Thread: Best Torrent Client On LINUX

Hi there guys am on ubuntu 10.10 maverick . I used to use qBittorrent primarily but now I find out its not permitted in some trackers so whats the best alternative . I dont like transmission :P . SO please come up with better ones :) .

I have been wondering the same thing, since I changed the OS. I used to do utorrent using WINE, but I prefer a native client.

From what I have read, the best option is rTorrent (no GUI, you have to install a webui separately) as it is used on seedboxes as well, but deluge and transmission are also good.

yes rtorrent I did try to install with the rutorrent web UI support but something went wrong :P I wonder why ? Hahah

+1 for rtorrent (I use the CLI no need for webui).

I used rTorrent when I had Linux installed on my PC, now I switched to W7 and I'm using uTorrent.

transmission is made mainly for linux and macs .. its really a gr8 client .. as far as I know ..

well I have found my best on DELUGE . Could not get rtorrent to link to WebUI :| .

My vote goes to deluge. It's easy to use and compatible with almost all the private trackers.

Transmission is my fave but if you have a lot of torrents, it's not that great - a bit hard to organise.

KTorrent is pretty good, rtorrent and deluge as mentioned above too although I only like deluge for seedboxes (it's quite an agressive seeder), it just seems a bit clunky to me.

I use transmission on my home box, though, and deluge on my seedbox. Deluge only really has an advantage over rTorrent on fast (100mbit+) connections.
