[RockinZ28]

real-debrid if I have to resort to torrents. Let them download it first, and I'll get it at 10mB/s when its done.

That's how they all start!

 

[mikeford]

Quit torrents about a year ago when enforcement changed, Demonoid, etc. went down. I use newsbin pro and usenet.

rtorrent. Not very pretty to fine tune, but once setup it's quite convenient.
Plus, there's a web interface for Android, if you care to set it up.

 

[Rebel44]

I currently use:
uTorrent 1.8.2
Vuze 4.8.0.0

reason for these specific versions is that my favourite tracker has strict rules about allowed/banned clients.

According to the NSA it is still the most widely used torrent client.

 

[UglyCasanova]

I use it. You can go into preferences and turn all of the ads off.

It's libre. If they get ads(highly unlikely), remove them. If you don't have the knowledge to, someone else does, and will. Libre software usually won't sell you out because people can look. Proprietary software? Good luck...

Isn't the World of Warcraft downloader the most widely used torrent client? ^_^

Why qBT over Transmission?

Yup. I don't really use torrents anymore but if I did it would be this. Last I checked utorrent went to complete shit once they tried to monetize it..

I prefer the interface. It's similar to uTorrent. One useless feature I really like is seeing the country flags of the peers. It's interesting seeing where everyone is coming from.

 

[SheHateMe]

I use a Seedbox with utorrent.

 

[velillen]

utorrent if im downloading to my laptop/desktop. Transmission if im using my server to do it (via transmission remote gui) I really dont use torrents much anymore these days.

Me either, I primarily use Usenet for stuff. But, there are certain things that torrents are good for.

So, I got a seedbox. Its a bit pricey at $25/m but for that price I can do whatever I want.

I don't do movies and stuff. Its mostly IT stuff, I am part of a private community and I make sure to keep my ratios up.
