This article will contain the best torrent apps 2018 for Linux and also Windows. Some of these best torrent apps will be available also for MacOS. I am a guy who respect open source software, and no ads in my applications. So that’s the way we are headed. µTorrent is one of the most popular torrent software for Windows, but why? It used to be good, but in my opinion, it’s too stuffed with ads. Unless of course you’re using the pro version of it.

Best Torrent Apps 2018, for Linux and Windows

Let’s get listing the applications. You may or may not have heard of this first one. In my opinion, it’s the best, period.

First choice, Deluge, the best torrent app

Deluge can be recommended for anyone who is downloading or uploading torrents.

Platforms:

• Linux
• Windows
• MacOS
• FreeBSD

As you see, it’s available for installation on most common computer OS’s. Deluge’s front end is coded in Python. It’s fully Free and Open Source, and it doesn’t contain any ads.

Deluge was started by two members of ubuntuforums.org, Zach Tibbitts and Alon Zakai, who previously hosted and maintained the project at Google Code, but who subsequently moved it to its own website.

Deluge contains the common features to BitTorrent clients such as Protocol Encryption, DHT, Local Peer Discovery (LSD), Peer Exchange (PEX), UPnP, NAT-PMP, Proxy support, Web seeds, global and per-torrent speed limits. It also has a great plugin system and there is a lot of plugins for it, here.
Deluge has been designed to run as both a normal standalone desktop application and as a client-server. It has three different user interfaces, GTK for the desktop, Web for browser and Command Line Console user interface.

On most Debian based systems, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, so on, you can install Deluge with sudo apt-get install deluge
Download Deluge now!

Second choice for Best Torrent Software, Transmission

Transmission is already installed in some Linux Distributions, like Ubuntu, and Debian 9. It is a very simple user interface, but less advanced when compared to Deluge. If you don’t need the proxy features etc. You totally should try out using transmission. It does not contain ads or try to install bulls**t on your computer while the installation, like many other commercial software does.
Transmission is a fast, easy, and free BitTorrent client. It comes in several flavors:

• Windows 7 or later -> Early preview
• A native Mac OS X GUI application
• GTK+ and Qt GUI applications for Linux, BSD, etc.
• A headless daemon for servers and routers
• A web UI for remote controlling any of the above
