Web seeding support allows downloading file parts from an HTTP source alongside the swarm. It's usually used for long-term seeding and easing some of the load on web hosts that supply direct downloads by offering a BitTorrent download as an alternative while still ensuring that the file is always available in its entirety regardless of the swarm. rTorrent lacks this functionality. See More
qBittorrent covers basics such as Prioritization, Selective Downloading, DHT, PEX, LPD and Magnet URIs as well as Broadcatching, Sequential downloading and Search. It includes MSE/PE for security. It has graphical, web and command line interfaces. Has UPnP, NAT-PMP, NAT traversal for automatic router configuration. Has UDP tracker and µTP data transfer protocol support. Even covers Tracker Exchange, IPv6, web seeding, Embedded tracker, Super-seeding and proxy servers. See More
Can configure to what ratio (amount uploaded/amount uploaded) the torrent should be seeded. You can also configure on whether you want them to be paused or removed after this. May also set this directly in the ~/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf: [Preferences]
Bittorrent\MaxRatio=2.5
Bittorrent\MaxRatioAction=0 # 0=Pause, 1=Remove See More
Tixati covers basics such as Prioritization, Selective Downloading, DHT, PEX, LPD and Magnet URIs as well as Broadcatching and Sequential downloading. It includes MSE/PE for security.

Tixati suggests ways to improve the overall download speed through pop-up tips, helpful hints and a tutorial available on the site. It explains how to properly throttle outgoing bandwidth to not affect download speeds, how to make sure all incoming connections are received and that DHT receives all incoming UDP packets. See More
Transmission works well on OSX and various distributions of Linux due to having interfaces natively developed for those operating systems instead of haphazardly ported. The Mac interface is written in Objective-C, uses dock badges and Growl notifications while the GTK+ interface follows GNOME Human Interface Guidelines and has support for popup notifications, desktop sounds, and a system tray. There's also an unofficial port of Transmission-Qt for Windows. See More

Has UPnP, NAT-PMP, NAT traversal for automatic router configuration. Has UDP tracker and µTP data transfer protocol support. Even covers IPv6, Web seeding and Local Peer Discovery. And it auto-updates. See More
While the app is clearly going for minimalism, some users might feel that the default window that consists of just torrents and their progress bars might provide a bit too little information or functionality. For example, even accessing file lists requires opening up a separate window and navigating to a specific tab. See More
Combines the swarms of multiple torrents that have the same file, allowing for faster downloads, and completion of torrents lacking available pieces. This means if a torrent is stuck at 99%, Vuze can add another torrent with the same file, and only have to download the 1% from other other torrent's peers. See More
Vuze covers basics such as Prioritization, Selective Downloading, DHT, PEX and Magnet URIs as well as Broadcatching, Sequential downloading (paid) and Search. It includes MSE/PE for security. It has graphical and web interfaces. Has UPnP, NAT-PMP, NAT traversal for automatic router configuration. Has UDP tracker and µTP data transfer protocol support. Even covers IPv6, web seeding, Embedded tracker, Super-seeding and proxy servers. And it auto-updates. See More
Although Vuze supports subscriptions (RSS feeds) the custom options are seriously lacking. In uTorrent you can set it up so that it only downloads the most recent episode of a show and only one copy of it, with Vuze if you have Auto Download turned on you get everything you didn't manually filter out. In a TV series with 30 episodes per season you need to manually add every episode that you've already downloaded to the "do not download" list and if there are multiple versions of the latest episode you can expect to have Vuze download them all. There is a plugin that promises to make this process simpler, but it seems that there are a lot of unnecessary hoops to jump through. That said it's a small price to pay to get the functionality back. uTorrent/BitTorrent's feeds have suddenly stopped working for many due to the recent shutdown of Torcache See More
BitTorrent covers basics such as Prioritization, Selective Downloading, DHT, PEX, LPD and Magnet URIs as well as Broadcatching, Sequential downloading and Search. It includes MSE/PE for security.

Uses way too much background data, while task manager and bittorrent up on the foreground and Bittorrent showing a combined 300kb/s up/download avg on the torrents & TaskManager showed it was actually using an avg of 1000kb/s. There is no way it should be using this amount, and makes one wonder what it's up to. See More
Sequential downloading can be used to stream media files such as video and audio while the download is still in progress. By default, Deluge requires waiting until the complete file is downloaded before it's ready for use. But it should be mentioned that there exists a plugin: https://github.com/JohnDoee/deluge-streaming for video streaming from Deluge. See More

Deluge creates all the files even those that you marked "not download". Making your directories messy. This is very bad when you want to create a drive specific for large files and you are unable to delete or move small and unwanted files, such as a video partition with large allocation unit. [qbittorrent doesn't do that] See More
There's no way to manually override settings for download queuing that's available in other torrent clients. For example, if there are 2 files in the download list and the software is configured to queue just one at a time there's no way to force a download of both without changing the settings. A workaround plugin can be found here. See More
Broadcatching is a method of automatically downloading content as soon as it's available. Broadcatching in BitTorrent clients is usually implemented via RSS. Deluge requires manually selecting each download by default. Fortunately, there are multiple plugins available that add this functionality with the possible caveat of plugins not having the same quality standard as the client itself. See More
Tribler covers basics such as Prioritization, Selective Downloading, DHT, PEX and Magnet URIs as well as Broadcatching and Search. It includes MSE/PE for security. It has graphical, web and command line interfaces. Has UPnP, NAT-PMP, NAT traversal for automatic router configuration. Has µTP data transfer protocol support.

Midnight commander uses the full screen of the terminal in a very efficient way. It displays two panels for files horizontally. On the bottom it has the most useful commands with their corresponding key attached. All of this makes for a very intuitive interface both for beginners and experienced users. See More
Midnight commander is easy and intuitive to use. The most common commands are displayed in the bottom (move, copy, paste, delete, edit, view, make directory). Files can be selected with the arrow keys which move the cursor through them. The Enter key goes down in a directory. To move the focus between two panels the tab key is used. See More
