Hi, ive been pirating stuff for a bit and I currently use Picotorrent, but I wanted to know what everyone else uses to see if there is a better option.
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.
qBittorrent for me.
qBittorrent for over a decade now.
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
I had a problem with qbittorrent years ago with a DNS leak but once I solved that no issues. I can’t remember what the problem was but I am almost certain it was user config related and not program related.
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.
Qbittorrent. Before that, uTorrent. Prefer QBT interface. Tried i2p, but too tech-ignorant to make it work.
Since I discovered qbittorent, it has been the only thing I use for torrents
Deluged on my 24/7 running box and the gtk client to connect to it from my main PC.
deluge on linux
libretorrent on android
Qbittorrent-nox. However I’m not completely sure if nox has support for a torrent creator tool like Qbittorrent does.
qbittorrent with docker container.
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)
qbittorrent. Tried i2p, but too tech-ignorant to make it work.
qBittorrent through the webui mostly. I have it installed on my NAS along with Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, etc.
qBitorrent with Vuetorrent webui
I use transmission. M1 compatible, open source and free
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.
