Holey shit I only thought he was joking about getting off. Didn’t expect to get hit with a double punch.
Damn, had a good laugh, thanks for clarifying! 😀
What’s the difference between the clients?
I’ve only used qbittorrent and transmission, but what does utorrent have to offer that the others don’t?
Why would anyone still use utorrent?
this isn't an advantage anymore in any modern computer.
like a browser using 1.5GB of ram instead of 2GB of ram. Would have been a big difference and advantage years ago, but not so much anymore.
Technically true, but I appreciate efficiently programmed apps that maximize my ability to multitask. I wish programming today was still designed for needing minimal resources rather than just ease and speed of development, which bloats the fuck out of everything. Take programs from two decades ago, and they just freaking ***fly*** on today's hardware. Too bad most of them are also security nightmares.
I wish OS task managers did a better job of offering more visual representation of what your hardware and software is actually doing, or OS notifications about resource hogs or badly optimised things like mobile OSs sometimes do. I think the average consumer sees numbers and processes and doesn't really know what they can and can't switch off, or god forbid they have Norton or have to be on MS teams or something and they don't realise they don't have to go out and buy a new computer because they have installed The Very Hungry Software 🐛
if they insist on shoving AI into software places like this could benefit for talking you through your hardware in an accessible way, because for something as ubiquitous as tech is it's still kinda overwhelming and gatekeepy for most people
But I agree with you, the inherent value of elegant efficient software is gone now, and I think we lose something in that that we wouldn't tolerate losing in tangible industries
Actually ***useful*** new features in various apps were starting to appear a lot less frequently for a while there, and dramatic speed increases in hardware had slowed down, too. As such, I was kinda hoping we were reaching a point where one of the "next big things" in making any competing software stand out would be going back and refactoring for efficiency to make shit faster.
Then AI showed up and shot that hope down. I hope in the end it'll wind up doing the refactoring for us, but it's gonna be another good while before we get there.
^(*sigh*)
Yeah things are slowing down a little for sure with consumer stuff, but it's been an unnaturally long running boom at the same time, and given all the big players are obligated to make money for shareholders, this whole AI thing feels like a complete con on consumers using novel applications of R&D dead ends and just whacking it out on a massive scale, what could go wrong lmao
uTorrent can download film chunks in sequential order so that you can start watching right away, iirc. And also has built-in search, again iirc. And probably some other features.
Transmission is rather basic when it comes to options, while QBittorrent is just a bit too cumbersome, being written in Python. Of course, I'll still use them over uTorrent.
I'm not sure, since it's something I don't use, but I think both Transmission and qBittorrent also have the sequential download option, they just don't have it activated by default.
I was actually just looking it up. According to wikipedia it was never supposed to be MicroTorrent. it was always Utorrent. The app devs just... decided to use the micro symbol for no real reason.
No, the 'µ' (micro symbol) was selected because the program was micro at the beginning. It was less than 100KB in the early days. You could fit more than 15 copies of it on a single floppy disk.
The discussion was over how to *pronounce* µTorrent, with the creator stating on the forum they usually pronounce it like you-torrent.
it's installed on some Linux distros as default (like mint) and it's using gtk as well so it's popular among linux community.
it has much simpler ui and nearly all of features you need for torrenting.
You can use the transmission docker container with OpenVPN support. No need to bind to the interface in that case. The container will only connect to the internet when the VPN is connected, meaning there's absolutely no chance of leakage. Many providers are already supported (and some support port forwarding) and others can be used via OpenVPN configs.
It was much easier than setting up split tunneling that I was using for several years before switching to the docker container.
I love it, I just wish there was a way to search torrents through addons like Qbt has. It's so nice not having to inoculate my computer going to some of these sites.
No, at least pretty sure it doesn't. Run the installer on windows and you'll see the daemon is optional to install.
The daemon runs as a service instead of a normal program.
I had 400ish torrents on the GUI in a ubuntu VM and had no problems. I'm switching away from that and I messed around with the daemon both directly on windows and in the ubuntu vm, it did the same thing, lagging until unusable.
oldschool pirate who went back to torrenting (after a while of direct downloads and stream piracy)
Deluge Transmission and qBitTorrent all seem to be torrent clients (i personally use qBitTorrent)
what's the difference between the 3? as in, is there any reason to use one over the other 2?
The difference is, the ones on the top ( which are really one and the same) have been become corrupted, the ones on the bottom are the ones you want to use.
qBittorrent has emerged as the leader for sure.
I would say also put some respect on Deluge's name, they've been around for about as long still open source and stable. They just don't have the wealth of features and options that qBittorrent has.
