Hi, ive been pirating stuff for a bit and I currently use Picotorrent, but I wanted to know what everyone else uses to see if there is a better option.
qBittorrent for over a decade now.
Same here. I occasionally try other clients, but qB is the one I always end up going back to, mostly because it automagically blocks hosts that send garbage.
The best client ever
Yep. The day µTorrent did their adware/crypto/whatever the fuck it was shit happened more than once, I immediately grabbed qBittorrent and never wanted to look back. Only once did I have a problem with it and that was an issue between it and Sonarr which I resolved by just downgrading qBittorrent for awhile lol
I had a problem with qbittorrent years ago with a DNS leak but once I solved that no issues. I can’t remember what the problem was but I am almost certain it was user config related and not program related.
Same, qbittorrent on windows, rtorrent on seedbox.
Flud on Mobile and Deluge on PC.
Transmission with OpenVPN, using the haugene/transmission-openvpn Docker image.
I mostly torrent via API using Sonarr and Radarr.
qbitorrent, sometimes transmission(like how simple is) and libretorrent for android, libretorrent is so good man.
I’ve been using Qbittorrent for as long as I can remember. It’s been very reliable and I don’t see a reason to change.
Qbittorrent-nox. However I’m not completely sure if nox has support for a torrent creator tool like Qbittorrent does.
I use a self hosted transmission docker container. The web ui is decent
Déluge on my desktop, qbittorrent on my laptop and libretorrent on my android
qBittorrent on Desktop, Transmission on server.
I’m actually using qBittorrent on my server, is Transmission better in some cases? Never really checked it out.
I don’t remember the exact reason, but it was long time ago, so I’m not sure if that issue is even still relevant/fixed on qBit. So I used transmission on my Debian box. In a nutshell they’re both torrent clients that offer very similar functionality. It’s merely a preference thing
qBittorrent + Dracula Theme
This is what ive decided to go with, i really like it.
uTorrent 2.2.1
why
Old habit and it works 100 % of the time. Low on cpu and memory.
Tribler.
Tribler is an open source decentralized BitTorrent client which allows anonymous peer-to-peer by default. Tribler is based on the BitTorrent protocol and uses an overlay network for content searching
Love me some DHT! The dht has saved some of my trackerless quests on many occasions.
rTorrent with the Flood UI.
If PicoTorrent meets your needs then you’re fine, it’s a great torrent client.
I tend to use qBittorrent, Deluge, rTorrent/ruTorrent.
Below is the list of desktop/server torrent clients people have mentioned over on the old subreddit.
- BiglyBT
- BitTorrent Classic / uTorrent Classic (current versions are essentially the same client nowadays)
- or uTorrent 2.2.1 (try here)
- BitTorrent Web / uTorrent Web
- Deluge
- Exatorrent
- FrostWire
- JSTorrent
- KTorrent
- PicoTorrent
- Porla
- qBittorrent
- rTorrent
- Tixati
- Transmission
- Tribler
- Vuze
- WebTorrent Desktop
I’ll just add that it’s best to avoid current versions of BitTorrent/uTorrent/Vuze nowadays. (Vuze users should migrate to BiglyBT)
Thanks!
qBittorrent, for its search engine. It’s fantastic. If it didn’t have it though I’d use Transmission.
