I’m not a fan of P2P technology, and I rarely download files from P2P network, that’s why I’m quite happy with Transmission Bittorrent Client (Ubuntu default). Last week, I had to download a files from P2P and using Transmission I feel it’s rather bit slow and too minimalistic GUI. There are many alternatives in Linux for your P2P needs, Vuze (formerly Azureus) based on Java, I already installed but didn’t succeed, another client is Bittornado, Bitstormlite, Bittorrent, and even somebody out there running uTorrent with wine….

I’ve already heard an application called Deluge but never tried to install it. Then I just give it a shot, I installed Deluge and testing the performance and compare it with Transmission. Surprisingly, I feel that Deluge has better performance than the Transmission, it has many features, better GUI and I feel its faster than Transmission Bittorrent Client. Currently I’m using Deluge 0.5.8.9 and will use it for my P2P activities until [might be] I have found another application which is better than Deluge. How about you? Have another favorite Torrent Client?
