qBittorrent if you want a drop in replacement for uTorrent, otherwise Transmission is great if you want it running in the background and like having some command line control.
Another vote for qBittorrent. I switched to it, after uTorrent started adopting shady practices, such as installing other apps and changing my system settings, without permission.
It [qBittorrent] is ugly as sin and there are also a few hoops to jump through to get rid of OSX's "Allow qBittorrent to accept incoming confections?" alerts. But I've found it rock solid and more reliable than either uTorrent or Transmission
Couldn't agree more! I also use this service and download off it to avoid ISP notices.. http://put.io/ also if the torrent is popular enough (downloaded at least once) it will finish it instantly! Which is pretty awesome.
I see a lot of recommendations for Transmission and qBittorrent. Having used both of them, I found them both to be great.
My only concern is that the Transmission site was hijacked and the download was replaced with ransomware [1]. For those still using Transmission, what are your thoughts on this?
