Best Free BitTorrent Client

[ayanavish]

Tixati is the top pick this year as it runs fast, offers a lot of information and has the most appealing interface in a very efficient package, RAM and CPU wise.

Tixati always seems to be in active development and the developers are receptive to users input. The wide variety of layout options are indicative of their responsiveness to users. Tixati has all the features that an average user wants.

Their help facilities have grown, but have gotten a bit out of date.. Their forums are responsive, I was surprised to find that Tixati does not support web seeds. Generally not an issue, but there will be an issue with the 3 million torrents at Archive.org as many of those are seeded by web seeds.

Many users will like the colored display and the many options for display as well as the vast amount of information offered within a program that uses relatively little system resources. The clean install will appeal to all.

Pros: Stable and efficient with a good variety of options. Developers are active and responsive to user requests. Attractive interface. Good help resources. Clean install.

Do private trackers permit Tixati..?

Most trackers have banned this client.

The few clients i have used over the years are

1. Deluge - Very aggressive in peering can literally rape your CPU but gives max speed close to IDM
2. rTorrent - A perfect balance of speed and performance comes second when it comes to speed.
3. uTorrent 2.2 - Good old client still rocks.
4. Transmission - Very low on resource consumption can work on literally anything.

I still use uTorrent. Never switched to anything else after that.

Vuze works for me best on PC, Deluge on Pogoplug

 

[raksrules]

utorrent for me on PC, never tried anything else
iTransmission on my iPad

 

[dinjo]

Never liked deluge on pogoplug since it used to crash a lot due to low powered device

 

[Nalin]

Maybe because Transmission didn't worked out for me on Pogoplug

 

[dinjo]

Transmission is only client which works easily and its recommended , whats your cpu usage and what speed does it gives you asking this since it peaks cpu usage

@ayanavish

As an app, Tixati is an allrounder. It has a great simple interface, efficient, simple to use with good features, and a clean install devoid of extras, with a great team that responds and listens to users.

For private trackers, you should really see their FAQs to find out the banned list. As @dinjo said, uTorrent (and rTorrent) is still the preferred one in most of the places.
