We just couldn’t possibly compare them all in a showdown like this. They’re some of the most popular, but others, like Deluge (Win/Mac/Linux) and Vuze (Win/Mac/Linux) are also great contenders. These particular clients are just the tip of the iceberg.

It’s been through some rough patches as of late, but it’s still a strong contender. Unlike some of our others here though, it has a killer headless mode ideals for NAS devices, home servers, HTPCs, and even Raspberry Pis, and it’s customisable to completely automate your downloads.
#Qbittorrent vs transmission download
Like our other contenders, it supports encryption, sharing your own files, IP filtering, download scheduling, and remote management. It’s since gone cross-platform, with variants both first-party and third-party available for macOS, Linux, and even Windows. It’s lightweight, and for the longest time was the best torrenting app available for the Mac. Transmission (Windows/Mac/Linux): Transmission is in this roundup for an unfortunate reason (more on that later), but also because we’ve often recommended it in the past - and for good reason.It, too, is cross-platform, and works flawlessly on just about every system you throw it at. IP filtering, sequential downloads, built-in search, encrypted downloads, web-based remote control, port forwarding, it’s all there.

Its interface may look sparse, but under the hood you’ll find just about everything you need, whether you’re heavy or a light downloader.
