Which one to choose? Deluge?

[ububaba]

I have used both BitTorrent and BitTornado for downloading of torrents.
Have never tried Deluge. Folks, which do you consider is the best one for this
purpose? I am open to any suggestion. Have no specific loyalty to any client.

You can always try all three and see which one works best for you.

Yeah, you are right. I thought most people are smarter than me.:-k

[ciscosurfer]

Yeah, you are right. I thought most people are smarter than me.:-k??? I have absolutely no idea what you mean. Please enlighten me.

[ububaba]

??? I have absolutely no idea what you mean. Please enlighten me.

I absolutely agree with you that one could try all three and then make up my
mind. What I meant was that once others have been using these clients, they
have certainly been able to analyse the problems or noticed the better aspects,
which is better than me inventing the wheel again. Now, I have installed the new
Deluge as well. Thanks all the same.:biggrin:

well, you're asking for this on a forum that is about deluge, so why would anyone tell you deluge is bad, use another client?
i mean, deluge has parts that need some love, but i think most (if not all) of the people on this board use deluge and are visiting this forum because they like deluge ;)
just my 2¢...

I thought people even on this forum would have a critical eye. :rolleyes:

[baze]

well sure they are. i've used quite a lot torrent clients myself, but now i'm using deluge and that is because i like it the most. if i did not like it, i would use another client too, but then i would not stay around here, why should i? ;)

perhaps you should better ask on a global bittorrent forum (if you find one) which client you should use, you might get other opinions from people there, but those "which to choose?"-questions just usually end up by people telling you to use the program they like best themselves. they recommend you this app, because they like it. it's the same with "what distro shall i use?" and "which audio player/editor/de/wm/$whatever to use?".
that's just how it is. if you go to a gentoo forum and ask which distro to choose, do you think there will be many people that recommend to use debian or suse? i don't think so...

i don't want to piss you off or sth, but that's just what you get, when you ask on a specific forum ;)

Azureus is also a great client for torrents.

BitTornado and BitTorrent (the client, not the protocol) are both limited in my opinion.

Deluge is a gtk app so it meshes best with GNOME.

Too bad there's no native port of uTorrent to Linux :frown:

It does work in Cedega, however. Not that I use Cedega. But that's the word on the street.

As mentioned above, have already installed Deluge. It would take me some time to
discover the intrinsic qualities. Then I can try out ktorrent as well, which you have
suggested. Thanks. I try to be less dogmatic but don't always succeed.

I was under the impression that Cedega allowed Windows games to play natively under Linux...does this also apply to Windows apps? If that's true, why not simply run Wine or CrossoverOffice beta? [their beta is more robust] I just noticed that utorrent now has what they call their WebUI that allows for usage over the net (don't know if the client must be installed or not..I'm assuming it does, and that uTorrent WebUI merely allows you to control your own client from far away--which would be nice, don't get me wrong.

...Still working on that code, but 'xargs' is working fantasticly (is that a word?)--still may revert to 'locate' though as it runs quicker. We'll see...:cool:

Actually, uTorrent works well in plain Wine, you don't even need Cedega.

[drezha]

Yeah.

It was my client of choice on Windows and used it on linux under wine fine. I'm now using Deluge but at times I have to go back to uTorrent (such when download speeds are awful)

[Choad]

uTorrent is the balls. thats why i really want deluge to kick some *** when its done, so we have a native replacement

[ububaba]

Yeah.

I also had to resort to BitTorrent for the same reason. Now, something stranger
is occuring. Deluge stops after a moment of use and then disappears. I have tried
to find out the reason but did not succeed. I uninstalled and then reinstalled it but
there was no improvement in performance. What is the expert opinion on this?](*,)

[drezha]

Saying that I'm sticking with Utorrent again and again at the minute. SOmething DRASTIC's happened to Deluge. Download speeds are non existent (not quite litterally) upload speeds are very bad and the amount of connections is low.

I was trying to seed a linux distro on linuxtracker but was only getting one connection. Changed to Utorrent and bam, 5 or 6 straight away.

I've not yet had Deluge crash like that though.
