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.
I use transmission. M1 compatible, open source and free
Does using ports on transmission do anything?
qBittorrent for me.
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.
I'll just add that it's best to avoid current versions of BitTorrent/uTorrent/Vuze nowadays. (Vuze users should migrate to BiglyBT)
Thanks!
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.
I guess the search engine works well? Does it find safe torrents (out there such a thing as safe torrents?)?
You need to add your own "plugins" (sources) which sites you wanna search, and you'll still get result info to choose which torrent you want to download. You need to have python installed (don't worry, it's available on windows and mac as well) and you can find a list of plugins and more instructions here
qBittorret I've been using that for what feels like 10 years.
qbittorrent with docker container.
qBittorrent on Desktop, Transmission on server.
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
Deluge
I started using it on my desktop the day qbittorrent decided to just randomly die and refused to be reinstalled
qBittorrent, for its search engine. It's fantastic. If it didn't have it though I'd use Transmission.
I've been using Transmission on a headless Debian box running the web UI. Has worked well for me for over a decade.
qBittorrent + Dracula Theme
This is what ive decided to go with, i really like it.
Thanks for mentioning this!
Deluge in a docker container. I run a media server and use the *arr apps to control things and deluge for the torrent app. I have it all behind a VPN. If the VPN goes down the entire network fails and is unable to connect any other way…. I do not trust a Killswitch and never would.
I hear you fellow ktorrent user, all the way from slackware.
Déluge on my desktop, qbittorrent on my laptop and libretorrent on my android
Transmission with OpenVPN, using the haugene/transmission-openvpn Docker image.
I mostly torrent via API using Sonarr and Radarr.
qBittorent in a docker. Rock solid.
Dockerized programs are easy to install and easy to make system agnostic. It's not always beneficial if you just have one system and you've already got a lot to learn about how to set it up, because it adds another layer of knowledge that you need to use it effectively. But if you're comfortable with *nix and tech in general it's nice to containerize stuff
Are there any torrent clients that don't have that? qbittorrent has it, and even the ancient utorrent had it.
I've tried to set that docker up so many times and can never get it to work. Looks amazing, I'm jealous.
Well if you're willing to give it another shot, this is the docker-compose I use with it. I also have ruTorrent running because that's what I was using before I heard about flood and just never bothered to strip it from the setup.

I think the only other thing to mention is you'll need to register for a maxmind API key and drop that into the environment variable field.
Tixati for PC, Transmission for Mac is how I’ve had it for a while. No complaints!
Same here. Tixati is hard to beat in terms of functionality, plus it has this old-school feeling to it I find very nostalgic
qBittorrent on my Windows boxes, Transmission on my MacBook. Gotta figure out how I'm gonna get my server set up though once I migrate it to openmediavault instead of Windows Server
Qbittorrent-nox. However I'm not completely sure if nox has support for a torrent creator tool like Qbittorrent does.
I was using Transmission on macOS but since I pay for Real Debrid to use it with Stremio, all my torrenting goes through there now.
Flud on mobile and qBittorrent on PC
Qbittorrent enhanced edition
I use aria for regular downloads, but couldn't get it to work with torrents. It's very picky what it downloads and what not. Maybe configuration thing, but gave up after few tries. I prefer dedicated solutions
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
I still use that ancient uTorrent app before they were bought out.
thanks for using Leebra!

qBittorrent for over a decade now.
