We only have a few, but they are important. Please read over the rules before contributing. We are a thriving community dedicated to helping users old and new understand and use torrents. Thanks to community-driven development, they've resisted the temptation to overload their BitTorrent clients with junkware to make a quick buck.Welcome to the torrents subreddit. With the exception of the old versions of uTorrent, they're all open-source applications. Sure, there are many more BitTorrent clients for Windows, but these are our favorite ones that won't try to install junkware on your system. It may have made sense to stick with uTorrent 2.2.1 years ago, but modern alternatives have improved dramatically. So why waste your time when you could use the similar and much more up to date qBittorrent? It will also never be updated to contain new BitTorrent features that could speed up your downloads. This software is over five years old and may contain security exploits that will never be fixed. Sure, you get to keep using uTorrent and you won't have to worry about updates trying to install garbage software onto your system, activating obnoxious ads, and pushing BitCoin miners on your PC.

In March 2016, Transmission's servers were compromised and the official Mac version of Transmission contained ransomware.

The official version doesn't support Windows, but the Transmission-Qt Win project is an "unofficial Windows build of Transmission-Qt" with various tweaks, additions, and modifications to work better on Windows.

In fact, it's installed by default on Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions. Transmission isn't as popular on Windows, mostly known as a client for macOS and Linux.