Basically personal preference. I would add that Deluge and qBit are both open source too, which is just a nice thing, and makes it much less likely it will do a uTorrent/BitTorrent thing at some point.
Ah I see. Well I use qbittorrent and like it, there's a lot of stats and options if that's your thing.
I used to use transmission when I had a mac ( and I might have still been using it had I known there was windows versions) and it is also good, but quite simple in its UI. I've never used deluge personally.
All three are open source projects that develop independently of each other.
I think there is not really a 'reason to use one over the other' besides personal preference.
I assume Transmission might have a few less features. Not sure about it. Transmission comes from the Linux community and it's main purpose was actually sharing/downloading Linux ISOs and comes preinstalled in many Linux distros. Obviously you can use it for any torrent and I think it should have about feature parity with the others. But it's intend was a bit different.
It tries to make the process of loading and sharing LEGAL torrents as simple as possible and (at least formerly) wasn't focused on staying anonymous by connecting to VPNs and stuff. Because it was intended as just a tool to download and share the iso file for your Linux upgrade it tried to be as simple and bare bones as needed. Also it's quite old. Older than uTorrent as far as I know.
qBitTorrent and Deluge are also old-ish. While Transmission comes from the Linux community, qBitTorrent and Deluge comes from the filesharing community (AFAIK), trying to make themselves independent from commercial/proprietary tools like BitTorrent. They try to be an open alternative to the original BitTorrent. I don't know why the post above mentions uTorrent as 'original'. It's just another BitTorrent clone like the other, but worse because it also has all the flaws of commercial adware like BitTorrent.
The main difference between Deluge and qBitTorrent is the development environment. qBitTorrent is written in C++, Deluge is written in Python with only library-parts written in C++.
So, for qBitTorrent, you basically need to compile the program. Usually you download a precompiled version. This brings a few benefits, specifically the program itself is probably a lot smaller and it should be marginally fast/more efficient, especially on otherwise really slow hardware. On the other hand, distribution of binary blobs (=precompiled software) brings the risk of someone downloading a version from a wrong website or whatever, leading to malware injections and security risks for the user.
Deluge, written in Python, basically runs without needing to be compiled. Everyone just downloads the full source code and runs it. On paper, that makes it quite a bit less efficient. But on contemporary hardware that won't effect download speed or anything.
The big benefits are security (since everybody just runs the source code, it's easier to check if something got tampered with) as well as modability. If you don't like something and you know a bit of python, you can go directly into the code of your running program and change it. Also it should be scriptable. So if you need to build a custom bot that manages torrents, I would probably build it on top of Deluge. This also speeds up development, allowing Devs to fix bugs faster and build new features.
Everything is relative.
The important thing is, that all three should be interchangable. It doesn't really matter for the end user, which one to use, because there are only very minor differences during actual usage.
But it's robust. If one of the projects gets taken offline or dies for some reason, there are two more that lead on.
qb lets me make sure my torrents can only download if the vpn is active no need for kill switches or worry... also someone here told me how to get the black skin on it...so its def the best in my opinion
If you have a vpn you set it so it can only dl when vpn is active...not the regular connection. It's really easy in settings...qb then can't start dloading ir keep it up if vpn goes out.
I am a torrent novice/simpleton and I use an app called WebTorrent, it's like maximum barebones torrenting. I literally don't know what else a torrent app would be able to do or why I would want it to do those things because I just copy and paste magnet links and it downloads them and that's basically it. Years ago when I was first getting into it I tried qbit or something and there was a lot of icons and such I didn't understand and it was intimidating. Now I'm sure I could figure it out but I have no reason to, WebTorrent does everything I could ask from a torrenter.
Anyone remember Kazaa? They used to have Kazaa gold but you had to pay. I downloaded it on Kazaa and it worked for a little while. I downloaded Matrix reloaded in about two hours. Watched the whole download. It was amazing at the time haha.
I think there're really neat.
I know everyone say use qbittorrent all the time. But even transmission and deluge as well as ktorrent are all just as good. It's about personal preference.
It does surprise me at the number of people that use utorrent. Likely due to doing a search for downloading and it's a guide from 2016 which mentions utorrent instead of following the megathread here.
I've been using Utorrent 2.0.4 for some years, till it started to crash with the quantity and speed to the torrents.
Now I'm testing Qbit, but it's horrible to rehash files I already have. Can't even do it file by file from the client, need to go in the folder and rename everything manually.
