner shot ICO an e-mail, letting us know that he has worked some on Transmission for BeOS and its GUI as well, making it possible to build and use (via GUI) Transmission 0.62, development version (the most recent stable version released is 0.61).

Bryan makes available both the diffs and also a R5 net_server binary. He has also submitted the code to Transmission's source tree, making it possible for anyone to build it if they please (it's quite easy to do). Along with Bryan, there's another developer working on Transmission for BeOS and he hopes that their combined efforts will help make it one of the best Transmission ports around. Good luck to them and thanks for the work (and thanks to Eric too of course).
