It is nice to have some competition and so thank you to the developer, but I see no reason to use this compared to qBittorrent, Transmission, aria2, etc.

- sonicggg 5y agoThis one seems to be a lightweight Vuze fork. The differential is that it should have most of the Vuze features, which are not necessarily available for the programs you mentioned. Swarm Merging, for example, seems to be exclusive to Vuze. I've never used it though, so I don't know how appealing that is.
- billyjobob 5y agoBiglyBT is the new name for Azureus. It’s older than qBittorrent and Transmission. The reason people use it over those alternatives is that those alternatives didn’t even exist when they started using it, and they haven’t offered any features since to make switching worthwhile.
- toyg 5y ago> they haven’t offered any features since to make switching worthwhile. Ish. The main advantage of newer clients were simplicity and nimbleness: Azureus/Vuze was a bit heavy on memory, at a time when this mattered more than today. After the Vuze renaming, it also went down a dark ad-filled path that did it no favours, to be honest. So a lot of people moved away.
