Proper /g/ Torrent Client Rankings

Proper /g/ Torrent Client Rankings v1.1 S qBittorrent: Popular cross-platform FOSS client utilizing low CPU and memory resources. Offers a built-in search engine, support for sequential downloading, network interface binding, proxies and RSS feeds. qBittorrent has a large community and is constantly being updated and improved. BiglyBT: FOSS cross-platform client and overall the most powerful one. Built-in I2P support, network interface binding, swarm discoveries & merging, chats and proper proxy/tunnel support, a customizable interface and automatic VPN protection. Additionally there's an Android version that also lets you control your client remotely. Runs on Java and therefore not lightweight. A Deluge: A robust, popular FOSS client that is similar in functionality to qBittorrent but lacks built-in search for torrents and requires plugins for RSS functionality. Runs on Python and slows down as the number of torrents increases. KTorrent: FOSS client from the KDE project. Apart from the missing search function, KTorrent is very similar to qBittorrent. Not available on Mac and Windows. B Tixati: Lightweight and highly customizable client that barely lacks any features. However, Tixati is proprietary, not available on MacOS, and banned on most private trackers. C rTorrent: Highly efficient FOSS client that consumes minimal system resources. Handles hundreds or even thousands of torrents without hassle. Being a command line application, it lacks a graphical user interface and features such as sequential downloading. Rather impractical for most users. UNIX only. D Transmission Lightweight, cross-platform FOSS client that lags behind its competition. It does what any torrent client does: download torrents, but no more than that. It has no embedded tracker functionality, supports no sequential downloads, no proxy servers, let alone network binding features. Even RSS support is not present. F uTorrent / BitTorrent: Proprietary clients that have no advantage over their competitors. Also, both uTorrent and BitTorrent have adware bundled with their installers.

A tier list ranks torrent clients from S to F, with qBittorrent and BiglyBT at the top and uTorrent/BitTorrent at the bottom. The joke is the blunt /g/ judgment that proprietary clients such as uTorrent and BitTorrent are inferior and come bundled with adware, while feature-rich open-source clients are preferred. It is shared as a humorous recommendation guide for choosing a torrent client.
