qBittorrent for over a decade now.

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

[-] Cannabisms@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Same, qbittorrent on windows, rtorrent on seedbox.

[-] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Same here. I occasionally try other clients, but qB is the one I always end up going back to, mostly because it automagically blocks hosts that send garbage.

[-] KintsugiUwU@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

I use transmission. M1 compatible, open source and free

Since I discovered qbittorent, it has been the only thing I use for torrents

[-] brickfrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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)

qBittorrent for me.

[-] arrgh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 year ago

Qbittorrent. Before that, uTorrent. Prefer QBT interface. Tried i2p, but too tech-ignorant to make it work.

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.

[-] cmat273@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

qBittorrent through the webui mostly. I have it installed on my NAS along with Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, etc.

[-] crystalshower@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

qbittorrent with docker container.

[-] backshift0022@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

qBittorrent, for its search engine. It's fantastic. If it didn't have it though I'd use Transmission.

[-] MadCybertist@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

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.

deluge on linux

libretorrent on android

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I've been using Transmission on a headless Debian box running the web UI. Has worked well for me for over a decade.

[-] azuth@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Deluged on my 24/7 running box and the gtk client to connect to it from my main PC.

[-] crunziel@lemmy.id 7 points 1 year ago

Deluge for my seedbox

[-] dewritoninja@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago

Déluge on my desktop, qbittorrent on my laptop and libretorrent on my android

[-] mccord@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

qbittorrent-qt5, the default qt6 toolkit version looks a bit out of place with my Plasma theme.

[-] DirtyDan@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

qBittorrent but sometimes will use Seedr.cc

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 6 points 1 year ago

Transmission since you can select files inside a torrent and prioritize them, or choose to not download some files.

[-] TheGreatFox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Are there any torrent clients that don't have that? qbittorrent has it, and even the ancient utorrent had it.

[-] rho50@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 year ago

Transmission with OpenVPN, using the haugene/transmission-openvpn Docker image.

I mostly torrent via API using Sonarr and Radarr.

[-] arrgh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

qbittorrent. Tried i2p, but too tech-ignorant to make it work.

[-] Letranger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

qBitorrent with Vuetorrent webui

[-] PaupersSerenade@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Tixati for PC, Transmission for Mac is how I’ve had it for a while. No complaints!

I use rtorrent + Flood. Nice setup if you're using a seedbox or otherwise running your torrents on a server.

qBittorent in a docker. Rock solid.

[-] RomanRoy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Not the first person I see using it on docker. Why, tho? Any reason for it?

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

[-] landordragen@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] supervent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

I use mldonkey, because it have ed2k/kad network too and it is enough for me. Just one program, one daemon.

[-] OldWorldOrder@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] puppy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

KTorrent on KDE desktop on Linux. Transmission on other operating systems.
