I uninstalled qbittorrent after the webui exploit and I'm looking for a good replacement. What other clients are you using, and which ones do you like more? I've been using aria2 in the meantime but it's not really an option long term, I want something with a proper GUI.

qbittorrent
I use Transmission. It's sleek and lightweight.
anything but Transmission
it's fricking trash
it's very good actually, next release will have seq download at which point it's complete afaic
>seq download
you mean downloading the pieces in order?
It's shit in so many ways. When you have a few hundred torrents, searching becomes slow as shit (have to wait more than a second per character typed). If the file of a torrent is on an external hard drive and it's no plugged, the torrent will get an error and even if you restart Transmission and plug the harddrive back in the error will remain and you'll have to manually restart each fricking torrent. It wouldn't be so bad if you could make searches on various fields, like the type of error for example, but you fricking can't. Also when the disk gets fulled, good fricking luck finding the torrent that failed since again, braindead search feature, and also because the log doesn't record shit.
You also need to restart it because torrents don't start sometimes.
I've got a few more items btw.
i dont have these issues
what is wrong with transmission? it works great and is very lightweight.
Meme client. Deluge superiority.
utorrent. you deserve the worst
qbittorrent but don't use webui (why would you even want to in the first place)
why would you quit using a piece of software because it had a vulnerability
It's not because of the vulnerability itself, it's because of the devs blaming the users instead of acknowledging they made a mistake and didn't use safe defaults. Unless they changed their mind later that was their response iirc, to an exploit that basically allowed remote code execution, so pretty serious. I can't trust them and use their software after that. What other settings and tiny checkboxes are there that I must double check lest my client opens itself to wan and some chink bot installs malware or downloads CP on my machine? No thanks. That's why I'm looking for alternatives.
>exploit
It wasn't an exploit.
>they made a mistake and didn't use safe defaults
The webui is and always has been disabled by default.
It wasn't on the server version. And that's not the point. The problem is not that, it's the attitude of the devs. I simply can not trust their software. Even if the webui was off, its configuration was moronic. Something like upnp should never default to enabled, ever. It should have been buried in some sub-menu somewhere, if present at all. They just had to recognize it was moronic, but they didn't as far as I know. So I can't trust their software running on my machine, not if its default settings make it so you're one tiny checkbox away from getting fricked at any given time.
I use transmission-daemon, aliased transmission-remote to te and I never needed anything more
use Deluge or ruTorrent
>GUI
NGMI
watch -n2 transmission-remote -l
I use Deluge. It's well supported by private trackers and works fine for my needs.
I downloaded uTorrent thinking it was the same thing as it was a few years ago, only to find out it installed their webapp and fell for one of the third-party installs thinking I was agreeing to ToC. Go ahead, call me moronic, but I was really tiredd. I uninstalled everything including the bullshit VPN it installed on my system. Give it to me straight, does my system have AIDs now?
>I downloaded uTorrent thinking it was the same thing as it was a few years ago
By "a few" did you mean ten? Because that's how many years ago uTorrent was good.
I've used qBitorrent, Transmission, and Tixati. Tixati is the fastest one by a large margin.
uTorrent 2.2.1
