Right now "torrent software" links to µTorrent web site, which is a closed source software. I would be best to recommend a free and open source one (like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_(BitTorrent_client) Transmission]) or point to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clients comparison of BitTorrent clients in Wikipedia]. Looking at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clients#Operating_system_support operating system support] I see that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QBittorrent qBittorrent] is the only one which can run on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, iOS and Android. If you want to recommend only one client, it seems like the universal one. | Right now "torrent software" links to µTorrent web site, which is a closed source software.

:You are right. The point is that, even if a closed-souce software, utorrent is a really good bittorrent client. I use myself Transmission, but Transmission is buggy with web seeds, so we can not recommend it. I don't know qBittorrent, this is a problem. If If I had to change to an open-source software, I would propose [http://deluge-torrent.org/ deluge]. You can change for deluge if you want, I agree.

::I also use Transmission (in Debian stable). Just tried Deluge on Windows 7 and the GUI freezes from time to time. In the same machine, with the same torrents, µTorrent worked correctly. I'm sure there is no single client which is open source, bug free, multiplatform, with the prettiest GUI and recently updated. That's way I would prefer a more neutral approach and link to the comparison of clients. | |||
