I hope this is a good place to ask: what do people in HN use for torrent client?
I recently learned that transmission got hacked (more than once apparently) so I decided to stop using it. The alternatives seem to be deluge or qbittorrent. I picked the latter because it has labels (and supports moving finished downloads to different folders depending on label), which is a feature I'd always wanted in a torrent client. But my point is it seems to me all the torrent clients seems very similar, barring very minor features.
Anyway, what do you people use and why?
- june11 4y agoI personally use qbittorrent, after ubittorrent got ads way back. I view torrent clients like a good saw/hammer, if it works and you know it well, that's all you need. Sometimes you don't need to put much thought into what software you pick.
- quickthrower2 4y agoDeluge for years. Since uTorrent was full of ads and crap (not sure if it still is)
- 0x38B 4y agoqBittorrent is great: set up qbittorrent-nox on a server somewhere in the world and you can do everything through the WebUI.
- hansel_der 4y agortorrent for a decade or so. i use it because of drm.

- Akronymus 4y agoFor me, Deluge is pretty much perfect. Altough, I don't really use any advanced features.