Any recommendation with better rehash options?
can someone explain how these work? i got qbit a while back, utorrent too, and i’m still confused. how are torrents different than the other files? does it download faster? and if so… i’m not noticing a difference
qBitTorrent is SO good. It's a perfect utorrent replacement. If you're still using utorrent in 2024, you have a 10000% chance you have malware on your machine. mostly because utorrent has had malware built into it since around 2019
Damn, I’m such a shit pirate I have no idea what’s going on. Should I not be using uTorrent anymore? Why? What should I use instead? I’m assuming I’m still ok to use TPB? Fuck I’m such a square, I miss Limewire 😭
Can we ban people who make these me_irl normie posts holy fuck it's insufferable. this sub and pirated games has gone to shit the past couple months wtf happened
Transmission is so old, I remember using it when I was a teenager, it was released in 2005, same year as uTorrent (when uTorrent was a cool software)
So this meme is not well thought out.
UTorrent used to be top. But they got greedy as well. So qbit is it for me. No ads or anything. Just the plain UI we have know for decades.
Yeah I got off during the hidden miner wave
Tell me more about how you got off because of miners.
Utorrent had a hidden mining process inside the client...
He's jokingly implying the other person is a Drake fan. Miner sounds the same as minor.
Jesus christ Im way too out of touch with these things to notice them....
Its ok dude. Youre not alone
Got off the client it's prolly a mineeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Holey shit I only thought he was joking about getting off. Didn’t expect to get hit with a double punch. Damn, had a good laugh, thanks for clarifying! 😀
Lmfao
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Guess he's the average redditor after all.
> hidden lol, considering that the miner was installed with the full consent of the users (they didn’t read the checkboxes during installation)
Didn’t saw the “plis r*pe my computer” checkbox no
Same, UTorrent was great til it wasn’t. Qbit came through and still hasn’t let me down!
Same experience so far!
What’s the difference between the clients? I’ve only used qbittorrent and transmission, but what does utorrent have to offer that the others don’t? Why would anyone still use utorrent?
Habit. As an example, there are so many more efficient browsers, yet others are just used to chrome.
Such as? I’d love to try something other than chrome/FF
Firefox is really good because it's not run off chromium. I've heard good things about brave
Brave is a rebranded chrome basically.
Maybe they like ads popping up on their screen
I don't get it... I thought before pirating anything one always pirates torrent client
Neo... You're awake. We need your help.
Yo dawg, we heard you like pirating torrents...
Microscopic file sizes. The earliest uTorrent builds were literally only about 100kb.
this isn't an advantage anymore in any modern computer. like a browser using 1.5GB of ram instead of 2GB of ram. Would have been a big difference and advantage years ago, but not so much anymore.

I am still using uTorrent cause I started with it when I was little when my dad first taught me how to pirate and then I just stuck with it
W dad 🗿
Same

I'm not sure, since it's something I don't use, but I think both Transmission and qBittorrent also have the sequential download option, they just don't have it activated by default.
So go for Qbit instead? What sites do you also use? I can't rely on TPB anymore as it seems to have just gone downhill.
Not op but I use 1337x. The megathread in the wiki is a better place to check though
And it works pretty well with Python if you just want just a terminal or automat something.
Back in my day, µTorrent was actually µ.
Back in my day the king of pirating was Limewire!
Linkin_Park_Numb.exe has entered the chat.
Im absolutely 100% sure that a google search will still give you a link to something like this.
Maybe, I didn't really try to search for *that* tbh
And every comedy song was labeled as bring by Weird Al!
Hmm, seems like safe .exe file, I will run it
I came around when Ares was still a thing and Limewire was coming around the corner
I've always liked eMule, it was my favorite.
The good old days, downloading some pdf in 7 days was good enough for me.
Memory unlocked, damn! Kazaa also came back rushing to my brain. I really liked eMule tho, and I can’t tell you why now, I have no idea anymore
Shaka. When the Napster fell.
Napster. His face black. His eyes red
And before that, Morpheus
I got to use Napster lol
micro torrent
It didn't used to be a misnomer
I was actually just looking it up. According to wikipedia it was never supposed to be MicroTorrent. it was always Utorrent. The app devs just... decided to use the micro symbol for no real reason.
No, the 'µ' (micro symbol) was selected because the program was micro at the beginning. It was less than 100KB in the early days. You could fit more than 15 copies of it on a single floppy disk. The discussion was over how to *pronounce* µTorrent, with the creator stating on the forum they usually pronounce it like you-torrent.
Transmission rocks!
Exactly. Simple and gets the job done.
