Hi all! I've recently used the torrents intensively, so had a close look at torrent clients on Fedora. So there is a proposition to replace the Transmission with the Deluge torrent client. As for me, Transmission has a really nice interface and works fine, but I've found that it's gui can be really freezing (the download is going fine, but the gui shows just a white blank window), there is something like Verification of Local Data, as for me it is very-very slow and can be done on one torrent at a time, so if there are a few torrents in a list, thye all are waiting till the Local Data of one of them is verified and only after that the download starts. So far, I've not found these troubles in Deluge.

Over the past years I've been switching between different torrent clients (azureus, deluge, bittorrent, linkage, transmisson) and transmission seems to work best. Deluge is a bit fat, I'd say. For default desktop, transmission can IMHO offer the best user experience while still keeping relatively minimalistic, responsive and easy to use UI.
Deluge also sometimes verifies local data and it's very slow as well, I don't recall whether it blocks other torrents though...

Transmission was chosen because it was low dependencies, and integrated well into GNOME, for the Desktop spin.
If you have specific bugs, I would advise you check the upstream Trac instance, and report the bugs there directly.
Switching interfaces and programs for this functionality on the basis of a bug is not a good idea when the problem seems to be a bug, rather than something fundamentally wrong with the application.
