    Actually, not such a bad question. There's at least Synapse[1]. It even has a third-part broker to accept transmission GUIs by Drew Dewalt[2]. Why didn't they just reuse Transmission protocol from the get-go, to leverage the great Transmission-Remote-GUI[3] for example, is beyond me.

    Unfortunately, there's just not enough interest in the project and no adoptance.

    Transmission, at least previously, never have been too resource-friendly, so a lean and mean Rust alternative would be great.
