>>1086 (OP) 
I used to use μTorrent years ago but stopped after it started to get a reputation for being a bit sketchy. Deluge is now my main torrent client, although I'm not even sure why I began using it in the first place. Back when I was using Windows, I sometimes had problems with Deluge not working and would also use Vuze. I know there was a point where I used qBittorrent too and am not sure why I stopped. I haven't had any problems with Deluge in Linux so far other than trying to load a massive torrent once that it couldn't seem to handle. In that one instance, I used Transmission instead just because I already had it installed.

Transmission has a windows client now so there's no reason to use anything else if you're on bloatware
It's been a while but I think I used rtorrent for CLI torrenting and think I would again. Transmission is still preferable to whatever that other gui linux one is from what I recall, it's good.
>qbittorrent
Cringe. The benign explanation would be that he's a glownigger but most likely the maintainer is just some soyfreak asshole. He's intentionally broken the UI because he doesn't like people having control over the software they use and the result is just that the same people defacto don't seed but they show up as peers and anyone using his product can't trust their own settings in a program that's barely par with fucking utorrent at the best of times.

I've used halite in the past. It's charmingly shitty, the way amateur projects often are.

qBittorent user to, because I try it maybe... 20 years ago and was satisfied by it. I used Transmission a bit because it was packaged in my Linux distro.

Care to elaborate on why qBittorrent sucks ?

Been using qBittorent for ages and it does everything I need it to, got no reason to use anything else.

none of 'em are perfect, but rTorrent with ruTorrent is the coziest. you can do lots of stuff with rTorrent and their are plenty of plugins

>qStalledTorrent
Used it once and hated it, if it couldn't find any peers within five seconds it stalled everything out and you had to restart each torrent.
I used Tixati for a while and liked it, but it was proprietary and not ideal for my setup. I've now transitioned to a fully Linux-based environment and have Transmission 3 running from my home server with a web interface I use for managing torrents. Zero complaints, except the interface is very very slow to update and freezes the whole page when fetching current downloads/uploads.

using og utorrent. some old version before it became bloated.

I've torrented before, but I never seeded. Felt like a pure leach, like I need to contribute more, if only seeding what I already downloaded.

I need a pirate box!

I get a weird joy out of watching the funny numbers go up/down as I seed. I especially like leaving a dead torrent running for weeks or even months to complete from one guy uploading at 1KB/s in Uzbekistan so I can seed it at acceptable speeds for everyone else.

that is weirdly fun. I also like to test my knowledge by guessing the country flags through the peer list. getting pretty good at it too!

>>1329
Transmission web interface I use doesn't show country flags which is the part I miss the most, I like seeing Ivan or Paco downloading a 200GB show at 1KB/s for three weeks

It makes me happy when I see the whole world get along to steal software.
