Best OSx torrent client?

[v-600]

On windows I use utorrent and know there is a mac client. I had a look on the appstore but couldn't find any recommended there.

Any recommendations/personal preferences on good ones to use?

Utah is by far the best torrent so don't even try it

Whoops meant to say u torrent, my bad you hooligans

Transmission by far.

uTorrent used to be good on both Windows and Mac, but now it has ads and is just generally bad.

Transmission has a refreshingly clean and intuitive interface without sacrificing any of the features or performance

Thanks, I'll investigate Transmission as its something different.

I haven't updated my uTorrent in a long time because of this.

I've been using Transmission for OS X. No ads, very lightweight.

Used to freeze up occasionally, but that has been fixed.

Transmission is the best because it is lightweight, it is GNU/GPL, it can be run as a daemon with multiple clients, and it has great documentation. The windows binary however, doesn't seem to be available directly from the transmission website, only on sourceforge from some rando, which seems sketchy to me.

I am not a heavy Torrenter, but I have never had any problems or quibbles with Transmission.

Same here. Don't do a lot of them but use Transmission and haven't had any problems.

Qbittorrent. It's just like the old Utorrent before they went crap.

That's what I use on Windows, but only because Transmission isn't available.

I'm still on version 1.8.4. No ads and it works great.

What about this?

What about this?

Being an unofficial release it doesn't have the kind of support that the OSX and Linux versions of Transmission have.

Deluge is the Windows equivalent of Transmission.

I'd installed a deluge client front end to connect to a RPi remote torrent box, until it melted something. Wasn't enamored with deluge. It looked very GTK-y if I recall.

I think I am on like 2.2.1. IDK, I just know it is the last version before a bunch of ads and other garbage took over.

Transmission is a small app so I think you should try this.
