>>101563991>trans missionEveryone uses qBittorrent fuck off tranny
>>101563991tranmssion rarely goes above 3mb/s for me, sometimes it does jumps and then quickly slows down again, while qbt is 11mb/s stable, wonder if this is the same issue
>>101563991>not using qbittorrentcouldn't be me
>>101563991Transmission has always felt slow to me compared to qbit. I still use it sometimes because of it's minimal ui
>>101563991>Looks like Transmission is finally starting to catch up with libtorrent thanks to new devs.good, it really fell like it was getting outdated
>>101563991So I made the right call avoiding Transmission since forever and just sticking to Deluge 1.3.15?
>>101563991Weird, it just works on my machine
>>101564166I'm not reading that essay

As long as they don't increase resource usage, that's cool. I don't really care about speeds, but I care about RAM and CPU. It's the only reason I use transmission.
>>101565361Deluge is only good because it uses libtorrent. The rest of it is garbage.
>>101566295You know qBittorent is a C++ program, right?
>qbitTrash client. Needs third party software to fix basic features like searching for torrents that got deleted from the tracker
>>101568429That is always improving. Its a minimal bloat client.
>>101569015Libtorrent is trash
>>101566295They should rewrite in rust
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>4.1>upcomingThey should use a different word here because 4.1 has almost zero sense of forthcoming urgency. I've been stuck merging potential PRs by hand for years. Literal years. 4.1 just became their 'oh yeah not now but later' version that's ballooned in scope to a comical degree.
>>101571775All C++ torrent clients will eventually become rust clients Transmission and qBittorrent will become rust someday. It is only a matter of time.
>>101563991I started using Transmission two days ago due to Qbittorrent constantly freezing on me when I try to select a directory to save the file into. I may have to make Transmission as my default torrent client if Qbittorrent is forever broken on my Linux pc
>>101564166 will left wing faggots ever realize chud is not an offensive word, it sounds like some gay sci-fi fiction shit like cyberpunk had with choom
>>101563991its also entirely single threaded and the whole interface will hang during heavy operations
>>101572888Yep. This is their number one issue. Once Transmission becomes multithreaded, it will be tied with qBittorrent for speed. There are literally only 3 open source torrent clients these days. https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/2462This will take a lot of work. Maybe a rust dev will end up doing it.
>>101563991damn I knew trannymission was bad, but didn't know it was this bad.
>>101563991Wouldnt matter in my cucked country for speeds, we have the worst internet speeds on earth.>t.arsetralian
>>101572842Based if true
>>101563991this wouldn't have happened in Rust!
>>101573607I predict rtorrent will be the first torrent client to be refactored to rust because it is simpler than Transmission and qBittorent.
>>101573206There are 2 reasons that Transmission has lagged behind qBittorrent:1) Transmission has only been on Mac and Linux until they got a Windows port in 3.0 while qbittorrent has always been on Windows, Mac and Linux2) When uTorrent turned into a botnet, everybody promoted qbittorrent as the successor, so it basically swallowed up most of the uTorrent userbase, thus becoming the most popular torrent client and thus getting the most development.
>>101573672I predict you're a manual breather
>>101573721it's the backends that matter, and libtorrent and libTorrent (rtorrent) have always been the gold standard.
What CLI torrent client should I use now.
>Looks like Transmission is finally starting to catch up with libtorrent thanks to new devs.There was never any need to. Transmission has worked perfectly for years and unlike libtorrent-rasterbar clients it actually fucking works properly.
>>101574161Tranny
>>101573923What about ktorrent?
>>101574385Transmission is rock solid stable but it is not multithreaded like libtorrent so you can't say there are no pros and cons for each of them.
>uses 'tracker' wrongly
kyle, we told you to not download these files.
>>101568068>he's actually aware of the stalled issue that the qBittorrent has that will never get fixed and he still uses that objectively shitty torrent client anywayYou're dumb.I guess you could say that your brain's development has been stalled since you were a child!

>>101575095looks like libktorrent is completely unrelated to libtorrent or rtorrent
>>101575175I'm not the anon you were replying to, and yes, seems to be unrelated. I wonder if it's still supported though... KDE loves ditching its applications and rediscovering the wheel.
>>101574487Awnser the question, chud
>>101563991what blocklist can I use to block india?
