What's the /g/ choice for a torrent client nowadays?
no reason to use anything other than qbittorrent it even has built-in search

>>106766946>yikesGo back.
>>106766946It's no longer maintained anon.Some private trackers whitelist only some 2 releases back version anything newer is considered buggy and blacklisted.No new release in sight.It's over.
>>106766968yeah in a complete listbut i went onto jewgletyped "gibbe qbittorre on loonis, but not that"'linked me to a blog with 5 clients or sodeluge was the first in the listsudo apt installand thats what im usingim not kidding when i said i like easyeasy mode in gameseasy women in bedand easy no-brain solutions for my computer
>>106766567I think brave has one built-in now.
>>1067669814.1.0 is in beta right now.
>>106766981Transmission is maintained, just takes them 90 years to release new versions
>>106766994>4.1.0 is in beta right now.I don't think that's a private tracker that accepts it. Also, pic related. It's over anon. Let it go. It was better than qstalledtorrent and now i no longer know what to use. We had a good run.https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/7623
>>106767026>I don't think that's a privateI don't think there is*
>>106766567i like transmission ive tried both deluge and qbit torrent but had issues with both of them where theyd start lagging out and dying after like 3k torrents thats how i ended up with transmission
>>106767037>3k torrents
>>106767058i dont have that many anymore
>>106767063kekyeah, that justifies looking for a quality client then
>>106767063>>106767067 conti assume youre seeding.thats ultrabased
>>106767026The 4.1 beta only happened because of serious threats of forking and the 4.1 release will only happen by renewed serious calls for forking.Transmission is all but a dead project. Instead of letting the old maintainers bamboozle you with fake promises for future activity it's well past time to fork Transmission.

I switched to qbittorrent from linuxserver.io some time ago and haven't felt the need to change it since. definitely a huge upgrade from something like transmission

>>106767663as apparent from this thread, theres better alternativesit works. but you dont have more advanced options like increasing priority, or force starting and suchim a torrent-illiterate but a friend once made me use a different torrent engine for these features and they seemed to help with slow torrents
>>106766567Transmission. I don't need more.
>>106766567qbittorrent-nox in a LXD container with wireguard VPN
>>106767430Doesn't it report as Transmission to trackers, so it would be banned by any that blacklist 4.0.6?
>>106767663Deluge is the most aggressive when it comes to seeding. If you upload torrents a lot, it's easily the best.
Qbit on windowsused to use deluge on linux but it was fucked in lxc so I switched to qbit there too.
>>106771019>>106767686any decent gui clients for that? I'm currently using transmission-daemon with https://github.com/openscopeproject/TrguiNG and it's really fucking convenient being able to double click files and have the client map the remote server's paths to the local mountpoint. but I'm really starting to feel the weight of transmission's abandonwareness.

>>106771456>>106771318>>106771282>>106770715>>106766946Transmission users, how do you use it on private trackers on which the latest versions are not whitelisted?
>>106771456than you are not in private trackers at all, also one anon has posted this link https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/7623 and i actually went through their renting and here is what some of the current devs who are working on that project has to say about new release. . .The admins that have done so much great work to get this software to where it is today like @ckerr and @mikedld are unfortunately the same ones who have killed it. They refused to grant write access to some devs that made significant contributions to the project over the last few years and (were once) highly motivated in its success.They erroneously feared the potential for malicious activity, and instead thought that having the project go nowhere and have everyone jump to other software was the better outcome.also i am not some dude who think that everything should be upgraded to the latest versions, if software is working than it doesn't need any fixes but there are some devs who have different mentality such as "if it isn't broken, than fix it and fix it and fix it until its broke".
>>106771474Why? i don't really much care about speed.>>106771482I only use public trackers, private trackers are meme.
>>106771482i am still using 3.00 version and i'm not panning to upgrade it. the only way to upgrade is to reconsider to choose another bittorrent client.
>can't use the qbit version that blocks all chinks because private trackers say no
uTorrent The most lightweight and performant client out there
>>106771543meh, 2.2.1 is the only one that is still worth to be used.
>>106766567on truenas, since thats where all my storage is at. i just followed a guide last year. forgot how set up. gluetun does the vpn wireguard thing for the two. i remember i had to fuck around with deluge config in the terminal to get dark theme working.

