    Transmission is an easy-to-use, open source torrent client. It's an excellent alternative to uTorrent because it is open source, which means you can have higher confidence in it not violating your privacy, e.g. through reporting what you're downloading. Transmission is as good an alternative as qBittorrent, but has a simpler interface.

    BitSwarm implements Bittorrent Protocol v2 from scratch to achieve best performance and to expose low-level parameters for customization. It uses a custom thread pool and part files (APF) for fast resume from previous incomplete session.