>>101573721>1) Transmission has only been on Mac and Linux until they got a Windows port in 3.0 while qbittorrent has always been on Windows, Mac and LinuxWhat kind of cope is this? I used transmission on windows literally over a decade ago.
>>101575007>4 buttonsIt's shit, you can keep you AMABDIAL8. I real drinking fountain has a bar across the front.
>>101575175>looks like libktorrent is completely unrelated to libtorrent or rtorrentSo there's actually 4 major open source torrent libraries. Interesting.
>>101575294Transmission tard
>>101575175>>101575095>>101574663I wonder if libktorrent could be used to make another torrent client that actually works on Windows, Mac and Linux instead of stupidly being Linux-only.
>>101575444>I used transmission on windows literally over a decade ago.It hasn't been that long, and the Transmission Windows port is still not as stable as the Mac and Linux one that is almost 20 years old now.
>>101575552>>101575542anon... no idea how, but we've been able to use most linux software on windows for a long time. people would compile it and port it in different ways. IIRC at some point you could run KDE3 as a whole on windows.
>>101575574Not the same as an official port, anon.
>>101575585sure. but I guess the point the other anon was making wasn't whether he used a port, but that he was able to run it on windows.well, that's my point anyway. you could do that without VMs, WSL and similar shit. which means there ARE ways of running lInux programs on windows.
>>101575621>but that he was able to run it on windows.who cares if 0.000001% of torrenters are able to run Transmission on Windows when it was Mac and Linux only? You think that's going to matter at all compared to an actual official port? The actual original point is that if there's no Windows port like qBitorrent had, there's no users and no users means no continued development. That's a big reason why qBittorrent surged ahead of Transmission, as well as the fact that uTorrent users fled from uTorrent to the nearest clone when uTorrent botnetted itself.
>>101575552>It hasn't been that longHere's a download for version 2.04 for Windows from fucking 2010, and the description suggests there were Windows versions even before this.https://web.archive.org/web/20141119043824/http://sourceforge.net/projects/trqtw/files/Transmission-Qt/2.0x
>>101575685Not official, not even popular. Can't even run it as a Windows service like you can now. Just stop being retarded, anon.
>>101575701The earliest version of the sourceforge page in the archive already had 8000 downloads. How many people actually use Transmission on Windows today?
>>101572842One of Transmissions big selling points is that it although it lacks a lot of QoL features (unless 4.0 finally fucking fixed it), it can handle thousands upon thousands of torrents with zero issues and be stable. I had rTorrent start crashing at around 3K torrents and I can use almost 7K torrents on Transmission with zero hiccups.
>>101568068>>101574767never seen the stalled meme in the last 5 years of using qbittorrent. is it a running meme on here or something?
>>101575744>How many people actually use Transmission on Windows today?Nobody knows but probably much more since the official homepage got the preview version for Windows. Very few people are going to use a 3rd party build of a torrent client not meant for an OS compared to an official installer.
>>101575763>One of Transmissions big selling pointsThe biggest selling point right now is that you can install it without a UI on a Windows PC and it will run in the background forever, which you can access with one of the many 3rd party or official WebUI. It's pretty near. Uses almost no CPU and starts as a Windows service with no indication it is there unless you look at the task manager.
>>101564166>words words wordsThe left can't meme>>101566265samefag
>>101563991What do the transmission developer forum members call themselves? Trannies?
>>101575960man you guys are really obsessed with troonswhen you go to get your car fixed, do you start giggling uncontrollably when your mechanic says "transmission"?
>>101575511>no answerstay an incel
>>101574161>best torrent client just improved >what should I use nowgee I wonder
I used transmission at the height of my pt gremlin seeding phase and I eventually had to switch to qb because it took fucking ages to do anything with 100+ torrents waiting to seed. Just adding/removing a torrent would freeze the program for half a minute.
>>101575983Mechanics have been making "servicing my tranny" jokes for decades, anon.
>>101576291The guy who taught my auto/transmissions class in highschool even cracked them. >And remember class, a tranny has an input and output shaft.
>>101576267Works on my machine
>>101564036
>>101574161aria2
Transmission easily saturates my 600 Mib/s downlink, so it's quite fine for me at the moment. Didn't even realize that it couldn't do gigabit.
