What's everyone's go to torrent client these days? I'm on latest MacOS which apparently doesn't work with uTorrent anymore 😢
Discussion
QBittorrent
FOLX
I find qBittorrent very convenient since it integrates search via plugins.
GM, I haven't used one in a while, but I think transmission is popular on mac
I use Flud but it's not available for iOS. The best iOS alternatives are iTorrent and iTransmission.
I recently started using qBittorent in a docker container, that only allows traffic through another container using gluetun so it all passes through a VPN without affecting the host network.
It works really well so far. I can share the docker compose file if you are interested.
Yeah would love to see the docker file.
Best way to sent it to you?
github gist?
Mine is set up using protonvpn and wireguard but I'm sure the gluetun image can be used with any vpn provider.

Hi jeffG 🏴☠️🤟😉 You could try qBittorrent it’s lightweight, open-source, and works well on MacOS without the bloat that comes with other clients. It also doesn’t have the shady ads like uTorrent. Definitely a solid option for anyone looking for a more secure, straightforward experience.
qbittorrent is pretty nice and you can give it a proxy so it only communicates through that

Qbittorrent or deluge
