*bumping this thread*

so...which client should i use nowadays? utorrent now has lots of ads

you can download legacy builds of utorrent, because certain trackers will only allow up to specific versions of utorrent.

I just switched to qbittorrent

It's okay but i still think utorrent 2.2.1 is still the most whitelisted and lightweight client out there.

uTorrent (latest version with ads disabled) for my desktop, Flud for my Note 5.

transmission <- you can put it on your router (and make it a dedicated torrent machine)

^ I put transmission on my NAS instead, router storage transfer rates don't seem to be very good, last I checked.

Nothing beats the convenience (and power savings) of Transmission in router/NAS plus Remote Transmission client on Android.

automate your torrent downloading, use flexget to listen to tracker RSS feeds and you won't need an android transmission client.

WallyWest · « **Reply #33 on:** November 02, 2016, 09:58:55 PM »

Flexget looks nice but I'm not sure I want automated downloading.

For now, I've set up Google Alerts to notify me of new torrents.

I just use the built-in RSS feed downloaders in utorrent or qbittorrent and they work fine for me.

For years now, I've been using an old windows laptop as a torrent box for pretty decent power savings and ease of use. I'm just waiting for Seagate to release its new 2.5" 5TB drive locally so I can also also use the laptop as a full fledged and upnp/dlna media server.

I've considered setting up a dedicated NAS but the associated cost always put me off.

Transmission on my VPS, then a cron to check and scp the files over to my local file server. 1-3 tv shows a day lang naman. ever since I got my 15mbps globe dsl plan I just stream using kodi and exodus.

qbittorrent for me.

qbittorrent for me.

The latest version seems to have a bug where torrents can't connect with public trackers. It hasn't been whitelisted by some private trackers too.

I just rolled back to 3.3.7 and everything's back to normal.

^ I'm still on 3.1.5 lol! If it ain't broke don't fix it.

BitTorrent, if you know how to disable the ads
