I’m really liking Deluge, myself.

Transmission is really fast and simple. I like Deluge a littlebit better though. It has a bit more features (which I all use) and it’s also very lightweight. Version 1.0.0 of the application was released just a few days ago and it’s absolutely amazing! You should really try it out.

You can’t beat btlaunchmanycurses in my opinion!

OK it’s not massively newbie friendly (runs in a terminal, not a GUI), but on the other hand, it’s very easy to just fire and forget it, and configuration isn’t particularly hard either (you just have to do it in the text editor of your choice, but it’s all the same stuff you’d have to enter in a GUI client).

Still, I did like uTorrent, and actually Transmission looks pretty good, so maybe I’ll give it a try after all!

@devnet Really? How come? It seems to be an easy to use torrent client, coming from a utorrent user perspective. utorrent was something I’ve used in Windows before.

I really, really, really despise transmission. It’s not new user friendly at all…and when I say new user, I once again mean NEW user…one that hasn’t used Linux before.
