Lightweight while being the most highly featured client, and it just werks.
Using anything else feels like torrenting blind while feeling stupid for using incompetently programmed garbage.
>>
>>103216736
you realize most people use transmission cli right
why the fuck would you ever use a gui for a torrent client? babybrain?

pick one retard

>>103213968
Transmission, it's what my seedbox runs.
I use a remote GUI, tremotesf, for accessing it.

Just because using a CLI takes a higher mental load does not mean it is smart to use one.

okay?
>>
>>103216964

except transmission cli shows progress as verbose as you want

BiglyBT. There's no scenario where it hasn't been a fitting choice for me.
Headless daemon, desktop client, mobile client, remote client, webui.
Modular design lets me add or remove features that are as basic as utp support or as complex as i2p integrations or automatic scheduling, etc.
Open source and runs on everything I've ever used.
It's ubiquitous, no matter which machine I'm on I'm using the same familiar client with little tweaks to the configuration.

I've tried many other things before this but BiglyBT is the one I stuck on, switched around the time it was called Vuze (but was no longer Azueres).
I think my client history over the years is something like:
original reference client -> utorrent -> deluge -> rtorrent -> transmission -> Vuze->BiglyBT
Inbetween these I trialed many other clients as they appeared like qbittorrent, halite, et al. but they were not good enough to consider using as my primary client, for one reason or another.
>>
>>103217222
Came here to say this. Deluge is okay, but it looks ugly as hell. BiglyBT looks better and has more features. I'm shilling it for free cause I love it so much.

Deluge. Idk

>>103221430
This. I have no reason to switch. It just works. No Internet drama.

>>103213968
Deluge which is great apart from the retarded plugin system

kek imagine using the CLI.

>in order to start your car, you must flip a numbered series of 1000 switches. You must first switch the ones divisible by three. You must then switch the ones divisible by five. But the ones divisible by both three and five are not to be flipped. You then must flip the remaining switches.
Proprietary user, concerned about the goal: "This seems unnecessarily complicated, and since the goal is to start the car, these 1000 switches could all be replaced by a single straight piece of wire to enable starting the car without the effort."
Freetard, concerned about how he can make the process about his ego: "OMG, imagine getting filtered by SWITCHES! Cars shouldn't just have 1000 switches, they should have 2000 to weed out the cartoddlers!"
What does being able to flip some switches have to do with anything? It doesn't. Yet you've fooled yourself into thinking it is in a sad attempt to make you feel special, when all you are is special ed.

>>103225531
It's unnatural and uncanny to click on buttons that aren't very real.
It is natural and self explanatory to use words I knew since I was 2 years old.
>>
>>103213968
transmission on pc, qbt on seedbox
>>103224432
nta but normally it's faster to type if you know what you want to do, you might be experiencing skill issue

v2 torrents utilize SHA-256 hashing for their info hashes, ensuring stronger cryptographic integrity compared to v1 torrents, which use SHA-1. This makes it more difficult for malicious actors to inject fake or corrupted files into the swarm, as any tampering with the data would immediately be detected.

I can already detect tampering by watching anime and finding out it doesn't work.

This is the only right answer. How does anyone use qb and utorrent in 2024? qb is ugly as fuck and I'm convinced utorrent is CCP spyware
>>
>>103226679
utorrent is babyduck syndrome, qb is obsession with bloat
>noo sar I cannot just use rss client with scriptable hooks and forward it to my transmission-remote -a $magnet, I must have bloated and broken qbittorrent rss parser running in the client and adding torrents from there! I also can't just search in any search engine sar, I must search in the client!
