Deluge VS Transmission

[mrgnash]

Deluge for me. It seems far more in-tune with the features/simplicity balance adopted by most of the A-Grade Gnome applications. Transmission is a bit sparse for my tastes, and I didn't achieve the same level of performance with it in terms of download speed.

Transmission as I've written 2 patches for it which were accepted within minutes.

I tried downloading the exact same torrent with both, with the same settings, and Deluge was nearly twice as fast for me. It may just have been a fluke, but I haven't touched Transmission since.

I've had the same experience. That's why I prefer Deluge.

i also tried to download the hardy beta cd via torrent

i tried it with transmission, it was stuck on 'connecting to peers' or something

then i tried it with deluge, it started connecting to peers immediately and i soon had like 400kb/s download rate

i prefer deluge.

not to mention that deluge 6, a complete rewrite of the program is gonna be cool (tagging and a lot of stuff that the utorrent freaks crave)

i had been using transmisison on hardy beta, but deluge seems to be much faster, but i think transmission is a great program and has a nice small interface

Well when I had Windows XP, the only program I used for my torrent needs was Utorrent. Now that I have Linux I only use Deluge. I find it very simple to use and it gets the job done with no fuss.

I use Deluge, but I'd like to use something that uses less resources. Unfortunately, Transmission lacks support for DHT, as well as encryption.

I'm using Transmission under Mac OS X and it does support encryption there. Since all version shares the same core library I very much doubt that encryption doesn't work with the GTK+ frontend. Too bad about the missing DHT support though, it makes dealing with slow trackers much more bearable.

Encryption does exist in the GTK+ port.

actually i never found a torrent client anywhere close to utorrent so i run it in wine

Transmission - right from their website you can tell it's more user friendly. They offer binaries for Macs, while Linux users - have fun compilin'. The deluge website meanwhile offers binaries for several version fo Ubuntu, both 32 and 64bit, and other distributions.
