That's not a fair comparison, rewriting anything in any lisp will dramatically reduce the amount of cruft, both lines of code and complexity.

Doubt. Plus, essential complexity is non-reducible.

Essential complexity I agree, you cannot get rid of (hence the whole "essential" part). However, when you program, lots of non-essential complexity sneaks in. If you've only ever written code in one language, I bet you wouldn't even be able to notice what is essential vs non-essential.

At my previous job, we re-did some Java stream processing stuff in Clojure. We added functionality, made it more stable and dropped 6K lines of code (out of 18K for that particular component) in the process. It felt like magic...

It is still a LOC reduction produced via rewrite. I don't think we should hold it against them that they choose a great target language for the rewrite...

I kind of thought the project was dead with how long it went without a release. I ended up switching to qBittorrent about 8 months ago as I needed v2 torrent support. So far I have been very satisfied with the switch.

I was a long time user of transmission, but when I redid my *arr setup I devided to go to qbittorrent.

qBittorrent can handle way more simultaneous connections and torrents than transmission. It doesn't slow down, it supports tags, categories and even custom UI (vue-qbittorrent is awesome).

I'm not going back, especially when you have great docker images with WireGuard integrated in them.

Transmission is a no-go because it lacks proxy support, which is absurd.

Which indexers do you use?

Quite a few people I know use https://nzbs.in/login/ and swear by it. The admins of that site try to masquerade it as another WordPress site. Ingenious. But it is by far the biggest, and the best I am told.

It's so well masqueraded that there doesn't even seem to be a way to sign up!

so you say there is no benefit for me to switch from qbit to transmission for ocassional torrent download? I seed only during download or very shortly after and at max I download 10-15 torrents

I never torrent for ethical reasons, but I just jumped onto soap2day to check if they had something that I've been on the lookout for (Abacus: Small Enough to Jail) and they don't have it.

s/torrent/pirate? context for unaware: torrents are more general. for example, official releases of open source operating systems, such as debian [1], are available via torrents. [1]: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-dvd/

I'm pretty sure HN users know what torrents mean. Context does the rest.

I don't think there is any benefit in switching, no.

You can even set proper limits in qbittorrent for your workflow to stop the seeding after X minutes.
