Great Linux Bittorrent Client

[thaimite]

Not Thailand related, but I wanted to share.

After trying many Linux BitTorrent programs (Deluge, Vuze, Transmission and even uTorrent under Wine with my Ubuntu setup, I was not really happy with any of them. Then about 2 months ago I came across QbitTorrent that states it wants to be the uTorrent of Linux. ("Easy to use, good looking, featureful but lightweight".)

I was very impressed with the original version and over that time there have been numerous improvements and addons.

Yesterday I posted an email to the developer suggesting a feature that I would like to see implemented, and after some correspondence asking how the feature should operate I was told that it will be included very soon.

If you download torrents in Linux give QbitTorrent a try. I am sure you will not be disappointed

Current version is 1.5.6, and Version 2.0 is imminent.

Yes. Very nice!

Looked at the developer webpages. With ppa repository. Impressive.

Using it now.

Thanks for posting this.

I have been using libtorrent.rakshasa.no

for a couple of months now. It is very light as it is cli based.

rtorrent - ncurses BitTorrent client based on LibTorrent from rakshasa

Once you have read the fine manual and have a hold on the keybindings, it becomes a real pleasure.

You can also command it through your webbrowser after installing an extention.

I am running it on a Debian Sid kind of system, but it should run on any distribution.
