Recommendations for torrenting with linux?

[presi300@lemmy.world]

Mullvad all the way

Mullvad + Transmission

[steeznson@lemmy.world]

I use i2p for torrents exclusively. It's slow but totally private so I can seed without needing to mess about with a VPN.

There is a slightly smaller community but the people on there have similar tastes to me: linux textbooks, GOG games, jazz albums, etc.

qbittorrent.

What's wrong with Surfshark?

[penguin202124@sh.itjust.works]

KTorrent (KDE) or Transmission (GNOME).

GNOME is the default on Ubuntu, Fedora and lots more. KDE is default on OpenSUSE, KDE Neon and Kubuntu.

This; Linuxserver Qbittorrent docker with gluetun to make sure all traffic goes through your VPN.

[electric_nan@lemmy.ml]

I don't use docker, so I just set the interface to the tun0 or whatever in the qbittorrent config.

[gustavom@lemmy.world]

rtorrent for me.

[merthyr1831@lemmy.ml]

Nothing over here like that. Seems quite consistent on memory usage.

Weird thing to downvote, this is how I tested Linux since if I broke something or wanted to try a different distro I just deleted the VM and tried another. It's way more annoying to distrohop once you've installed a system to your machine that also has all your files and configs set up.
