      it’s qbittorrent, not gbittorrent. that’s really why.

      transmission has been the default on so many gnome-based distributions for a very long time because of its gtk frontend… it also has a qt frontend, curses cli, daemon, windows qt build, and native mac versions…

      qbittorrent also runs on more than just linux, but is qt. only qt. how many qt-only applications find their way into the default package set for gnome or gtk desktops released by debian, ubuntu, mint, fedora, redhat, suse, etc, etc.

        Yeah, I much prefer cli front ends over web ones as all my torrent boxes have been headless. I realize with most client server archs I could connect via gui but still I prefer cli.

      It does what it used to do 15 years ago and it does it well. The arr-stack tried to make me use qBittorrent. I said no and did it with Transmission anyway.
