Whoever designed that seems like they have something against transmission lol.
For me personally: it gets the job done, is allowed by most private trackers, fast and responsive, has a functional webui, and a very vast selection of third party apps (in addition to the cross platform first-party offering)
It’s simplicity is kind of its selling point. Only real criticism I have is that it’s unfortunate some of the supported features aren’t accessible in the first party apps, and especially from the lightweight web interface
Yeah, seems weird that simple “it downloads torrents” client gets a D. It gets the job done, is easy to figure out, and doesnt fuck about with features I would never touch. Maybe thats not enough for a power user but for me its exactly what I want.
(but then why is Tixati in B, seems to have mostly downsides?)
I feel like Transmission is getting unnecessary hate from this chart. It works very good, is stable, efficient…
its the perfect client for arr or just simple torreting
It’s lthe only one I’d use but…
It really is lacking basic functionality. Hell, o can’t even order torrents that are currently running by size or % done, which would be really helpful if it existed
Also, I don’t think it’s actively developed anymore, I haven’t seen an update in its functionality in at least 5 years, maybe even 10
Transmission is awesome because it’s simple. It only does what you need and has the best UI for doing so.
I have seen this same image circulated for years. We need a new one because transmission in D tier is unacceptable.
This post made me nostalgic for the days when uTorrent was the shit. Man, how the mighty have fallen.
Qbit has been around almost as long and has almost always been better. Qbit got apl the nostalgia i need lol
This triggers me. Transmission is perfect.
Transmission is probably one of the best clients to use in a headless setup. I think it usually ranks lower because it doesn’t do a lot of things for you. What it does it does well, but nothing beyond that. Technically there is network binding, but by IP address and not interface. That means you have to script it which I know most people aren’t going to want to do. As far as searching, again you have to rely on other services that probably do it better anyway. Still I rank it alongside qbittorrent. It just takes a less user or beginner friendly route.

The “normie” alternative in this case is uTorrent. Only Linux users know about transmission lol
BiglyBT having a chat feature boggles me, why would anyone want that in their torrent client?
there is Trimbler
