If someone asks me to install a Torrent client on a single machine, my favorite would be QBittorrent, however at home I use XigmaNAS' Transmission client extensively, and operate it from other machines in the LAN using the Transgui interface (also available on Windows and MacOS). This allows me to turn off everything but the NAS, which with all RAID disks spun down and a TDP of 15 Watts makes for some good energy sav…

Qbittorrent unfortunately turned into a buggy mess and has no leadership. The github has hundreds of known issues that are not addressed. No qbittorrent client works reliably on Windows or Mac for at least a year or two. It gets hung up scanning downloaded torrents etc.

Good to see it being in active development. But the one feature I'm waiting for is a network whitelist. For example, it should never connect over my home or office network, but only via anonymous VPN. (Edit: I know you can do this already with firewall rules, or containers, but I don't trust myself to not make a mistake. Ideally this should be part of the OS. You should be able to right-click somewhere in the window…

As a Chinese, I really need the anti leeching capabilities, as too many people here use Xunlei that only download but never upload. Sad to see that the maintainers skip this again.

I just read that Xunlei is the most popular BitTorrent client in China. Does it not upload to none Xunlei clients or does it leech Bittorent entirely? I can’t imagine one that is a pure leech could exist without harming BitTorrent

15.7 MB binary on macOS, in an age where it's usual to deliver a 400 MB Electron package. I kneel.

I have to agree with them, it’s antithetical to what torrent is about.
