Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

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

I feel like Transmission is getting unnecessary hate from this chart. It works very good, is stable, efficient...

Transmission is awesome because it's simple. It only does what you need and has the best UI for doing so.

This post made me nostalgic for the days when uTorrent was the shit. Man, how the mighty have fallen.

Transmission is probably one of the best clients to use in a headless setup. I think it usually ranks lower because it doesn't do a lot of things for you. What it does it does well, but nothing beyond that. Technically there is network binding, but by IP address and not interface. That means you have to script it which I know most people aren't going to want to do. As far as searching, again you have to rely on other services that probably do it better anyway. Still I rank it alongside qbittorrent. It just takes a less user or beginner friendly route.

I have seen this same image circulated for years. We need a new one because transmission in D tier is unacceptable.

qBittorrent is indeed the best, but ranking Transmission so low just screams edgy kid trying to dislike the "normie" alternative.

BiglyBT having a chat feature boggles me, why would anyone want that in their torrent client?

This triggers me. Transmission is perfect.

there is Trimbler

Transmission as a server is very good and lightweight, specially if you pair it with something like Flood and the *arr apps
