I haven’t kept up with which ones turned to fuckery and which ones did not.
You must log in or # to comment.
I use qBittorrent and haven’t heard anything bad.
The main one that turned to fuckery is µTorrent, stay far away from that.
edit: lol, they’re still around and offering paid services for a torrent client, fuck off.
qbittorrent is the new old-µTorrent, back when it was fast and reliable and THE go-to torrent client.
Or ktorrent if you’re on kde/Linux.
Yeah I remember the µTorrent fuckery.

qBitTorrent works fine for me
qBitTorrent on PC. LibreTorrent on Android
I like Deluge because it works very well with the seedbox service I’m using.
Deluge because of plugins and headless server/client GUI feature
Can you expand on what these are/do?
you can run it on a server and then remotely connect to it using a webUI in-browser and torrent stuff onto the server.
If you have Android there’s also a thin client you can use to connect. Decent UI and it supports magnet links
qBittorrent has that to, but deluge lets you use the desktop client to connect to the server as well.
Tbh I rarely use the plugins anymore, I just like that I have the option… no longer using RSS feeds but when I was, I had a Deluge plugin set up to auto-dl and organize files based on regex. Maybe this is an option in other mature clients these days, I dunno.
I’ve got a docker host and a Deluge container. I think it’s pretty rad to be able to feed the server daemon a torrent from anywhere on my home net and have it get to work downloading and seeding. Was a bit of work but it’s been set-and-forget since.
Rtorrent if you like it lightweight
Do not use Tixati or uTorrent or Bittorrent. these are proprietary software.
Deluge, QBittorrent, rTorrent, and Transmission are all fine options and I think they each excel in different ways. Most seedboxes use Deluge or rTorrent.
I never really like QBittorrent because I don’t like the libQT interface. It’s probably fine to use.
Deluge is the preferred client by seedboxers who seed new torrents. For torrents that are less than 48 hours old, deluge seeds much more than any other torrent client. Deluge also downloads more aggressively than the other clients. The drawback of Deluge is that it loses performance at around 500 active torrents.
I haven’t noticed Transmission being offered by most seedbox companies for use. It is a fine client. In my own experience, it is limited to around 2000 active torrents seeding before it loses performance. I’ve known people who seed more than 2000 torrents and they run multiple instances of transmission with different torrents seeding in each.
rTorrent is the best in terms of long term seeding. It is the most lightweight out of the clients. I’ve has up to 6000 torrents active seeding in an rTorrent client. I would guess that it fails somewhere around 10000 active torrents. The web interface will fail long before it reaches this point so you have to figure out how to control it by command line.
Deluge on the server and qbittorrent on the laptop. Might move to rtorrent this year.
I alternate between qbittorrent and transmission
I use fragments because I’m using the GNOME desktop and it looks nice.
I still use Transmission.
deluge is nice, i run it on my raspberry pi along with plex so i can torrent stuff from anywhere onto it using the webUI which is really handy. its GUI client is good too for general use, it’s lightweight and open source. i was a utorrent 2.2.1 purist for a long time but deluge is what got me to change things up.
yeah last I saw deluge had not been getting a lot of updates but its still my preferred as well
I use Deluge because FOSS and python
