So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.

I didn't think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They're both just torrent downloaders.

Holy shit was I wrong. I don't even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don't even understand how.

A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.

Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?

Ya, my only issue with Deluge is after ~500 torrents it starts to slow. I'm on private trackers, so I always tend to have ~2,000 torrents seeding at once. For my particular usecase, it simply becomes too slow and bogged down to be viable.

Granted, I've not used Deluge in some 2 or 3 years; maybe they improved process handling since then? I'd love to be corrected if so.
