What torrent client do you use, Jow Forums?
Personally I use Transmission on macOS and Linux, and Deluge on Windows. Both are lightweight, open source, and have been the best torrent clients I've ever used on their respective OSs.

Justin Garcia
Transmission. It's the best.
Julian Harris
For deluge I have one gripe tho, is there a way to choose which files to download before starting the torrent and THEN choosing?
Luke Powell
qbittorrent exists
Anthony James
deluge a shit, net traffic doesn't stop after killing the process
Zachary Collins
qbit a best
Levi King
rtorrent + rtcontrol
Ethan Ortiz
free download manager
Julian Perez
deluge for racing
transmission for long term
qbittorrent for configurability

Transmission feels nicer on Mac because it uses native UI elements instead of GTK. And with Linux, to be honest I rarely download torrents on Linux. Usually I'm using Mac or Windows. Deluge is definitely my preferred on Windows though.
Nice.
I assume that's the old version before they put in adverts and stuff? Is there a reason for not changing to something else? I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Yeah I definitely prefer Transmission on macOS.
I don't think I've ever noticed that bothering me, although I guess it is a little annoying. If you pause the torrent, will it load the metadata? So then you can select different files? To be honest I can't remember.
I'm aware of it yes, but I'm not aware of any compelling reasons to use it over Deluge or Transmission. I'm open to hearing some though.
Really? I guess I've not looked into it.

I only use transmission. The only feature I miss is not being able to open the folder or file from the torrent client, otherwise it's perfect.

OP here, is there any reason for using qBitTorrent over Transmission or Deluge?
Joshua Hernandez
Transmission got me banned from iptorrents because the admins demanded a screenshot of my passkey. I couldnt figure out how to oblidge so i told them to fuck off and found a new site.
Zachary Bell
Transmission because it just werks™. You can also use Qt5 for the GUI instead of GTK which is a positive for me.

>If you pause the torrent, will it load the metadata?
Well yeah thats the only way apparently, it simply helps in ascertaining what you are going to download before committing but otherwise its a great client

Transmission Daemon + Remote GUI mainly. Also qBittorrent but only sometimes.
Anthony Richardson

Christian Turner
Transmission. Somehow Transmission is way faster for me at default settings
Leo Scott
2.2.1
Smol. Fast. Gud.
Brandon Williams
when I used deluge it was a buggy mess and crashed a lot, but then again the last time i used it was like 4-6 years ago.
transmission (at least the gtk clients, i dont know about the cli one) lacks the ability to use a vpn (or i'm too much of a brainlet to find it)
so i use qbittorrent because i can easily set up my vpn and it just werks
Lucas Bell
Reminder that right now Transmission has unfixed vulnerabilities that have been reported over a year ago and has the worse security response time of any open source project.

Also remember the multiple times that their website was hacked.

Transmission. It's installed in my router.
Kevin Lopez
Qbit is that good shit
Aaron Reyes
Yes. Just mark the option to add the torrent paused. Mark the files and start it.

It would be very painful
Anthony Gomez
I've used deluge in the past, but it kept rechecking the torrent each time I started it up. I switched to qbittorrent and it works better.
Liam Young
>he didn't read the manual
Deluge is built with a client-server architecture. You're actually running deluged and some deluge interface; most often the GUI wrapper, but it works the same with the console and web interfaces. If you didn't install the daemon, the GUI interface starts it's local daemon: it retains ownership of it and it kills it when the program ends. But if you have the actual daemon installed, closing the interface won't stop any of the things the program is doing, because it's actually the daemon at work. How retarded are you that you use software without taking a minute to read the first page of the manual? Kill yourself.

Transmission or rtorrent?
Kayden Gomez
qbittorrent just tried ro recheck 500GB of completed files on startup. And it won't check them in a queue, it turns my hard drive into a coffee grinder trying to check them all at the same time (and of course, mechanical drives have wonderful random performance when grinding).
I had to go to all the completed files that were checking and just delete them from the download list to regain control and resume downloads.
QBITTORRENT IS SHIT. LIBTORRENT (the most likely culprit for this behaviour) IS SHIT.
Whatelse for Wincucks like me? (no libtorrent allowed). Thank you user.
Sebastian Gray
Been trying qBitstalledmeme again, just to download Game of Thrones episodes from TorrentLeech.
For now it worked ok, but I know that sooner or later it WILL fuck up some torrent getting stalled forever.
I'm waiting for Transmission 3.0 to jump to that. Soon I hope: github.com
Christopher Baker
>Whatelse for Wincucks like me?
Transmission.
Tixati.
Trans setup as a daemon and accessing it with the Remote GUI app is very similar to the old uTorrent interface and is what I use most of the time. Tixati is supposed to be nice but I haven't put much time into it yet.
Ayden Stewart
transmission on linux
qbittorrent on windows, for rss and sequential downloads

literally impossible, learn to computer.

Thank you, user. Any way of having categories with different completed/seeding drives by category in Transmission? Just installed official 2.94-qt and I don't see that option anywhere.
Benjamin Hill
Unfortunately not yet although I think its coming with 3.0. What I do in the meantime is enable the "save path" column and just sort it that way when I need to view things via which drive or folder etc.

I've using Deluge for years but it kinda runs like shit with lots of seeding torrents (30 or so?) when I'm watching something in full screen the Deluge window flashes for a split second sometimes.
Hudson Gutierrez
Whenever I'm seeding more than 50 torrents at once Deluge just tends to crash every few hours. Kind of makes it horrible as a torrent client.
