I really like biglybt, but why is it so... slow to add torrents or shut itself down? It seems as if the app does so many different things simultaneously that it doesn't do them seamlessly or instantaneously. I mean, why does it need 'up to twenty seconds' to close after you've downloaded something? Is it bloat? Is there a way to streamline its running?

Deluge has so much potential but it just crashes so often on windows.

I am interested in some of the features of BiglyBT, but don't love the .sh installer for Linux - they should have rpms and debs IMO. I'm a little concerned they don't end up in EPEL or whatever like qbittorrent is.

Can someone help me with qbittorrent? After a couple of days of running the docker container all my torrents get stalled until I restart the container.

I'd look at the container's networking, if I were you.

I should upgrade to a vpn that doesn't throttle dls

I'm not in any private trackers so it doesn't really matter, but why is tixati banned? I use it because it's the only client that worked on the crusty old computer I use to run my torrents. Is it evil or something?

I have some custom scripts which kinda do what the *arr apps do.

I download torrent files into a folder. My script picks it up, identifies whether it is movie, TV, music, Games, ebooks, or something else. Based on this it selects the right folder. Then calls Transmission API and adds the torrent with the relevant path.

In case of movies and TV shows, it then calls the transmission APIs to rename the files properly. This way I can have my folders well organised and continue seeding without the need of creating duplicates.

This setup works quite well. The only fear I have is the transmission remote GUI for Windows hasn't been updated in 4 years. It works quite well, but it's only a matter of time before it stops working.

Should I consider another client?
