<h1>What is PEX? </h1>
</div>
<p>PEX (Peer Exchange) is a method of discovering new peers via other peers, rather than the tracker. It allows Transmission to attach to the swarm much quicker.
PEX is automatically disabled for privately tracked torrents. The feature is compatible with both Azureus and µTorrent peers.

<h1>What is encryption? </h1>
</div>
<p>Transmission encrypts the connections it makes with other peers when necessary, using the RC4 cipher. The implementation is compatible with other clients such as Azureus and µTorrent. It is always enabled, however you have two options: accepting connections from anyone, regardless of encryption; or only accepting encrypted connections. Note that the latter option may make you unconnectable in some swarms. The encryption feature does not mean your session is secure or anonymous, it is merely a way to avoid the traffic shaping measures some ISPs have implemented.

<h1>Why can I only connect to around 60 peers? </h1>
</div>
<p>This is a constraint imposed on Transmission, as more than this number is unnecessary. A global limit is set at 200 peers.

<h1>What are 'nightlies'?</h1>
</div>
<p>'Nightlies' are releases on the bleeding edge of development. They normally contain new features and bugfixes, but are not officially supported (although you are more than welcome to discuss them on the Transmission forums). You can try one out <a href="http://transmission.xpjets.com/">here</a>.
