Title: do u noobs still use utorrent
Post by: strongbad on April 07, 2015, 09:36:31 AM
i hope not

recently switched to qbittorrent (and found a handy guide to transfer all my seeding torrents from utorrent which was essential) and am 10x happier

i also use qbittorrent

it's pretty nice and simple. no frills. there were some aspects of os x transmission i liked a bit more though.

not since the scumbags started surreptitiously stealing my precious cock cycles to mine sh*tcoins

not that that should be surprising, it's always been a bloatware and malware-laden hunk of garbij

I use rtorrent

It's kinda bad in a lot of ways, but it works. Easy to set up and run on a headless server, not so easy to configure or manage beyond that. Atrocious lack of documentation, relies on weird inconsistent and unmemorable key combinations, some features like stopping downloads on low disk space don't work half the time, and sometimes it randomly remembers old torrents I removed months ago.

I've considered switching to some other client that runs headless, but I haven't bothered looking into it yet.

i dont really see the point of using older utorrent when you could support a torrent client that didn't decide to sell out and become shit

but transmission is cool too

I had worked on a script a while back that at least sets it up to use ruTorrent for a UI but it does suck in many ways.


I have Deluge on my seedbox and have Transmission on my mac.
