>software that /g/ says is good but really isn't when you actually try it for yourself.

This shity qBittorrent stalls torrents, has I/O errors, and it lost my settings and torrents when my power went out a few weeks ago.

Fuck you guys for memeing me into it.

Went back to uTorrent because it just fucking works.

I'm partial to deluge, and it seems most private trackers accept it. Lightweight, clean and simple.

On a similar note, what FTP clients do you all prefer? I've been using CuteFTP since the ability to run two or eight threads on a single file helps mitigate what seem to be shitty FTP speeds everywhere I go.

Problem is uTorrent newer versions are shit, and a lot of priv trackers ban older ones due to exploits.

So people have turned to qB, deluge, and others.

Personally I'm just about done with private trackers since my favorite one (Bib) seems to be gone now, and a lot of them are getting assfucked lately by attacks. Probably better to just VPN + pub torrent.

>>51732268

You're delusional if you think that just about any private tracker that has more than a thousand users isn't easily infiltrated by those who do all the copyright trolling. They have more resources than any of you fucking virgins that waddle your fat thumbs into IRC and say "can I haz invite" with a fucking cat jpeg on your dropbox with some ratios next to it from some other shit trackers that are also infiltrated.

I wouldn't even use a private tracker nowadays without a reputable VPN like mull or nord.

I noticed no sound quality differences and I really don't care about customizing my player because my player is always in the background where I don't even see it.

Bitcomet tb.h fa.ms. Always get full speed on decent torrents. Can open ports if you're modem is configured to allow your pc to access it's settings remotely withut logging in, and if it's shitty via some exploits. Shitty but pretty customizable ui. Can be taxing on your whole network if it's not some capped university wifi. Can slow down your pc et al. But it's the fastest torrent client for windows. Transmission is imo the best for linux. Macs probably detect torrent stuff as trojans because muh security, muh ux.

Because it's a clunky mess. I use Transmission for 10 different private trackers and it just werkz.

Is qB really that much less bloated though?

it worked after I uninstalled 3.3, used 3.2.5 to recheck. stopped torrent, restarted than updated.

They are trolling, I have had same problem with qBittorrent, whereas Deluge has given me zero problems with the same torrents on the same hardware. "Buy an SSD" is not a valid recommendation for fixing a software problem. Transmission is breddy gud, but it feels bare-bones to me. Don't go back to uTorrent though, seriously, they have been putting awful things into that like bitcoin miners and don't care about the end user, literally everything is better just on principal.
