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

Given the community we’re in, majority of us are power users and transmission is just way too feature light for most of us

if the community we’re in puts rtorrent in C tier because it’s “UNIX only” then you and I have a different meaning of “power users”.

Given I was replying to a comment in a totally different context, sure, whatever floats your boat.

Being a power user does not automatically mean you need to use Linux. Not trying to defend any other OS out there, just don’t like this gate keeping attitude.

If you need extra features you use extra programs which are tailored to those features. Unix philosophy.

I’m supposed to use an extra program to download a torrent in sequential order?

CLI controls are the ultimate power user feature :)

I’m caught between the dual urges of “reject tierlist, embrace tradition” and “I’ve been sleeping on over a decade of FOSS torrent client development, maybe it’s time to up my game”.

I will say, as someone who used rTorrent some time ago to automate torrent downloading and whatnot, it was awesome. I’m glad to see it still going and gaining popularity.

Stable software doing its job out of the way is what I want.

Nah, someone is just using their torrent client as an F grade *arr and nbz360 solution.

All the “features” listed as Pros is just bloat.

Yeah, I’m comfy with my torrent workflow as it is. I don’t pirate enough volume to make it worth the time to revise something I spend 0.0006% of my overall time on.
