Switched from uTorrent to QBitTorrent (lemmy.world)

So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.

I didn't think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They're both just torrent downloaders.

Holy shit was I wrong. I don't even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don't even understand how.

A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.

Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?

I tried grabbing Qbit and all I could find was malware. I used to be so so good at navigating all this stuff and stopped to stream for a little. ☹️

What OS do you have? If Windows, it is available in the Microsoft store.

I prefer Transmission, as they have Windows ports as well.

Yup, I'm using transmission in a docker container that ensures my VPN is always connected. Nice to not have to worry about that.

Transmission afaik does not have a built-in search functionality with plugins for popular trackers

[–] TwiddleTwaddle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago

That feature makes sense to aggregate search results from multiple public trackers, but if you (like me) use private trackers then it's almost always easier to just go to the actual website for your search. Not to mention any automation software such as the *arr stack make that feature obsolete. It's definitely a cool feature, but not useful for everyone.
