How is qBittorrent on macOS?

[ProQuiz]

According to the official qBittorrent website, the macOS version is "barely supported." Does this mean the macOS version is full of bugs and whatnot? What is the best or most preferred torrent client on macOS?

Works great and still gets updates. Even if it stops being supported there’s not a whole lot to a torrent client so as long as the core functionality works then whatever.

I used qBitorrent in the past, almost everyday. But once I couldn’t resize columns and then I moved to Transmission. It’s nice.

I've used BiglyBT daily for the past several years. It's a bit of a beast as a Java client, but I'm happy with it.

Same here. Works great on my M2 Mac Mini.

I currently am seeding >6TB with qBittorrent v4.6.2 and I've used qb for a long time. I think it is one of the best and most stable to have on a mac. I use it on multiple different mac's from a 2015 MBA to a mini M2.

I’ve been using qBittorrent every day since uTorrent stopped making a macOS app.
The only serious bug I’ve noticed during this time was a crash when using “Open destination folder”. It’s fixed now.

Have you tried Transmission? If yes, how did it compare to qBittorrent on macOS?

I have Transmission installed, but I rarely use it. It does’t have certain features, like selecting the network interface. In qBittorrent I can restrict the connection to the VPN connection (Settings – Advanced – Network interface).
