Why can't open source make a perfect torrent client like utorrent 2.0.4/2.1.1 was?
It can't be so hard

Libtorrent is trash

QB devs are fucking fags that are more into bloating the torrent than fixing 3 years old know as fuck bugs

No serious programmer works for free

FOSS is a fucking meme for NEETs and people with too much free time

what's wrong with qbittorrent?

Everything if you don't use it for casual leeching on public trackers

Who's "open source"?

I was curious too, too bad you couldn't provide real criticism.

What would the main draws of a perfect open source torrent client be?

In other words, what made uTorrent so good?

There are two different libtorrent.

>>56091031
What specific issues do you have with clients other than microTorrent?

>>56090257
>It can't be so hard
Make the torrent client you want. You're a NEET with endless free time after all.
>>
>>56090257
Why don't you fork an open source client and fix it yourself?
It can't be so hard

Deluge?

They just don't feel right.

>getting people banned from private trackers
I've been seeding with Deluge on over 12 private trackers for years. Zero problems.
>>
>>56091183
You're thinking of the wrong one, Deluge is the one that's just fine.

It's utorrent that's banned.

Technology impaired wintards who use their computer to download porn and game of thrones are unable to get used to new software. Who the fuck cares?

Machines. I seed with 2x Gigabit seedboxes and 1 home connection.
>>
>>56090257
what's so great about µtorrent?
>windows only, so not viable for a seedbox
would be enough of a reason not to advocate it as the non plus ultra of torrent clients
then the fact that stuff like deluge or qbittorrent provide exactly the same functionality and interface and are stable enough for the occasional leech here or there

Do you even home seedbox

>>56091573
leaving a windows computer running 24/7 is a waste of money when you could just use some cheap raspberry pi or similar and connect it to an external hdd

KTorrent is better

Because I have FTTH and 8 sata drives?

fucking this. rtorrent is the BEST torrent client out there. its simply perfect. much better than fucking utorrent

Android (2.1 and later),[6] Linux (officially supported using Wine;[12] native server version also available[13]), Microsoft Windows, OS X (10.5; Intel and PPC)

I still use uTtorrent 2.2.1 because I'm used to it, it works for the most part and it has low RAM usage.

But I tried qBittorrent and it was alright. Why don't people like it?
>>
>>56091969
Can we admit that we don't really know what 'bloat' means anymore? Tixati is an awful client but it is not bloated by any means.

Nope

Besides being slow as shit.

Lol get a load of this retard. Ratio problems, dial up user?
Also deluge doesn't redownload. It does sometimes hash check torrents on start up, but even if it did you should try upgrading from 56K.

rtorrent+libtorrent

This. Why bother when the 'perfect' client already exists?
>>
>>56091969
utorrent infographic irrelevant for 2.2.1
>qbit
>BETTER compatibility on windows compared to deluge
if anything it stalls instead, deluge's heavy af but nothing is stalling

guide doesnt apply well to windows apparently (every other client listed here worked flawlessly only on linux)

I use uTorrent 2.2.1 and qBittorrent (for private trackers exclusively) on Windows 10 (previous 7 SP1). About 2500 torrents in uT, about 20 in qB. uT uses about 100MB RAM, while qB uses about 70MB. RAM usage wouldn't normally be a problem, but I use the computer that I seed from as my main computer and only have 8GB RAM. Other than that, I haven't had a problem with either. I just add the torrent, it downloads, and then seeds. Have not had a problem with how "aggressively" it seeds, and am satisfied with the results.

On my dedicated server I use rTorrent+ruTorrent on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Currently close to 2500 torrents. I am wary about adding too many torrents at once because adding too many will make rTorrent (not ruTorrent) crash. When I was using a seedbox provider (seedhost.eu), there was a hard limit to how many torrents I could add at once (20). I have not had this problem with uTorrent, however uTorrent of course pops up a dialog box that prompts you on where to save the torrent after you add it, and ruTorrent has a different method (dialog box that asks where to save torrent is the same as uploading a torrent). Using the command-line interface for rTorrent would be extremely unwieldy with the number of torrents I'm seeding. Additionally, the web UI (ruTorrent) is sluggish with so many torrents (the inital load of the web UI will prompt the "script not responding" dialog on Firefox). However, I enjoy the traffic tracking features of ruTorrent and am satisfied with the results.
