Whoever designed that seems like they have something against transmission lol.

For me personally: it gets the job done, is allowed by most private trackers, fast and responsive, has a functional webui, and a very vast selection of third party apps (in addition to the cross platform first-party offering)

It’s simplicity is kind of its selling point. Only real criticism I have is that it’s unfortunate some of the supported features aren’t accessible in the first party apps, and especially from the lightweight web interface

Yeah, seems weird that simple “it downloads torrents” client gets a D. It gets the job done, is easy to figure out, and doesnt fuck about with features I would never touch. Maybe thats not enough for a power user but for me its exactly what I want.

(but then why is Tixati in B, seems to have mostly downsides?)

You need to read it again more carefully. Lightweight, highly customisable and feature-rich is why it is that high.

I guess I just don’t really know what feature-rich means in this context but being proprietary, not fully cross platform, and banned on most private trackers seems like huge downsides for power users compared to customization, built in search, and integrated chat.

I get this chart probably not made for people like me in mind though.

I personally use tixati, primarily because whatever special sauce they cooked it with let’s it run on the trashheap of a computer I use for torrenting when nothing else I’ve tried does. I’m not in any private trackers, nor do I really have a need to be, and like, not being usable on Mac is entirely irrelevant to everyone not using Mac. I personally don’t care if it’s proprietary, but that’s just down to individual preference.

I’m not really sure what feature rich means since I don’t have a comparison point, but there’s a lot of menus with options in them, and I figure they all do stuff someone more dedicated than myself may care about lol.
