Transmission. Dat speed.

AxelLund · Jun 9, 2013

Always have and always will utorrent.

hullostranger · Jun 9, 2013

Loving the windows port of Transmission. Thanks for the headsup, didn't even know it existed.

undu · Jun 9, 2013

My main gripe with transmission is the lack of RSS, which is simply too convenient.

Cindres · Jun 9, 2013

100% not uTorrent or Tixati.

Go with Transmission or Deluge.

been using deluge for a while now.

Here here!

I used Transmission, but I was getting stupidly slow speeds for unknown reasons (ports were good, plenty of seeders etc.) switched to Deluge and everything was solid

wenis · Jun 9, 2013

utorrent is bloated?

its your fault for using anything past 2.2.1

Lightweight and gets the job done with no unnecessary frills attached. No idea how it'd fare for heavy-duty torrenting, though - I've never had more than a few torrents running concurrently.

It works beautifully.

MrHicks · Jun 9, 2013

vuze and taxati are the only ones that handle magnet links properly though

it allows you to pick files BEFORE the torrent starts just like with regular torrents
with other clients with a magnet link doesn't allow you to prepick the files before download and just starts downloading fucking everything

you guys know what im trying to say lol?

CheesecakeRecipe · Jun 9, 2013

uTorrent 2.2 is dat shit son.

secretanchitman · Jun 9, 2013

OSX - Transmission
Windows - uTorrent 2.2.1 build 25302

Creamium · Jun 9, 2013

Didn't know you could turn off every ad in the current uTorrent in the advanced menu. Looks clean again.

Use an older version, done.

Totally do, that's why I've been using Tixati. Need to check out Transmission now...

I thought uTorrent had some weird ties to the movie industry and went closed source. Seems like a genuine conflict of interest to me.

Problem with newer version of uTorrent is program report fake ratios from upload data, that's big issue if you are private tracker member.

Herr Schwarz · Apr 20, 2017

All my uTorrent is doing these days, is serving me spyware through the browser in the bottom left.

What is the uTorrent version that is just uTorrent without the malware?

Wrap this one up.

If you're using something else, you're fucking up.

uTorrent is dead, you should consider switching to a more modern client like Deluge or qBitTorrent.

Carlius · Apr 20, 2017

i love qbittorent

Windows = qbittorent

Best client imo

Sapiens · Apr 20, 2017

Still running Vuze with the classic UI on a MacMini - I don't really want to change as I had to manually do all the regex scheduling stuff on the RSS feeds to get certain things automatically.

Doesn't give me any noticeable performance problems (running on a quad core machine with 16GB Ram though).

Should I finally move away from Vuze to transmission?

datruth29 · Apr 20, 2017

I use Deluge. Lightweight, simple, just works. I'm not a torrent power user, so I don't need anything really fancy.

spindashing · Apr 20, 2017

I'm rolling with Deluge as well after uTorrent got too busy.

Herne · Apr 20, 2017

I'm another one voting for an older version of uTorrent. Lightweight and functional.

Mistake · Apr 20, 2017

I use utorrent 3.2.3. It has an ad thing I guess, but I disabled it and everything runs fine. I heard after that version is no good anyway

Ewo · Apr 20, 2017

Deluge is first pick, qBittorrent second. I don't really see anything about uTorrent that would make me want to choose closed source ad-supported software over the large amount of open source clients.

N.A · Apr 20, 2017

qbittorrent. Never had an issue with it and no ads.

54-46! · Apr 20, 2017

qBitorrent is like uTorrent if uTorrent was actually good.

alr1ght · Apr 20, 2017

uTorrent is dreadful these days.

Use qbittorrent.

Rogan · Apr 20, 2017

Now I'm using Vuze because uTorrent (PC) doesn't start after downloading a torrent file. I bought uTorrent for my Android and this works perfectly on Android though.

Vuze is pretty good for PC I guess. But the UI can be pretty annoying.

CaviarMeths · Apr 20, 2017

qBitTorrent is very lightweight and streamlined. No unnecessary bloat.

I tried Vuze for a while but its UI is garbage and it's significantly more unwieldy than qBT.

Edit: Maybe I should try the classic UI, going by some responses in this thread, but I really have no incentive to stop using qBT now unless major sites start blacklisting it.

Edit 2: What the fuck this thread is 4 years old.

AppleSeason · Apr 20, 2017

I stopped using uTorrent after it was found that it mined bitcoin in the background. I wondered why my computer slowed down so much.

Switched to Deluge, never looked back.

My man. I use this too ever since one time uTorrent wasn't playing nice. I wouldn't want to go back regardless though.

Just switch to qBittorrent. It's basically uTorrent without the bloat and it's open source/still gets updated.

smisk · Apr 20, 2017

Deluge baby.

Aiii · Apr 20, 2017

Used Deluge until I wanted to download torrents with Japanese letters in them and it just refused to open them, qbittorrent all the way since then.

Alexlf · Apr 20, 2017

Oooo, nice necro.

Tixati's still on top by the way.

Keen · Apr 20, 2017

What's best for Mac? Still transmission?
