For Windows users I'd recommend Deluge, because its interface is more like uTorrent but without all the adware and plus it's open source.

I see your deluge and raise it to https://www.qbittorrent.org/

I'm a fan of client-daemon architecture, such as Tmux/Screen and IRC bouncers.

With that in mind I can recommend Tmux/Screen + rtorrent (daemon, ncurses) [1] + flood (WebUI) [2] for if you don't have CLI. Works well in Docker.

qBittorrent is the best for me feature wise. Also cross platform.

I personally prefer qBittorent. Specifically the Portable version.

Take a look at WebTorrent Desktop, which supports instant streaming. Disclosure: I'm the author ;)

Simple, straightforward torrent app.

This is my go to torrent client. Simply delightful to use and very nice UI. Also the tech on webtorrent.io is awesome and not to be overlooked, thank you so much for making it!

Webtorrent Desktop user here... thanks for your work!

uTorrent 2.x for lyfe.

Can be easily found on various mirror sites - just gotta be sure to never, ever, let it update beyond 2.2.1.
