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, I’ve used qbittorrent, deluge, utorrent, and a number of other clients over the years. I greatly prefer transmission. I don’t need my torrent client to do anything but download and seed.
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?)

I bet this person hates GIMP too.
Came here to defend transmission. Glad to see so many compatriots.
And Qbit also has network binding, which is the single most important feature for me as a VPN user.

I use transmission because I can install it from Ubuntu repos and it runs from the command line in Ubuntu server.
I dropped Transmission because I found it had severe performance problems with very large torrents. qBittorrent has been great.
Never had an issue with anything
Neither did I until I tried running torrents > 100GB.
There was some bug in the way it was using Java’s non-blocking IO and buffer classes that caused resource starvation with very large torrents.
