Transmission from Best BitTorrent Clients
Some people are calling Transmission the best torrent program simply because it’s convenient and has a large number of features. It is included in some of the Linux-based operating systems by default. It supports magnet links, IPv6, has modifiable tool panel, improved progress bar, plenty of filtering options, simple planning tool and much more.

A long time Transmission user I recently tried utorrent and was hooked. Aside from dealing with RSS feeds, many sites that would not acknowledge my seeding under Transmission were seeing it under utorrent. I also like Vuse quite a bit except it seems less stable in my experience. I have also used Miro a lot as a torrent client /media manager/player, but the bugginess of that project's torrent client (specifically it reads many torrents as corrupted when other clients are fine with it) finally made me resort to using a separate torrent client, although I still use it as a media manager/player. If only Miro used the utorrent code for their client I would be totally content, or if utorrent added a media managing/playing function...
Can't trust bittorrent anymore. Despite the best efforts of torrent sites to issue commenting features on torrent files, the amount of fake files and trojans that get posted up on the networks are ridiculous. Downloading from mass upload sites, (MegaUpload, FilesServe, MediaFire, MultiUpload), is the future of internet file sharing. Not easy to track either.
I’ve heard that argument for years, and I have yet to get a virus or trojan. Since I use μTorrent I can see the individual files and look for anything that doesn’t make sense, like certain files having strange sizes or a video being packaged with its own “decoder”.
