I'm personally more fond of deluge, it has features Transmission does
not have (last I checked) like seeding only to a set ratio, it has a
Right-click on a torrent, torrent info, see the options tab.
nice plugin system to extend the client and much more without making
the
interface azureus-like in complexity.
I found deluge heavier (it's written in Python) and the UI more
contrived. Transmission's written in C, and has that GNOME/MacOS X (it's
a very popular client on MacOS X) philosophy about keeping things
simple, yet powerful.
I don't doubt Deluge is nice, but it's far too complicated as a default
client, IMO.
