Before we start, check out this #privacy pro tip: always use a #VPN to hide your real IP address when torrenting. #Torrenting is great b/c it’s #decentralized. That also means the peers you connect to see your IP address. So hide it.

Our top recommendation is #Transmission. You can use it on MacOS, Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD. The UX is great, and it’s lightweight with a lot of features. And it works with #ProtonVPN. 💪
Next is @qbittorent, which works on MacOS, Windows, and Linux. It’s lightweight, can stream video content, and is fully featured. There are some issues with MacOS, and it’s easy to misconfigure binding to the #VPN interface. You run the risk of exposing your traffic.
We also recommend #libretorrent. It has almost everything you’d want in a torrent client. You can stream videos & it comes w/ features to improve your mobile experience. No real cons to speak of, except it’s only available on Android, including F-droid, & has Android TV support.
#BiglyBT is another open-source torrent client - available for Windows, MacOS, Linux, & Android. Though it feels old-fashioned, it has Android TV support, swarm merging, & you can bind it to the VPN interface. You can also install various plugins to expand its capabilities.
Our final recommendation is #Deluge. Its feature list is shorter than the other open-source clients, but it’s super lightweight and includes almost everything you could want in a client.
