So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.

I didn't think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They're both just torrent downloaders.

Holy shit was I wrong. I don't even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don't even understand how.

A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.

Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?

Hmm, not sure. Ive been on deluge for a while but ive used QBT before. Might be time to benchmark again

If you do, I'd be interested to hear results. Deluge's plugins are nice and it's easy to make your own. If it wasn't for the performance issues, I'd likely still be there.
