Which torrent client should i choose ?

We currently support all major torrent client for our slots. Below we will mention the pros and cons of each one:

Rtorrent (+rutorrent)

Rtorrent is the most popular client, our default torrent client, and along with Deluge, the best option for a seedbox. Rutorrent is a frontend for rtorrent that we use.

Rtorrent Pros

• Very lightweight
• Full featured
• Nice web gui
• Supports RSS feeds
• Very stable, almost never crashes
• Native on linux
• Many nice plugins for rutorrent that extend functionality (filemanager etc)
• You can use ntorrent or Transdroid (for android phones) to remotely control the client from your desktop computer or android cell phone

Rtorrent Cons

• It has not a native GUI, so you can only use it from within a browser (or via command line if you are a friend of the terminal)
• Rutorrent (webgui) is almost 90% javascript based, so it is a little bit heavy to load on a browser. However 99% of the time you will not notice it.

Deluge

Full featured and lightweight will cover all your needs, while it is very easy to learn for beginners.

Deluge Pros

• Beautiful web gui, surely the most polished of all clients
• Very stable and quite lightweight
• Full featured
• Almost never crashes
• Native on linux
• Better performance than rtorrent

Deluge Cons

• Does not support RSS feeds
• Does not have an embedded filemanager

Transmission

A nice, but not so lightweight client.

Transmission Pros

• Full featured
• The web gui is compatible with mobile devices, although it is difficult to handle many files.
• Native on Linux

Transmission Cons

• It is not so lightweight
• Not easy to handle many files, because of the way its GUI is designed
• Does not perform as well as Deluge and rtorrent
