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?)
Yeah, I’ve used qbittorrent, deluge, utorrent, and a number of other clients over the years. I greatly prefer transmission. I don’t need my torrent client to do anything but download and seed.
I bet this person hates GIMP too.
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

Sure you can, click the gear icon and do it. Not hard.

Transmission is awesome because it’s simple. It only does what you need and has the best UI for doing so.
I’m caught between the dual urges of “reject tierlist, embrace tradition” and “I’ve been sleeping on over a decade of FOSS torrent client development, maybe it’s time to up my game”.
I have seen this same image circulated for years. We need a new one because transmission in D tier is unacceptable.
ruTorrent makes rtorrent a lot more usable if you dont like the CLI.
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.
Why would I want those extra features in my torrent client? My transmission runs in a container and does its job
I like Transmission, it’s minimal and downloads torrents.
May I also mention aria2? I don’t think it counts as a torrent client but it supports torrenting.
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
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.
This triggers me. Transmission is perfect.
qBittorrent is indeed the best, but ranking Transmission so low just screams edgy kid trying to dislike the “normie” alternative.
The “normie” alternative in this case is uTorrent. Only Linux users know about transmission lol
rankings from /g/
everyone who is seriously replying to this: LOL
Toxicity aside some of the generals on there are very informative
What’s g?
4channel’s Technology board
https://boards.4channel.org/g/Technology section of 4chan.
I believe it is the gaming board from 4chan
BiglyBT having a chat feature boggles me, why would anyone want that in their torrent client?
To get in those private trackers
Transmission as a server is very good and lightweight, specially if you pair it with something like Flood and the *arr apps
