Hi, ive been pirating stuff for a bit and I currently use Picotorrent, but I wanted to know what everyone else uses to see if there is a better option.
qBittorrent for over a decade now.
The best client ever
Yep. The day µTorrent did their adware/crypto/whatever the fuck it was shit happened more than once, I immediately grabbed qBittorrent and never wanted to look back. Only once did I have a problem with it and that was an issue between it and Sonarr which I resolved by just downgrading qBittorrent for awhile lol

Since I discovered qbittorent, it has been the only thing I use for torrents
If PicoTorrent meets your needs then you’re fine, it’s a great torrent client.
I tend to use qBittorrent, Deluge, rTorrent/ruTorrent.
Below is the list of desktop/server torrent clients people have mentioned over on the old subreddit.
- BiglyBT
- BitTorrent Classic / uTorrent Classic (current versions are essentially the same client nowadays)
- or uTorrent 2.2.1 (try here)
- BitTorrent Web / uTorrent Web
- Deluge
- Exatorrent
- FrostWire
- JSTorrent
- KTorrent
- PicoTorrent
- Porla
- qBittorrent
- rTorrent
- Tixati
- Transmission
- Tribler
- Vuze
- WebTorrent Desktop
I’ll just add that it’s best to avoid current versions of BitTorrent/uTorrent/Vuze nowadays. (Vuze users should migrate to BiglyBT)
Thanks!
Qbittorrent. Before that, uTorrent. Prefer QBT interface. Tried i2p, but too tech-ignorant to make it work.
i2p is not a torrent client - but have no fear, you’re not missing much. i2p torrenting is slowwww (think gigs per day) and generally doesn’t have much.
qbittorrent on windows and Flud on my phone.
Deluge
I started using it on my desktop the day qbittorrent decided to just randomly die and refused to be reinstalled
qbittorrent because I love the search engine
qbittorrent with docker container.
qBittorrent, for its search engine. It’s fantastic. If it didn’t have it though I’d use Transmission.
Deluge in a docker container. I run a media server and use the *arr apps to control things and deluge for the torrent app. I have it all behind a VPN. If the VPN goes down the entire network fails and is unable to connect any other way…. I do not trust a Killswitch and never would.
How did you make sure that the internet can only be reached through the VPN?
qbittorrent. Tried i2p, but too tech-ignorant to make it work.
I’ve been using Qbittorrent for as long as I can remember. It’s been very reliable and I don’t see a reason to change.
Tixati for PC, Transmission for Mac is how I’ve had it for a while. No complaints!
Can’t help but be a little anxious about it being closed-source, but it a really good program still
Also been using Tixati for years now. Does the job.
qBittorrent + Dracula Theme
This is what ive decided to go with, i really like it.
qbittorrent-qt5, the default qt6 toolkit version looks a bit out of place with my Plasma theme.
