uTorrent doesn't play well in the landscape of the modern bittorrent protocol. It's also adware, infringes upon your privacy, and is a malware risk.
qBittorrent is my client of choice, but other popular and great clients are Deluge (only up to ~500 torrents), transmission, and rtorrent (on Linux). There's other clients as well but YMMV, especially if you do any private tracker usage.
Agrred, QBT and Deluge are great options
Ya, my only issue with Deluge is after ~500 torrents it starts to slow. I'm on private trackers, so I always tend to have ~2,000 torrents seeding at once. For my particular usecase, it simply becomes too slow and bogged down to be viable.
Granted, I've not used Deluge in some 2 or 3 years; maybe they improved process handling since then? I'd love to be corrected if so.
Hmm, not sure. Ive been on deluge for a while but ive used QBT before. Might be time to benchmark again
If you do, I'd be interested to hear results. Deluge's plugins are nice and it's easy to make your own. If it wasn't for the performance issues, I'd likely still be there.
