Salix OS

I hate Transmission alot. Deluge is far more powerful and a much easier (and IMHO) faster the Transmission I have had alot of problems getting (deluge) to work after downloading it through slapt-get I think Deluge would be a better inclusion into the O.S. then Transmission just my two cents on user-friendliness.

Which sort of problems?

I agree that Transmission is not good for power users, but it's enough for most people's needs. Deluge has to many useless deps to be included in the iso.

Transmission is intentionally not going to clone the look and feel of uTorrent or Deluge or KTorrent, but we do listen to feedback. If you've got specific suggestions on how Transmission could be more useful to power users, please suggest it in Transmission's ticket system.

We've kept Transmission's deps low because of feedback from distros. And when we do add extra deps (like libappindicator and libgconf, recently) we make sure to flag them as optional.

Hi charles and welcome
I've always used Transmission (it was my first torrent client) and I think it's nice. But after joining to some torrent communities I have about 50 active torrents now. So I've switched to qBittorrent because it offers the possibility to use labels. So I can at least sort my torrents to different categories.

EDIT: And let me add something: I still like the torrent view of Transmission a lot more. You can see all important information of the torrent on first sight: DL/UL-Rate, Progress, Peers, already Up/downloaded MB.

Ohh I see. I don't download enough in torrents to feel the use of categories, but that could be a good idea for some

For me I really like tranmission. It's a light app, nice gui and ncurses and web client are really great!
Maybe some minor things could be done better but nothing that important.
I never used Deluge. I used Azureus in the past that is also great....but heavy.
I think Transmission is the right default app for torrents.
