Taking a look at the synopsis and description I found:

synopsis: Fast and easy BitTorrent client
description: Transmission is a BitTorrent client that comes with
graphical, textual, and Web user interfaces.  Transmission also has a
+ daemon for unattended operations.  It supports local peer discovery,
full encryption, DHT, µTP, PEX and Magnet Links.

I think both should be improved to avoid confusion.
->
synopsis: Fast and easy BitTorrent daemon with multiple interfaces

description: Transmission is a BitTorrent client that comes with
graphical, textual, and Web user interfaces.  The default output
installs transmission-daemon, transmission-cli and the web interface at
http://localhost:9091.  It supports local peer discovery, full
encryption, DHT, µTP, PEX and Magnet Links.

WDYT?
