Favorite torrent client?
 
I use rtorrent in slackware. I already tried to use deluge 1.2.3 and even 1.3rc1 and 1.3rc2 but I find them a little unstable.
Witch is your favorite? For lot of torrents and maximum encryption?

Try qbittorrent: http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/qbittorrent/ (needs http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbui...ent-rasterbar/ too)

qbittorrent or ktorrent here.

Another vote here for rtorrent, it takes 5 minutes editing a single config file and then it performs flawlessly...

I personally prefer transmission. I have it working great in 13.1 x64. I was able to build transmission-2.01 against libevent-1.4.14b-stable (the only dependency). Let me know if you need more info.

I am running remotely rtorrent on my ..hm say a server mostly because its interface - I login via ssh and start rtorrent on a screen socket. For me it is very convenient as I don't run X Windows on this server. I tried also btpd as it runs as daemon. But I cannot to set up it properly. Moreover for btpd some parameters cannot be changed dynamically - I had to restart. So I vote for rtorrent but rtorrent can be very annoying.

qbittorrent was a little too buggy for me. There is an alpha version of utorrent available for linux. It is the server release with the client due soon.

Never had a problem with Transmission, so I've never a reason to try another.

Transmission already support multiple watch folders or labels? Anything to keep the torrents organized and adding them automatically from folders? rtorrent and deluge do that and it is very handy!
