Best torrent software?

[Yayap7]

I know this can be a touchy subject and so I understand if Mods will lock this thread, although I haven't found anything regarding not having theses posts. 

 

So what's the best torrent program out there?

Which one are you using?

 

I mainly know of UTorrent but It seems like there are security issues and whatnot with that one..

 

I don't need many features, just a solid torrent program that works well.

 

The reason why I'm asking about this is because OCRemix has their Mega Torrent file of 3,000 remixes and I am wanting to download that as well as Humble Bundle games possibly.

 

I am not looking for torrent programs to pirate other programs, games, or other media.

uTorrent is just fine. No security issues, but really disturbing ads if you opt for free version.

BITTORRENT?

I have good experience with Vuze.

Utorrent just download an old version without the ads.

[j.dirona]

utorrent is good, just either don't look at the ads or get the plus version

Utorrent is what i use, but the new versions urk me.

I use like version 2.0.1 from like 2010 or something

Has no ads, does what I need. 

No particular reason I use uTorrent, no advantages that I go to it for, but it's what I'm used to.

I use qBittorrent. /shrug

I switched around a couple torrent software after uTorrent went commercial, ended up with Tixati. I like it thus far, been using it for over a year now and haven't got a problem with it, it's highly customizable as well.

What kind of ads are on utorrent that scare you guys so much? 

[EarthboundHero]

I use Tixati.

[Speedyv]

I use Tixati

[thekeemo]

you can disable the ads in the free version

[Yayap7]

Hmm ok, good input.

Thanks for the suggestions and clarifications!

[Mooshi]

Utorrent or go home. As for ads, don't stare at them. No real reason to constantly stare at a client meant to run in the background anyway.

Between uTorrent and Tixati, which one uses less activity on CPU and such?

I don't have a fast net connection(7Mb/s down and 1.2mb/s up) and I know torrents can sometimes take a long time to download so I don't want to taking up a lot of usage in the background.

Does it matter? The difference is trivial at best. You might as well be able to save a similar amount of processing time by not moving your mouse as often. 

 

As for utorrent, 2.2.1 or a previous legacy version is going to be the best.

I use Deluge. Open source and is created in Python and GTK+. It's a simple program and has a bit of plugins from the community. It's not the most popular but I don't do any fancy torrenting myself, mainly anime.

[Sheldon_King]

I personally use Transmission, as it is simple to use and is just there in most Linux distros (thus no extra installs necessary aside from in windows).

[interneteducated]

i use the built in manager in torch, it's a web browser based on chromium with a couple of really useful add-ons

[Ace Lean]

I seriously would have to recommend you use Vuze! It is fantastic!

Utorrent
