I only use Torrent with Transmission because that's what is sitting in my server.

I guess Porla isn't in any of those tiers because it's in completely different league. It's still in early development, just give it some time.

Honestly surprised uTorrent still exists. Used to be nice way back when. qB is pretty much the successor in every way.
Transmission that low though is a crime.
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 love and use qbittorrent exclusively but it gets bogged down when it has lots of torrents going. A-tier at best.

Good list. Honestly, if it doesn't have network interface binding it's not a even an option for me. It's so important to keep your IP from leaking, it should be a priority feature.
Why is Tixati banned?
I am still using the last (ancient) version of Azureus (Vuze) because it has great plugins. I have the plugin to allow it to use the Mainline DHT, and I use the i2p plugin too (because the default i2p torrent UI is bad). Azureus is (was) the only client that can download/seed a torrent on clearnet and i2p at the same time.
Having said that, I didn't know that BiglyBT has i2p support, so I need to check that out.
The Vuze devs forked the code and went on to create and continue developing BiglyBT. So technically if you want to keep using that client best to switch over to BiglyBT.
You can stay with the old Vuze if you want but it's no longer developed since it lost its devs.
Ah, thanks, I didn't realise it was a fork of Vuze. That explains the big overlap in features.
Not a great ranking imo, but the S tier is good
I'm still liking DS Get. I choose torrent files on my phone then hand off the download to the NAS.

Is there a docker container for BiglyBT that handles java and has a webUI, similar to qBittorrent? And can it integrate with the *arrs in the same way?
