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.

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

I use like version 2.0.1 from like 2010 or something

http://www.oldversion.com/windows/utorrent-2-0-1

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. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

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.

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.

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).
