Deluge is another option to look into for Windows. I've had some issues using a number of larger sized torrents on qBittorent.
On GNU/Linux I'm big on using rTorrent in a terminal window.

i used to use µtorrent, but somebody told me it's terrible so i swapped to qbittorrent.
there were adverts, but they didn't bother me too much so unless there's something else wrong with µtorrent idk what the hate is about.
i'm curious about Tixati though, somebody mentioned it in another thread.

The problem with these other clients is the insistence on creating a subfolder. I've stopped seeding so many torrents because it's not a simple matter of transfer and force recheck.

Currently I tend between following clients:
Deluge 1.3.11 (somewhat too slow, uses too many resources)
Tixati 1.99 (weird UI, got to get use to it)
µTorrent 2.2.1 (too old, probably full of security leaks)
BitTorrent 7.9.2 (full of ads)
Currently I'm with qBittorrent.
Any other advises
No.597
I've been using Deluge ever since I found out uTorrent was a bloated, spying piece of shit.
Although the roommates and I have set up an always-on setup in the lounge with qBittorrent on it. They've been no complaints, and I feel like it's much more advanced.

I use transmission for the time being. I am hacking at the /g/Torrent-gtk codebase and eventually (i.e. when it's less shit) I'll update my github with what I've changed and quietly invite others to contribute. I'm trying to avoid the /g/ curse.
No.679
>>363I am. It's really good but:
1) Seems abandonned (github is plagued with issues and the dev never shows up)
2) Seeding can take a while to start
3) The UI could be ameliored a lot (colors, a more compact view for the default panel, a better file panel and a FUCKING name filtering option)
No.693
utorrent 2.2.1 (although i am sure that there is a better client out there)
No.696
I use rtorrent.
It's CLI based, light weight, probably the fastest client out there, accepted by every private tracker, and is very powerful. You have to mess with the config file and learn the keybindings for some of the more advanced stuff, but it's very powerful once you learn.
If you want a GUI then go with qBittorrent. It's FLOSS, cross-platform, has the features most people will want, and is pretty fast.
uTorrent, Vuze, and Bittorrent are all shit. Closed source, bloated, spyware, java, advertisements, doesn't respect your freedoms, possibly backdoored. uTorrent 2.2.1 isn't THAT bad, Windows only, but it's still closed source, has ads (I know you can hide then, but it's the principle), and is 4 years old and probably has a fair number of security and privacy vulnerabilities.
Deluge is also pretty mediocre imo, but no where to the level as the main 3 people seem to use. At least it's open source, regularly updated, and pretty usable.
Transmission is good if you want something minimal that has a GUI, but the features are limited and it's slower than some of the other clients.
So yeah, rtorrent if you're a CLI fag, qBittorrent if you're a GUI fag.

Used utorrent when I got into torrents, then switched months later to Deluge then Vuze when I started to want most programs I use be FOSS, though Vuze is bloated as shit and consumes a lot anyway.
Started using Lubuntu recently and it comes shipped with Transmission which does the job for me.

Plus, Deluge takes care of its daemonization, whereas with rTorrent you have to do it manually with screen or tmux (which is a pain when you don't have SystemD to automate it, and I'm running Mint right now)
Other than the chunk-by-chunk status viewer and peer manager (which are pretty awesome and I miss/want them), Deluge supports everything rTorrent does
