Alternatively: every bittorrent client I have used (at least on macOS) is really, really bad. I used to use Deluge, which was buggy and slow to begin with. Then they stopped distributing an installer for it, so you had to install it with pip (!) and run it from the command line. God forbid I `brew upgrade python` or my bittorrent client will probably break.
Transmission crashes for me, and has little activity. Sometimes it just can't open torrent files.
The web doesn't break. You can load a URL, get some decent software with an easily-improvable UI—and assuming you're on a modern browser—expect it to work with no installation, in seconds. And if a site pushes an update, I hit refresh and get the update without needing to run a 45-minute `pip install` command.
- black_puppydog 6y agofwiw, I've used qBittorrent on osx and found it to be usable. I'll admit that was a few years back, so maybe they (read: apple) broke that one in the meantime. Oh, also, coming out of an hour long intercom session trying to explain to a customer rep how "no, I didn't change anything in my firefox, your site just suddenly doesn't log me in any longer" I'll posit that the web breaks all the time and all over the place, in many small, annoying ways.
