Recommended Torrent Client

[sh0rty]

I have been using utorrent 3.2.2 for over 20 years now and this week I starting to get random errors. It has been crashing regularly since win11, but requires a simple restart so I just kept using it. Anyway, any recommendations from the masses?

For Windows clients, definitely qBittorrent.

For Windows clients, definitely qBittorrent.

Even for Linux.

Avoid uTorrent at all costs. It’s a shell of its yesteryear self.

Transmission is awesome. I run it as a daemon under FreeBSD and use Transmission Remote GUI from PCs or Tremotesf on Android because the default web interface isn't the greatest (though it has improved a lot). It's incredibly lightweight and stable. You can just install it on whatever platform and run it normally too.

I will have to check that out...thanks to all the replies. I am starting with qbittorrent for now, but for sure checking out transmission.

Those using qbtorrent, did you add your IP in Options>Adv>IP address reported to trackers ?
Also when using VPN do you use your VPN app (connect or disconnect) or use the proxy function within qbtorrent?

Thanks for any insight.
