Deluge is a pretty good client, open source (no trojan or spyware features…), frequently updated, comes with plugin system (ALOT of plugins). The gui is functional and plain, could handle a lil more eyecandy.

Also in the news:

However and as far as I’m aware, uTorrent is no good for Macs. If I’m wrong, please let me know. I’m sick to death of Azureus.

[...] Windows/Mac/Linux: Freeware application Deluge is a lightweight, cross-platform BitTorrent client. Aside from the standard BitTorrent functionality (you know, downloading), Deluge has a—dare I say—flood of great features for such a young client, including a web interface (like uTorrent and Transmission), full encryption, RSS support, and a plug-in system for adding even more functionality. In fact, if anything Deluge is an attempt at building a cross-platform BitTorrent client with the chops of the popular Windows-only uTorrent, and so far it looks promising. Deluge is free, open source, works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Deluge [via FreewareGenuis] [...]

Does nobody use Bitcomet? It’s the only one that gives me anything good. I might try this out later though.

I have been using uTorrent for some time now. Recently, after a LOT of trial and error and digging around, I discovered that uTorrent can cause random blue screen’s under Vista. If you run uTorrent and frequently have crashes mentioning tdx.sys this is likely the cause. I only experience it when my system is “idle” for a period of time with uTorrent running. I use a laptop and it seemed to only happen when the lid was closed. Seemed to crash about once a day with no real pattern. This was a real pain to track down and I now only use it when necessary and do not leave it running when i am not actively using my system. Deluge looks very similar in design. I like my torrents so I am going to give this app a shot.

I installed it. Maybe a great torrent program, but I found the GUI unappealing. Looks like the typical old timed Linux based GTK ported applications to Windows.

The Gimp is also ported from a GTK based GUI to Windows, however, it looks much better now (very close to the native UI of Windows). So does Pidgin, the open source multi-platform chat client, which again uses GTK. I hope the Deluge developers take notice of how other GTK based programs are looking fine on Windows. Until they do something, I’m sticking to uTorrent.

Deluge .5.9.0 is ready! Maybe this is more stable! Great .torrent client though

@fretus, methinks a crashing uTorrent client is a problem on your system only. It doesn’t crash on any of my systems, actual WinXP or VM WinXP with Ubuntu.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. In your case, something is broken but it’s probably not uTorrent. Try removing it and cleaning the registry and user configurations in Documents and Settings.

uTorrent used to be great. Then it started crashing with version 1.7.? With 1.7.7 they fixed that they said. Well, not really.

So, does anybody have crash reports on Deluge? or does anybody know/have old uTorrent version before it became a crashy program?

Thanks

Sorry to see you’re getting exposed to some fanboy-ism. I do like utorrent, but I don’t like it’s not open source. I’ll give deluge a look. Thanks!

Thanks Samer for introducing an alternative to Transmission for Ubuntu.I like Deluge better on Linux but must admit uTorrent on Windows is great.

@Hiram,
A new client won’t address these issues, but enabling safe “blocklists” prbably will help quite a bit. Click the following link for more info: http://deluge-torrent.org/faq.php#6n31

I’ve been using BitTorrent for a while now, and my biggest problems with it are three-fold. One, not enough people seeding a large file; two, people who seed spam, velveeta, viruses, and trojans under assumed names–I suspect most of them are just re-seeding something they downloaded, rather than deliberately trying to infect my system, but it honks me off either way; and three, my internet provider is Comcast.

A new client isn’t going to address any of those issues, but that webUI might be worth a closer look. Thanks for alerting me to the program.

Looking at the screenshot,
If you changed the icon to the one used by uTorrent, I’d probably never even notice. haha!

I’ll have to see how it fares on the home network.
