For all those experienced linux users here, I need your opinion/expertise on what's the best BT client for Linux (Ubuntu to be specific, though i doubt that matters).

I already have utorrent running on WINE now but I want to know if there are better alternatives out there. I'm mainly interested in something similar to utorrent's lightweight resource capability.

A while back I had the same choice and went with Torrentflux - haven't regretted it since. rTorrent did have some web interfaces but they were no match against the imho superior Torrentflux. Maybe that has changed since?

I am using wine + utorrent 1.6.1 , but the best are deluge, transmission and rtorrent. :)

If those are the best, how come you're not using them?

I use Deluge. It's very light and has almost every uTorrent resource.

Very nice tip! Uses up almost the same resources as utorrent without the WINE. I'll be using this for now.

ive tried azureus, rtorrent and utorrent+wine and all worked well.

for my home ubuntu system i am using utorrent+wine but on my seedbox i plan on using rtorrent+libtorrent.

i don't recommend azureus at all on linux, i had some major memory leaks problem running it on my server and it just takes too much ressource anyway

i tried all of them except deluge, i'll give it a try

Many CLI RSS readers out there. It's possible to have the torrents downloaded to a particular directory and have rTorrent watch and automatically import new torrents from the directory.

Because they are not allowed everywhere.....

PS : And because of the WebUI of course. ;)
