100%. I stopped using them a very long time ago after they changed their UI to what it is now. I realized then it was compromised because the UI no longer served a useful purpose and instead prioritized visuals and engagement.
It’s interesting how a UI overhaul can be a red flag. Recently for me it was Bitwarden’s overhaul a little while back with all the cute emoji like graphics and rounded corners and stuff
I run Deluge for the same reason. AutoRemovePlus plugin and a couple others go a long way and just like Transmission it has a web-ui for remote management, so I can VPN back to my home network and manage deluge from my phone’s browser.
uTorrent has been compromised for years. I like Transmission for its simplicity.
Yeah nearly 20 years I think. It’s not open either. If you can’t figure this out god help you rawdogging the internet with torrents.

Proton vpn is next on my chopping block.
Nice, I’ve been looking over alternatives for exactly that myself. Let me know if you find a good one. This world sure is in a state

Switched from Transmission to web-qBittorrent. Easy switch woth docker and Ive been happier. For transparency I rarely use it, though.
