Stay free (libre) software my guys. Deluge.
I mean I use Deluge anyway, but Qbittorrent is also libre and actually has a more permissive license (so more freedom)
Edit: apparently I looked at the wrong qbittorrent in github. The real one is GPL too so no more free than Deluge.
qBit and Deluge are both under copyleft GPL, what do you mean with "more permissive"?
As said in my other comment down the chain, I was looking at another repo named Qbittorrent by accident. That one was MIT.
Deluge is GPLv3 only. Qbittorrent is a mix of GPLv2 and GPLv3. Personally I'll stick to v3 since it includes specific terms that protect against modern DRM and ways to circumvent GPLv2.
Ah, right, I googled qbittorrent license earlier and accidentally instead read another similarly named project's license, which was MIT. You're right, Qbittorrent isn't really any more free than Deluge.
