#bittorrent
Recall that we focus on the following three:
Below a short summary.
Feature set
- qBittorrent appears to be the most comprehensive. Has good support of BitTorrent version 2 features, supports magnet links (
v1,v2, andhybrid) has good export capabilities, and provides access to an impressive set of options (both specific to qBittorrent and to libtorrent-rasterbar). It has the highest user base, looks reasonably good on Ubuntu. - Transmission has best support on macos and looks really good there. Also provides versions based on QT and GTK. User-base similar to that of qBittorrent. Exposes limited number of settings, besides the most important protocol extensions. On the other hand, less options makes it less overwhelming for a regular user.
- Deluge - Python-based client which the lowest user base (300k, comparing to around 6M for the other two clients). Feature-wise can be placed somewhere between qBittorrent and Transmission. Because it is Phyton, it may feel easier to work with it cross-platform. Yet, feels more buggy than the other two.
Both Deluge and qBittorrent depend on libtorrent-rasterbar, while Transmission is using its own BitTorrent protocol implementation.
