Best torrent client

[Wolfeman0101]

I know there is a plugin for Tranmission but is that the best client? I still use uTorrent on Windows and a network drive but I want to get off that Windows box. I use the RSS feed to add torrents and like that feature. I also would love to somehow migrate all the torrents I'm currently seeding (>300). Anyone have tips or a good place to start?

Did you decide upon a solution for this?

I'm still messing around but I decided to go with Deluge. Took some work to get it installed. I'm still just playing with it right now before I make my final decision.

deluge plus rtorrent

deluge plus rtorrent

What do you mean plus? Aren't they both stand alone clients?

 

[i3luefire]

yes but there have been tutorials *somewhere* saying how to make deluge run a script once the DL is finished to move the torrent to rtorrent for long term seeding.

Oh ok that's interesting. Do you run that setup? What are the advantages?

I have not run that setup yet. i am currently in the process of getting it setup now. the tutorial is written for linux so i have to do some translation probably. https://imgur.com/DM5P4cD

actually i guess the script looks like it will not be linux specific. that was another tutorial. also here is a public link to the tutorial that the one i first posted about was based on. http://theendoftheuniver.se/ramblings/automatically-transfer-torrents-from-deluge-to-rtorrent/

Basically here are the reasons why

deluge advantages

• has an easy to use webui
• is aggressive at downloading/uploading

deluge disadvantages

• memory hog

rtorrent advantages

• easy on memory

rtorrent disadvantages

• no webui
• slower on initial downloading
