The Linux version, in a container no less, handles the entire gigabit bandwidth.

And let's be clear, it wasn't the app that had problems, the Apple Remote Desktop connection to the machine failed when the speeds got above 40MB/s and the network interface stopped working around 80MB/s.

I think Transmission works perfectly fine. I've been using it for 10+ years with no issues at all on Linux.

I forgot to mention this is a Mac mini/Intel (2018).

I went to Transmission years and years ago because it's just simple. It has all the options if you need them, but no HUUUGE interface with RSS feeds, 10001 stats about your download, categories, tags, etc etc etc.

Transmission is just a small, floating window with your downloads. Click for more. It fits in the macOS vibe. But I'm a person that fully adopted the original macOS "way of working" - kicked the full-screen habit I had in windows and never felt better.

Can I ask, why would you go FROM Transmission to qBittorrent?

>why would you go FROM Transmission to qBittorrent?

In my case: some torrents wouldn't find known-good seeds in Transmission but worked fine in qBittorrent; there's reasonable (but not perfect) support for libtorrent 2.0 in qBittorrent; my download speeds and overall responsiveness is anecdotally better in qBittorrent, and; I make use of some of the nitty gritty settings in qBittorrent.

Well there's a list of good reasons! Thanks for answering. I haven't had any problems with finding seeds, and no need for libtorrent but now I know how to fix that when I do encounter those situations.

I haven't had any issue running BiglyBT on my M1 MacBook, granted I don't run it all day every day but everything runs plenty fast for my needs (25-30 MB/s for well-seeded torrents).
