BiglyBT 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.
