Deluge still hasn't had an official Windows release for 2.x, and it's been that way since 2019. Been using qBittorrent for a while now and like it far more than the (currently outdated) version of Deluge I had been using. Not really sure why this was posted here to be honest.

> Deluge still hasn't had an official Windows release for 2.x, and it's been that way since 2019. This is GPL software made by people in their free time, for free. Apparently, the intersection of "people who want a Windows release", "people who have the skill to do it" and "people who want to do it for free" is empty. If you belong to all 3 groups, then please go ahead and provide a Windows release. If you don't then…

It is indeed free, and so those the competition out there, like Transmission and qBittorrent.

Sure they won't lose any money, but they'll lose their userbase and the potential interest of contributors if they don't make any progress. It's a vicious circle.

Transmission had malware? Link?

Yes, several times https://blog.malwarebytes.com/threat-analysis/2016/09/transm...

Thanks for that, I'm getting rid of transmission. So sad. Do you wanna suggest a client? I value apps which are light in resources with fast ui

I'm with you. I was actually expecting a message about it being hacked or something similar to when Transmission had malware added to a version of it.

Looks like it was in 2016, and discussed here:
