Best Torrent downloading software?
| Deluge simply for being open sauce. If you're using Mac, then Transmission would be my pick (for the same reason and for having a better UI).
| What's the problem with using the most common ones like bittorent and utorrent?
| >>92598
Nothing, really. I prefer both Transmission and Deluge simply because they work in most platforms I'm in and they're light on resources as well.
| BiglyBT is pretty good. Check it out.
Basically same as Vuze, but without ads and all that shit.
| You've gotta be careful though, idk about the other big ones but ik BitTorrent's newest updates have crypto mines in them that'll fuck over your cpu
| >>92598 u torrent was using some crypto currency mining stuff last time i head about it, im sure bittorrent was doing the same.
qbittorrent its basically bittorrent but open source if you really want bittorent.
not sure why but i deleted deluge for some reason? i dont remember but maybe it had something wrong.
| Tixati
| Transmission just wurks
| rtorrent + rutorrent isn't a bad choice for remote access. qBittorent is great if you're running it on a local machine, but has a subpar Web UI.
| an anon recommended me deluge when i asked for edgy ui apps the other day. with the right gtk theme, it just works
| Old Version of uTorrent. AdFree and easy to use.
| I mean yeah, 2.2.1 uTorrent is safe, but why would you use an old version when there's much better and updated alternatives
| I switched from uTorrent 2.2.1 to whatever the latest deluge is. No problems whatsoever.
| >people still using uTorrent
ayyyyyyyy lmao
| Deluge is open source and pretty lightweight in my experience
| Deluge vs. qBittorrent?
| For Windows I use Tixati
| qBittorrent is the good choise
| People always be recommending Transmission, but that bitch constantly locked up my system even after upgrades and reainstalls. I mostly use qBittorrent.
| Ktorrent from KDE
| Deluge or Transmission. Deluge is probably the best option if you want something that Just Werkz. Transmission on the other hand has a ton of advanced features like the ability to run headless with a web interface, a script interface, a couple different ncurses-based clients, etc (fwiw i think deluge is catching up in this respect but idk how feature complete it is at the moment). Both are a bit bloated, but that's unavoidable for a gui client.

i used rtorrent for a while, but having to constantly have it in a detached screen was a pain in the ass. i wish it had a proper daemon mode...
| I would use Tixati, but I’m not stupid enough to use a closed-source torrent client. I’m using Deluge, it’s great.