>>106766946>>106766994>>106767019It's been banned from all private trackers for like a year. The devs don't have the manpower to push a new version quickly and though there are willing contributors the devs seem uninterested in getting them more involved.Most of the replies in the threads are largely useless unless you want to risk getting permabanned by a private tracker. I would not be surprised if Transmission gets forked sometime soon, in fact it would probably be the best case scenario.https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/7623Also, on a sidenote, there's an annoying corner case you can run into that I never bothered reporting because devs are so absent and probably won't care. If you delete all trackers from a torrent (for example, if you want to remove an old tracker URL and add a new one) then it becomes impossible to search for it using the filters (because in the tracker filter dropdown, there's no way to filter for torrents that have no trackers). So, if you want to change tracker URLs you have to add new ones first before deleting old ones. Accidentally fucked this up and had to redownload all my active torrent files for an entire tracker.
>>106766688Leaks your ipv6
>>106771482Downgrade Transmission to 4.0.5-1 and downgrade miniupnpc to 2.2.6-1 (the latter may brake some software depending on it, I don't know).It's really a shitty situation. The only reason I haven't bailed from transmission is because the devs keep stringing me along by claiming an update is right around the corner (they've been saying this for a year) and cause I don't know if trying to migrate my torrents to another client will fuck them all up or if other clients can even handle so many torrents (I have almost 6,000).
>>106776679Just run multiple instances but rtorrent will handle that
it's picrel or me

I have been using Deluge since the uTorrent incident. Pretty clunky, but it has grown on me.
>>106776659why is it banned?
>>106777838>You do know you can use previous versions, right?Hard to do on Linux.
>>106777948because some sysop private tracker giga nigger said so

>>106767397Has even a single private tracker whitelistened that beta?Development for 4.1.0 has been stuck at 89% for many months now.
>>106777961>Hard to do on Linux.learn how your package manager holds packages. it's a basic function.>>106776679honestly, what reason is there that torrent clients keep needing to be updated?I would think that a stable functional client is sufficient and they don't have to tinker with it all the time.
>>106777948>why is it banned?https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/7083https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/7086https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/7078https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/7094tl;dr:>Transmission introduced a bug in Feb 2024 that landed in ver 4.0.6.>This bug causes a race condition where the client will spam announce messages at the tracker despite the tracker responding with success messages. This causes Transmission to increase load on trackers and it led to it being banned on a bunch of them.>In August of 2024 it was banned pretty much everywhere and a fix was developed. However, that fix only lives in github.>A 4.0.7 release was in the works when the bug was fixed and the plan was that instead of releasing a new version with just the bug fix, they would instead wait until 4.0.7 which was allegedly right around the corner. A roadmap for 4.0.7 was created in September of last year.>As the months dragged on, everyone abandoned the idea of releasing 4.0.7 in favor of pushing out the 4.1.0 release which they are now saying is right around the corner (and they've been saying this now for many months).Further reading:https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/7058https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/6813#issuecomment-2123596197Also, many of the devs don't seem to understand how tracker whitelists work. They smugly explain that you can just compile it yourself with the bug fix and other such useless suggestions.>>106778067>Running software through WINE unnecessarilyHow are there people this dumb?>build it yourselfThe issue is that it depends on an outdated library which you have to downgrade as well.>>106777961It's not that hard, see >>106776679 . It's far from ideal though and since other software like Dolphin, Godot, and Bitcoin depend on a newer version of miniupnpc then it might not be a feasible option for them.
>>106784090>honestly, what reason is there that torrent clients keep needing to be updated?Open source software exists in an ecosystem. Libraries constantly get updated to increase performance, add features, and, most importantly, to fix security issues. Software that depends on those libraries has to get updated to use the new libraries, especially when there are security concerns. This is just the way things are with open source software, and especially with Linux. The whole "if it ain't broke don't fix it" approach to software is something that is only viable if you can ignore issues like the fact that new vulnerabilities get discovered in software all the time.To put it succinctly, in the Linux ecosystem, if software depends on outdated libraries then it's considered a bug report that the developers need to address.The issue here is that the ecosystem has moved on to a new version of the miniupnpc library (and all the other software that depends on that library have upgraded). and that the outdated 4.0.5 version of Transmission depends on the old version of the library. To downgrade Transmission you also have to downgrade that library and that means you also have to potentially downgrade other software that depends on that library (and any software depending on the newly downgraded software and so on). Linux is not like Wangblows where you have a ton of versions of the same library (some vulnerable and some buggy and so on) all side by side (win s-x-s), in Linux you only have one copy of each library on the system and the software links to it dynamically.>>106776716>Just run multiple instancesRidiculous. No. I do not use software for clowns.

i used Deluge for 10+ years, now i just use QNAP's own download tool for torrents. (it's also based on Deluge)
