I run it on a linux box at home, within a detached screen session, so that I can manage all my torrents from my laptop at school, from upstairs, or wherever. Then, since this box is just sitting there all the time, it boosts up my ratio a lot more than I could if I used utorrent on my laptop, which is only turned on a few hours a day. Additionally, I can pick something out to download while I'm out, at when I get home, it will already have been going for hours.

I used to have the exact same setup. However, rTorrent doesn't allow me to rename or move torrents, didn't organize my torrents, and, more importantly, stayed connected to seeds if it didn't have 100% of the torrent, even if parts were marked as "do not download" (in other words, it's a leecher in the sense that it hasn't completed the torrent, but only I told it not to download some files, so the correct behavior would be to disconnect from seeds). I generally prefer CLIs to GUIs, but Deluge won me out (it also runs on my headless machine and I connect to it using either the web or GTK interface).

The wikipedia comparing clients even have everything the same. is there some sort of security features or something that I am missing? Would it really be worth switching to uTorrent instead?

As far as I understand, BitTorrent isn't being developed any more.

Transmission works... but doesn't sort my torrents in any sensible way whatsoever. Deluge recently added a grouping by tracker domain which is really nice. The main reason I'm not using it is still the fact that I need something running on my headless machine that I can connect to remotely.

WingZero8788:
I use uTorrent. Best client I've used out of uTorrent, Azureus/Vuze, Azureus 2.5 and earlier, BitComet, BitTornado, and Ares.

AntiPaladin:
uTorrent, simple as that.

I've used every other major client, and they're either less stable or eat more memory (I'm looking at you, Azureus)

Jamesy:
uTorrent on Windows.
rTorrent (optionally coupled with wTorrent for web-based management) on linux.

vortex69:
Windows: uTorrent
Linux GUI: Transmission or Deluge (can't really decide, both are nice)
Linux CLI (command line): rTorrent (and an honourable mention to transmissioncli)
