Fucking nerds, man. Why can’t we learn to work together!?

Why does anyone use this over qbit?
It’s lightweight, open source, and does exactly what it’s supposed to.
I kind of legacyed my way into it. It was the first thing I grabbed after uTorrent went to hell decades ago.
What is the advantage of qbit over it?
Qbittorrent feels a lot closer to what uTorrent used to be, while Transmission has more of a Mac-style simplicity to it.
My main point of concern is most of my indexes often ban versions of transmission but I never see that for qbit.
I don’t often use BitTorrent at all, but Transmission is certainly the first client that comes to my mind, probably mainly because it came preinstalled with the distros I used when I was new to Linux (Debian and Ubuntu in the late 2000s). Not sure what advantages there are either way.
That makes sense, qbit was the first recommended to me too.

long-standing
They’re both correct. This is akin to correcting somebody because they’re using British / American English and you’re using the other.
It’s a direct quote of the guy who forked.
Fork you!
Oh gosh, the bickering.
I’m not sure I like your attitude, so I’m starting my own thread down below and everyone else is welcome to join me there.
😆👌
A core feature of any mature FOSS project.
Well at least one aspect is mature
As a maintainer, you can just ignore it most of the time 👌😎
Bonkers that its the default on many distros instead of qbittorrent
it’s qbittorrent, not gbittorrent. that’s really why.
transmission has been the default on so many gnome-based distributions for a very long time because of its gtk frontend… it also has a qt frontend, curses cli, daemon, windows qt build, and native mac versions…
qbittorrent also runs on more than just linux, but is qt. only qt. how many qt-only applications find their way into the default package set for gnome or gtk desktops released by debian, ubuntu, mint, fedora, redhat, suse, etc, etc.
Yeah, I much prefer cli front ends over web ones as all my torrent boxes have been headless. I realize with most client server archs I could connect via gui but still I prefer cli.
It does what it used to do 15 years ago and it does it well. The arr-stack tried to make me use qBittorrent. I said no and did it with Transmission anyway.
That is pretty good.