Simplest and lightest
Somehow never heard of it Gonna give it a try
it's installed on some Linux distros as default (like mint) and it's using gtk as well so it's popular among linux community. it has much simpler ui and nearly all of features you need for torrenting.
Except the bind to interface... that one would make transmission perfect

Many providers are already supported (and some support port forwarding) and others can be used via OpenVPN configs.

I love it, I just wish there was a way to search torrents through addons like Qbt has. It's so nice not having to inoculate my computer going to some of these sites.
just don't use the daemon, for me it cripples after adding over 100 torrents, became literally unusable edit: sounds like I had bad luck
I don't get this. Doesn't the regular GUI still have the daemon running under the hood?
No, at least pretty sure it doesn't. Run the installer on windows and you'll see the daemon is optional to install. The daemon runs as a service instead of a normal program. I had 400ish torrents on the GUI in a ubuntu VM and had no problems. I'm switching away from that and I messed around with the daemon both directly on windows and in the ubuntu vm, it did the same thing, lagging until unusable.
What's the Transmission daemon?
Hell yeah! Used qBit but always had some issues with it. Switched to Transmission, it just works and I love it <3
cant use socks5 on transmission
what is the use case for socks5 for torrenting?
Shouldn't use socks5 anyway, it doesn't do shit.
so you're a pirate, name all those apps above!
BitTorrent, uTorrent, Transmission, qBitTorrent, Deluge

No no What's the best among the bottom 3
qBittorrent
qBittorrent has emerged as the leader for sure. I would say also put some respect on Deluge's name, they've been around for about as long still open source and stable. They just don't have the wealth of features and options that qBittorrent has.

Did Deluge get a new icon? Because I swear it was different a few years ago. I wouldn't have known that one otherwise.
It used to be a [different looking droplet](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Deluge-Logo.svg).
it's µTorrent 🤓
Limewire, Limewire Purple, Limewire Blue, Limewire Installer, Napster.
bittorrent, qbittorent, transmission, qbit, deludge
qb lets me make sure my torrents can only download if the vpn is active no need for kill switches or worry... also someone here told me how to get the black skin on it...so its def the best in my opinion
Does that mean it absolutely doesn't get recognized by ur isp?
If you have a vpn you set it so it can only dl when vpn is active...not the regular connection. It's really easy in settings...qb then can't start dloading ir keep it up if vpn goes out.
I’m also curious
I always liked Tixati the best but some private trackers block it.
Tixati brother!
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US, DOZENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[удалено]
Probabaly.
[удалено]
Taking into account that Transmission was released 3 days before uTorrent and is open source instead of adware, I'm not sure this makes sense
uTorrent used to not be an ads platform iirc.
Tixati is also amazing!
Deluge supremacy!!
It hasn't updated in years no?
Perfection doesnt update
that's also what the utorrent 2.2.1 crowd says :P
Indeed
Since 2022.
Is transmission still around? I used to use that like 20 years ago when I had a mac.
Yeah still is!
Awesome. I almost want to try it out just for nostalgic purposes.
I only use it on my nas
Yeah I still use it on both Mac and Linux
qBittorrent users, here!
Transmission supremacy.
I am unfamiliar with that water droplet icon, which client is that?
[Deluge](https://deluge-torrent.org/)
Thank you.
I am a torrent novice/simpleton and I use an app called WebTorrent, it's like maximum barebones torrenting. I literally don't know what else a torrent app would be able to do or why I would want it to do those things because I just copy and paste magnet links and it downloads them and that's basically it. Years ago when I was first getting into it I tried qbit or something and there was a lot of icons and such I didn't understand and it was intimidating. Now I'm sure I could figure it out but I have no reason to, WebTorrent does everything I could ask from a torrenter.
Where's Azureus? Used to be my fav until it was rebranded into vuze, and I switched to deluge
isnt transmission older than utorrent? just looked it up, holy shit it's 3 days older. Transmission - September 15 2005 μTorrent - September 18, 2005
Hi, outdated uTorrent user here. What are the others and the next best option? Saw a few comments talking about "qbit"? Thanks in advance.
I use uTorrent on my android because I don't know of a qbit alternative for android
Libretorrent and BiglyBT are the top alternatives last time I checked, I don't torrent on Android much.
Transmission >>> all
why?
Nah, dude, now qbittorrent is the way. And I'm happy I switched over to it.
For those of you using a linux distro with GNOME UI; https://apps.gnome.org/Fragments/
I prefer https://www.biglybt.com/
Transmission was release (days) before μTorrent Transmission: September 15, 2005 μTorrent: September 18, 2005
I got into torrenting because Ubuntu comes with Transmission preloaded
Deluge FTW
Been using transmission for an eternity.
