Bug Description
Binary package hint: transmission
The default install of the Transmission client has the "Web Client" feature enabled by default, which leaves an open listening server. I don't think that this should be enabled by default, so that users don't have server processes running without their knowledge, for security reasons. Is there any way to disable this by default?

Indeed, I can confirm that the webui is started by default. It is
listening only on the 127.0.0.1 so it's not critical but it means that
other users on the computer have access to your files so it should be
fixed.