Nice, always fun to see the stuff I use improve.Imagine if rtorrent didn't have a shit TUI and even shittier RPC
>>101576873well now it will be even better when you get the 4.1.0 update
>>1015768732 new devs joined after the 4.0.0 update came out and they are making lots of optimizations and fixes to the libtransmission code so 4.1.0 is going to be the best release yet.
transmission is worthless until it gets dark mode
>>101577173>transmission is worthless until it gets dark modeQt bug blocking that. Also affects qBittorrent on Windows.
>>101577179>affects qBittorrent on Windows
>>101577227it does. you had to force it with an extra windows command to get it to do that. it works on transmission as well.
>>101577173>>101577179>>101577227>>101577244Neither qBittorrent or Transmission have dark mode on Windows unless you force it with an extra command on startup.

>>101577252>dark mode
>>101577270Remember when people wouldn't talk about troons when we discussed Transmission, a well known Linux and Mac torrent client on /g/?I remember.........
>>101577244>>101577252no extra commands, i just installed a themesomething that isn't possible afaik on transmission
>>101577244>>101577252qBittorrent supports themes.
>>101577342>something that isn't possible afaik on transmissionNot in official clients but you can either force dark mode on Windows with an extra command on startup or just install a 3rd party frontend with dark mode like mine. This is what my Transmission looks like.

>>101581404yeah, transmission shills are really rabid for some reason
>>101584592all popular software has rabid fans, anon
>>101580224That was just because of their shitty hosting. Not the software itself. Same shit happened to Linux Mint.
>>101585075except transmission is obviously and now evidently lower performance, drastically fewer features, got hacked and distributed vulnerable builds, and yet they defend itsee what i mean? >>101585904all because muh "qstalltorrent" that might have been a legitimate issue with some versions like a decade ago. libtorrent 2 is literally perfect. if it doesn't work your config is wrong
>>101577227>18 years old>Still looks like absolute dogshitIt's really impressive that qBittorrent's UI has not improved at all since its initial release.
>>101585961So what? It is popular for a reason. It runs on every small device, is fast enough for most people, doesn't need features for people who just want to torrent, and only their site got hacked. The software itself is safe. Why are you so dishonest?
>>101585961Libtorrent 2 is really buggy and causes systems to hang. The Dev is trying to rewrite large parts of it to fix those major issues. That's why most people stick to libtorrent v1
>>101586103The qBit UI has definitely improved. Even 5.0.0 beta has added more improvements. Just not in the way you want. You seem to want a total UI change.
>>101566012>>101566414>>101572887>>101575940>>101578012this may be the only site left on the internet where chuds genuinely recoil at the term instead of owning it, laughing, and saying the nigger word. 4chan receives ungratefully the table scraps of more enlightened cultures.
>>101586137i've literally ran libtorrent 2 builds ever since they started releasing them. less memory usage. faster speeds. never ever stalls. no system hang whatsoeverbet most of the issues are caused by crusty 20 year old configs autists refuse to look revise. start by making advanced settings the libtorrent defaults
>>101586209I didn't even know what chud meant until some troon on /g/ called me one years ago. >>101586223There's issues all over qbittorrents pages where people describe how libtorrentv2 made their system hang and that is why the qbit devs stopped using v2 by default and rolled back to v1 until arvid can fix v2 with a total restructuring.
>>101586267i quickly looked into the issue tracker. can't find any comment from arvid about restructuring jack shitIN FACT, exactly as i predicted, one of them was about having non-default file pool size. another was an archbaby running a non-lts kernel (lol) and a kernel upgrade fixed it. everyone knows non-lts linux kernels are unstable piles of shit. sad state of affairs
>>101586358Stop lying you fag. Arvid admitted he went about v2 the wrong way. He and a bunch of users detail it here. This is why v1 is still used by default instead of v2https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/7551
>>101586515i'm not lying. he does not say he will refactor jack shit. he's just going to keep perfecting iti get all the benefits of memory mapped IO on my spinning rust drives, none of the supposed negatives. fix your scuffed ass systemswait! i just remembered a real bug i experience: once in a blue moon qbittorrent will crash. that's every other month. nothing else. i don't blame it too much because i'm near OOM a lot of the time so there's a lot of swapping going on
