Best Torrent client on macOS Big Sur

[elite953]

Can anyone suggest which is the best Torrent client on macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 ?
Vuze torrent client which was running smoothly on Catalina , it is freezing and not responding on Big Sur. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to mention that torrent client qbitorrent is running fine on Big Sur but problem is that downloading speeds on healthy seeding torrents is only 1MBps where my internet connection is 30mbps (D/L & U/L speed= 3.75 MBps)

Transmission is OK.

Qbittorrent is OK. Check your preferences, especially global download speed.

global download speed is already set to unlimited. now what ?

That's the solution. In BS you have to set it to another value than unlimited, e.g. to your max ISP download speed.

Then it works fine.

I had the same problem. qBittorent sets it to inifite. After I set it to 22000 KiB/s (I have 220 Mbps down) it works as before the upgrade.

i have set global download speed to 30mbps which is my current ISP connection but still no result

I am using Transmission since I moved to Catalina and had to give up Bittorrent. I find Transmission fast and simple and enough if you don't like to tinker to too many parameters...

Folx Go. Best I've used since giving up on Vuze some time ago.

I'm also a stranded Vuze user and just got Transmission. You are right very fast but also very basic. I'll stick with this until Vuze supports Big Sur.

I don't believe Vuze is in development any more. I switched to Transmission when I got a new Mac a few months ago and while it's comparatively basic, it's sufficient for my purposes.

 

[Rodan52]

Folx go has the best search function I have ever had in a Bittorrent client but I suppose it depends what you use it for.

Thank you so much! Been fighting this all day! Instantly fixed it.

QBittorrent currently has a bug on Big Sur where it either just stalls or downloads extremely slow. It's usually my client of choice though

 

[KrisAK]

Another vote for Transmission. QBittorrent simply didn't work, and I was shocked that Transmission just up and ran.

 

[viettanium]

Transmission, even has dark mode

 

[greenmeanie]

Transmission-bt has my vote.
Also use it with Linux.

If you don't need all those advanced features then uTorrent (runs on localhost) is an option too. It works fine and can reach speeds ~30MB/s over wifi without overloading CPU.

You're the man loekf! Glad I came across this thread. I am now getting about 4 Mbps per second now after making this change. When the global download was set to unlimited I was only getting about 500 Kbps, a HUGE DIFFERENCE.

BiglyBT is the new Vuze, work well with Big Sur. It will transfer all your old Vuze settings and so on.

Transmission works great. I can’t even remember when I first used it (on my Pismo, or even my Performa?), anyway it’s been around for ages.

 

[Apple_Robert]

Many claim Transmission works well.

 

[slavikatsarov]

I've use transmission for last 5-6 years and works more than great. Recommended
