yeah it works and in the latest version they switched from a bad Linux copy of utorrent's ui to just a copy of utorrent's ui

transmission is p. good and i think is the only torrent client without a direct cribbing of utorrent's ui in which i'm not constantly thinking how much better the utorrent ui would be


they did manage to get hacked and malware injected into the installer like twice in the past year tho

my problem with qbitorrent is that it's only available to download from an incredibly sketchy website, so i hate updating it even though the version i'm on is broken as garbage.

Transmission said they'd do a post about what happened but never did. Looks like someone popped their web server and replaced the file (Saw a post from one of the Panic guys that now whenever anything changes on their website, someone in their Slack has to comfirm it within 5 minutes or the whole website gets shut down). ESET did a look at the actual malware itself

transmission has a garbage ui. deluge is a bad copy of utorrent but it’s serviceable. I haven’t tried any other clients that aren’t in a repo I can trust because they are all sketchy as gently caress
