I feel like Transmission is getting unnecessary hate from this chart. It works very good, is stable, efficient...

its the perfect client for arr or just simple torreting

Transmission is awesome because it's simple. It only does what you need and has the best UI for doing so.

I'm caught between the dual urges of "reject tierlist, embrace tradition" and "I've been sleeping on over a decade of FOSS torrent client development, maybe it's time to up my game".

qBittorrent is indeed the best, but ranking Transmission so low just screams edgy kid trying to dislike the "normie" alternative.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The "normie" alternative in this case is uTorrent. Only Linux users know about transmission lol

Whoever designed that seems like they have something against transmission lol.

For me personally: it gets the job done, is allowed by most private trackers, fast and responsive, has a functional webui, and a very vast selection of third party apps (in addition to the cross platform first-party offering)

It's simplicity is kind of its selling point. Only real criticism I have is that it's unfortunate some of the supported features aren't accessible in the first party apps, and especially from the lightweight web interface

Yeah, seems weird that simple "it downloads torrents" client gets a D. It gets the job done, is easy to figure out, and doesnt fuck about with features I would never touch. Maybe thats not enough for a power user but for me its exactly what I want.

(but then why is Tixati in B, seems to have mostly downsides?)

BiglyBT having a chat feature boggles me, why would anyone want that in their torrent client?
