I don’t often use BitTorrent at all, but Transmission is certainly the first client that comes to my mind, probably mainly because it came preinstalled with the distros I used when I was new to Linux (Debian and Ubuntu in the late 2000s). Not sure what advantages there are either way.
Why does anyone use this over qbit?
It works great headless on my server. It does what it is supposed to do without any bloat that I would not use anyway.
It’s lightweight, open source, and does exactly what it’s supposed to.
I kind of legacyed my way into it. It was the first thing I grabbed after uTorrent went to hell decades ago.
What is the advantage of qbit over it?
Qbittorrent feels a lot closer to what uTorrent used to be, while Transmission has more of a Mac-style simplicity to it.
My main point of concern is most of my indexes often ban versions of transmission but I never see that for qbit.

That makes sense, qbit was the first recommended to me too.
