    Deluge sucks, especially because it's written in Python 🙂

    Transmission is THE BT client, written in C and with a web interface and the option of running only a daemon so that we can have it on our download server and access it even from the phone.
    KTorrent is more complete than Transmission but it is only useful if you make intensive use of torrents, both viewing and downloading them, it is a pity that it does not have the option to run only as a daemon.
    rTorrent: a good alternative for machines with few resources since it is a client for the console.
    MLDonkey: the motherfucker Kingpin of all downloaders.
