Author Topic: What's the best alternative to μTorrent?  (Read 1668 times)

I'm not giving them money and I hate it.

Recommend something better.


qBittorrent. I vaguely recall it having some Big Issue lately, but I've never had problems with it so maybe not.

You are visiting a forum owned by someone who makes their living selling a game.    Posts encouraging software piracy are extremely disrespectful.

Do not:
Do not talk about pirating software
Do not give links to software pirating sites
Do not give instructions on how to pirate software
Do not talk about how you just pirated software
Do not give links/talk about/show off private or cracked mmo servers - this is piracy
Do not use "clever" innuendo to talk about any of these things

unless of course you are downloading exlusively legal content--right?

Ever since μTorrent put a bitcoin miner in their client even after users opted out of it, then censored any discussion on the topic on the forums when people called them out on forcing a bitcoin miner onto people, I have completely stopped using μTorrent and have told everyone that I know cares about it to not touch it with a 10 foot pole

As of now I'd recommend one called Deluge. It's a fantastic open-source, no-ads, no-bullstuff client. Has most to all of the features that μTorrent has. Works fantastic.

nice and open-source
it can also work as like, a webserver kinda thing, so you can control downloads over the internet

I'm not sure how people always manage to post this exact same dumb thing. Torrenting is not piracy, piracy is piracy.

What features could I possibly need beyond "downloads a torrent"?

Transmission is also very good, I'd only really recommend it if you actually wanted to utilise the remote control though.