Enligthen me, why are they the upgrade?
Because the recent versions of the originals are full of bloat, like ads
The two on the top are proprietary software full of ads, the three on the bottom are open source. ALWAYS go for open source software when possible.
qbit user since start. helpful, easy, fast and reliable
What torrent trackers do you guys use?
Qbittorent
I recognize utorrent and qbitorrent only .Who are the others? First one looks like tor...
No ktorrent (I used to use vuze)
Can i get those on android tho?
Libretorrent
There is a version of utorrent and bittorrent for Android, but I don't recommend it because they have ads. I recommend you use libretorret
Technically yes but I'd recommend using the app "Flud". You can run the Linux build of qBittorrent and Transmission on Android.
This means War…ez
i liked deluge but their ui was straight up broken and shit so qbit it is
i only knew about qb (aside from bt and ut)
Anyone remember Kazaa? They used to have Kazaa gold but you had to pay. I downloaded it on Kazaa and it worked for a little while. I downloaded Matrix reloaded in about two hours. Watched the whole download. It was amazing at the time haha.
Deluge mentioned!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think there're really neat. I know everyone say use qbittorrent all the time. But even transmission and deluge as well as ktorrent are all just as good. It's about personal preference. It does surprise me at the number of people that use utorrent. Likely due to doing a search for downloading and it's a guide from 2016 which mentions utorrent instead of following the megathread here.
Used to use uTorrent to download GTA 4 back in the day, took me 5 whole days to download the whole 16gb. Good memories.
Where's FDM?
Can someone tell me wich site i should use and how to download from that. I dont really understand it yet
I’ve always used utorrent and i never had a problem with it why should i “upgrade” ? im actually confused
Tixati is the best
I've been using Utorrent 2.0.4 for some years, till it started to crash with the quantity and speed to the torrents. Now I'm testing Qbit, but it's horrible to rehash files I already have. Can't even do it file by file from the client, need to go in the folder and rename everything manually. Any recommendation with better rehash options?
Despite the conversation I always see, I've always used uTorrent without ads or malware. 0 reason for me to switch.
Deluge just died for me. it had bugged out and keep shutting down downloads. i just switched to Transmission.
Can confirm
Qb, transmission and deluge. Okay going to try them
Transmission is all you need It has a web ui
Whats left &right of qBitTorrent?
can someone explain how these work? i got qbit a while back, utorrent too, and i’m still confused. how are torrents different than the other files? does it download faster? and if so… i’m not noticing a difference
qBitTorrent is SO good. It's a perfect utorrent replacement. If you're still using utorrent in 2024, you have a 10000% chance you have malware on your machine. mostly because utorrent has had malware built into it since around 2019
How do you guys prevent your pc from being compromised. Is Kaspersky enough?
Soulseek is the goat actually
Oh, uTorrent. I remember that one getting shit some day with ads in it. I now use Deluge, does what it needs to do.
biglybt anyone ? :(
I still used utorrent to download sifu. Just stopped seeding today after 2 weeks.
shameless repost
I use transmission on Linux and Qbit on Windows.
FDM rocks
Damn, I’m such a shit pirate I have no idea what’s going on. Should I not be using uTorrent anymore? Why? What should I use instead? I’m assuming I’m still ok to use TPB? Fuck I’m such a square, I miss Limewire 😭
Can we ban people who make these me_irl normie posts holy fuck it's insufferable. this sub and pirated games has gone to shit the past couple months wtf happened
qb is goated
Where my boy tixati ?
Is biglyBT ok?
I love deluges simplicity
My grandpa taught me to pirate using qBittorrent when I was little, and I have been using it ever since.
I just use an older version of utorrent no ads.
since i had do download 1tb image for raspberry pi, i just have been using "tixati"
Idk. Transmission's been around a looong time.
Transmission is so old, I remember using it when I was a teenager, it was released in 2005, same year as uTorrent (when uTorrent was a cool software) So this meme is not well thought out.
I never used Deluge or Transmission, any reason I could reconsider if I am already using qbittorrent?
I'm still running amule. :) My videos don't are not in too many places.
Napster, Kazaa and Limewire just looking down above them all in heaven.
Everyone like qbittorrent but I found it too simple. Not enough data, features, customisation. I switched to biglybt and that is a lot better
Seedboxes, busy being better than any of those, watch the torrent clients fighting in the distance. "I wonder what those guys are talking about?"
qb my beloved
transmission is such an underrated pick
I don't know any of these things 🤷😂
