FYI, I tried many others transmission, uTorrent etc.

I use it because it has similar interface as utorrent.

Isnt Deluge mostly for Linux? If so i imagine that would be a big factor

[invitelove20]

@The Lich  it is available for Linux, macOS and Windows. That is why i am wondering when i see most of the peers are using other clients.

I use Deluge for all my Torrenting Stuff. It is not a problem for me though. I think others don't use this because don't know about this client. The website is also a bit complicated for non-technical users.  I also found myself in some trouble when I was trying to download the Fedora variant of the Installer.  The link for that particular file is also dead . At last I had to install the software for the Ubuntu Variant.

on macos, Deluge wouldn't able to associate with magnet links, probably one of the reason.

Maybe because it is mainly written in Python ? And Python as scripting language is not so fast as C / C++ or other compiled languages?

Concerning seedboxes, rtorrent/ruTorrent is often the default installation so most people stick with that and don't even know that they can switch to other clients very easily.

[Voluntarist68]

Personally I've never tried it but feel comfortable with qbitorrent

[Yuzarsif07]

you cant add multiple torrents at once in deluge and that sucks

[Qatous]

Really ! I didn't know that. That maybe a strong no go for many users.

[Jiren]

because it is clean and ads free and does everything other torrent clients do.

[kushery]

I've used deluge but after trying rtorrent and transmission I switched.  Also some trackers won't allow deluge.

[decay]

I usually use transmission on windows, i now use qbitorrent its quite nice.

 

Never used deluge before, i will try to use it and feedback on this topic.

[Seeker37]

I don't like much because you can not add multiple torrents at one time. On my seedbox I use it for brand new torrents because it give me more upload then the other ones on the same seedbox.

[theglitch57]

Its great client but I like qbittorrent better so using that instead. 

[ntn888]

i used deluge when i was running windoze. now on linux and i believe transmission is installed by default.

[ntn888]

like to use rutorrnent on seedbox...

[peekaboo]

I use rutorrent + deluge.

the thing with deluge is, it crashes a lot :v . It can only accomodate 150-200 torrents. More than that would cause the app to slow and crash.

@invitelove20What is Deluge in your opinion better than for example qBitorrent?
I think the most mainstream clients all are pretty usable. Your post implies I'm missing out here.
I am aware of Deluge but I simply see no single reason to change. And if I would be rather curious to change to a more modern type of client.

Exatorrent for example

[lanacleto]

I used it years ago, but as other posters mentioned, when you have a high amount of torrents, it tends to get pretty sluggish. I have switched to qbittorrent and haven't looked back, it handles many torrents just fine.

[mrch]

@Voluntarist68 I use qbittorrent for a long time, too. Many private torrents website suggesting it.

[eric.]

Deluge is pretty decent but once you start piling on torrents, it starts to bog down. I also think the Deluge client runs much better on a Linux machine. There’s nothing wrong with Deluge but I usually maintain a large cache of seeding torrents. For that I use qbittorrent and Transmission (mainly Transmission 3.0).

I use before . but i think utorrent so much better
