| said by iansltx:The use Transmission. It's free and open-source. It's *nix based (no Windows) but you can pick it apart and see for yourself whether the encryption has a backdoor. Pretty good choice. An even better choice is rtorrent. It's free and open source, as well and can run on most any modern flavor of *nix, not just Linux. The interface takes a bit of getting used to for some, but I think it's close to the most efficient I have seen. Real gem of the client is its performance with high speed(100 mbit+) pipes, but it's great all around. |

| Tried using rtorrent, but was a bit hard to set up, whereas Transmission comes installed on anything with GNOME so more people are likely to have it. Also, most folks won't be hitting private trackers on their home computers with 100+ Mbps connections, at least yet. Though I agree, rTorrent is crazy fast when you've got a big enough pipe. As for me, Transmission has no problem maxing out my 22/5 on Comcast  |
