I haven’t kept up with which ones turned to fuckery and which ones did not.

Do not use Tixati or uTorrent or Bittorrent. these are proprietary software.
Deluge, QBittorrent, rTorrent, and Transmission are all fine options and I think they each excel in different ways. Most seedboxes use Deluge or rTorrent.
I never really like QBittorrent because I don’t like the libQT interface. It’s probably fine to use.
Deluge is the preferred client by seedboxers who seed new torrents. For torrents that are less than 48 hours old, deluge seeds much more than any other torrent client. Deluge also downloads more aggressively than the other clients. The drawback of Deluge is that it loses performance at around 500 active torrents.
I haven’t noticed Transmission being offered by most seedbox companies for use. It is a fine client. In my own experience, it is limited to around 2000 active torrents seeding before it loses performance. I’ve known people who seed more than 2000 torrents and they run multiple instances of transmission with different torrents seeding in each.
rTorrent is the best in terms of long term seeding. It is the most lightweight out of the clients. I’ve has up to 6000 torrents active seeding in an rTorrent client. I would guess that it fails somewhere around 10000 active torrents. The web interface will fail long before it reaches this point so you have to figure out how to control it by command line.
I use fragments because I’m using the GNOME desktop and it looks nice.
Qbittorrent has been pretty ace for my use case.
I use Deluge because FOSS and python
I alternate between qbittorrent and transmission
Deluge on the server and qbittorrent on the laptop. Might move to rtorrent this year.
I still use Transmission.
Rtorrent if you like it lightweight
I use qbittorrent running on a server so I can just throw torrents in it and they automatically get added to my jellyfin.
I use qBittorrent and haven’t heard anything bad.
The main one that turned to fuckery is µTorrent, stay far away from that.
edit: lol, they’re still around and offering paid services for a torrent client, fuck off.
Yeah I remember the µTorrent fuckery.
qbittorrent is the new old-µTorrent, back when it was fast and reliable and THE go-to torrent client.
Or ktorrent if you’re on kde/Linux.
Nobody else has said Tixati is there a reason i shouldn’t be using it?
It’s not open source and there are open source alternatives that do the same things or more.
It’s not very likely at all that you’re going to get screwed over by your torrent client, but it is a good idea to use open source, auditable software for something as sensitive as torrenting.
More of a “better safe than sorry” than a “you’re actively harming yourself”.
Well, I’ve never heard of it until now. I just need things to download, and the other ones mentioned here do that just fine. I can’t imagine what advanced technology Tixati offers that it needs ti be proprietary.
qBittorrent Just Works. I also use transmission sometimes, as it’s just the default installed client on some distros.
Up until recently I had a very, very old version of uTorrent installed, used it till it was unusable, swapped to qBit like last year.
+1 on qBitTorrent
nyaa . si for anime
deluge is nice, i run it on my raspberry pi along with plex so i can torrent stuff from anywhere onto it using the webUI which is really handy. its GUI client is good too for general use, it’s lightweight and open source. i was a utorrent 2.2.1 purist for a long time but deluge is what got me to change things up.
yeah last I saw deluge had not been getting a lot of updates but its still my preferred as well
