I don’t do much with BitTorrent other than download Linux isos. What’s the advantage to Deluge over Transmission? (which is what I’ve always used since the whole uTorrent controversy)

The biggest difference to me is that the UI is different and more closely aligned to uTorrent which IMO is less good looking but a little more practical.

Personally I use transmission, but I’m not a heavy torrent user.

qBittorrent is in my experience nice as well.

I especially like the feature to download something sequentially, so that you can stream it via a media player, much like how Netflix or Popcorn Time works.

I've found qBittorrent a bit more performant than Deluge, or at least it felt that way.

BiglyBT is also great if you used Azureus back in the day.

If you point it at your .torrent folder it will rename all your torrents to their hash value. This might not be what you want (enrage you)

Otherwise its cool.

Deluge can work in client-server mode, which is great if you have an always-on home server, but use the client on your laptop.

No need to worry if you can suspend your laptop or go away, the torrents will download and/or uninetrrupted.

This is also great if you want to seed the iso images and lower your distros' hosting bills, and not just "hit and run" (download and stop).
