Transmission bittorrent client for EL6

As it turns out there's no graphical bittorrent client in EL6, therefore a quick copy/paste tip so you don't end up butchering your favourite OS like this guy (though he was trying to achieve smth a tad different):
wget ftp://ftp.lug.ro/fedora/linux/releases/14/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/transmission-common-2.04-2.fc14.1.x86_64.rpm ftp://ftp.lug.ro/fedora/linux/releases/14/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/transmission-gtk-2.04-2.fc14.1.x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck transmission-common-2.04-2.fc14.1.x86_64.rpm transmission-gtk-2.04-2.fc14.1.x86_64.rpm

Modify the paths accordingly if you're on 32 bit arch.

Enjoy! ;-)
