The best client ever
Yep. The day µTorrent did their adware/crypto/whatever the fuck it was shit happened more than once, I immediately grabbed qBittorrent and never wanted to look back. Only once did I have a problem with it and that was an issue between it and Sonarr which I resolved by just downgrading qBittorrent for awhile lol
Same here. I occasionally try other clients, but qB is the one I always end up going back to, mostly because it automagically blocks hosts that send garbage.
Since I discovered qbittorent, it has been the only thing I use for torrents
If PicoTorrent meets your needs then you're fine, it's a great torrent client.
I tend to use qBittorrent, Deluge, rTorrent/ruTorrent.
Below is the list of desktop/server torrent clients people have mentioned over on the old subreddit.
- BiglyBT
- BitTorrent Classic / uTorrent Classic (current versions are essentially the same client nowadays)
- or uTorrent 2.2.1 (try here)
- BitTorrent Web / uTorrent Web
- Deluge
- Exatorrent
- FrostWire
- JSTorrent
- KTorrent
- PicoTorrent
- Porla
- qBittorrent
- rTorrent
- Tixati
- Transmission
- Tribler
- Vuze
- WebTorrent Desktop
I'll just add that it's best to avoid current versions of BitTorrent/uTorrent/Vuze nowadays. (Vuze users should migrate to BiglyBT)
Thanks!
Qbittorrent. Before that, uTorrent. Prefer QBT interface. Tried i2p, but too tech-ignorant to make it work.
i2p is not a torrent client - but have no fear, you’re not missing much. i2p torrenting is slowwww (think gigs per day) and generally doesn’t have much.
qbittorrent on windows and Flud on my phone.
Deluge
I started using it on my desktop the day qbittorrent decided to just randomly die and refused to be reinstalled
qbittorrent because I love the search engine
qbittorrent with docker container.
Deluge in a docker container. I run a media server and use the *arr apps to control things and deluge for the torrent app. I have it all behind a VPN. If the VPN goes down the entire network fails and is unable to connect any other way…. I do not trust a Killswitch and never would.
How did you make sure that the internet can only be reached through the VPN?
qBittorrent, for its search engine. It's fantastic. If it didn't have it though I'd use Transmission.

I've been using Qbittorrent for as long as I can remember. It's been very reliable and I don't see a reason to change.
Déluge on my desktop, qbittorrent on my laptop and libretorrent on my android
Transmission with OpenVPN, using the haugene/transmission-openvpn Docker image.
I mostly torrent via API using Sonarr and Radarr.
Tixati for PC, Transmission for Mac is how I’ve had it for a while. No complaints!
Also been using Tixati for years now. Does the job.
Can't help but be a little anxious about it being closed-source, but it a really good program still
qBittorrent but sometimes will use Seedr.cc
Deluge for my seedbox
qbittorrent-qt5, the default qt6 toolkit version looks a bit out of place with my Plasma theme.
qBittorrent on my Windows boxes, Transmission on my MacBook. Gotta figure out how I'm gonna get my server set up though once I migrate it to openmediavault instead of Windows Server
Radarr for movies, sonarr for shows, lidarr for music, nzbget as the downloader using prowlarr to manage my indexers
Transmission since you can select files inside a torrent and prioritize them, or choose to not download some files.
I use rtorrent + Flood. Nice setup if you're using a seedbox or otherwise running your torrents on a server.
I use mldonkey, because it have ed2k/kad network too and it is enough for me. Just one program, one daemon.
Flud on mobile and qBittorrent on PC
Flud is great! One of my most missed apps since moving to iOS.
Qbittorrent enhanced edition
My favorite used to be torrentflux, these days I mostly use transmission
rTorrent with the Flood UI.
aria2, a terminal client because I don’t want to clutter my screen area with apps that have limited U and little interaction with me.
Sad i had to scroll this far to see this. Great client.
qBittorent but I typically access it using Flood as a frontend unless I need advanced features that aren't available in the Flood UI.
I was using Transmission on macOS but since I pay for Real Debrid to use it with Stremio, all my torrenting goes through there now.
Tribler.
Tribler is an open source decentralized BitTorrent client which allows anonymous peer-to-peer by default. Tribler is based on the BitTorrent protocol and uses an overlay network for content searching
Love me some DHT! The dht has saved some of my trackerless quests on many occasions.
I use a self hosted transmission docker container. The web ui is decent
qbitorrent, sometimes transmission(like how simple is) and libretorrent for android, libretorrent is so good man.
Mainly LibreTorrent on Android since I only pirate music and anime.
rTorrent with the Flood UI.
