Yes, this is one of the finest ones, but last time I tried it, 

1) it had fever essential features than Deluge (files selection), 
2) didn't have uninstall section in the makefile (oh, I hate this one!),
3) corrupted huge torrents (> 4 Gb).

That was enough for me to switch to Deluge. I suppose that most of this
might have been already fixed, other than that I can confirm that it's
very lightweight and doesn't require much CPU/memory.

Having it packaged is also nice :) BTW, there is already an unofficial
Solaris SPEC file for it -
http://pkgbuild.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pkgbuild/spec-files-extra/trunk/SFEtransmission.spec?view=markup . I am not sure how it can be useful, but I suppose it's better than nothing.
