So much has changed in Transmission since then, that this would not be
worthwhile.
The last version with a BeOS Gui was 0.7x.
When I was doing an initial port (compiling actually) of 1.4x, the
beos GUI simply could not work with anything newer than 0.8x due to
restructuring of libtransmission.
IIRC, Transmission is now at 1.7x
They do include a webclient, which works well enough as a GUI.
They also have a nice RPC, which can allow a GUI to be written in any
language, C++, Yab, Python, ...,
