I was a long time user of transmission, but when I redid my *arr setup I devided to go to qbittorrent.

qBittorrent can handle way more simultaneous connections and torrents than transmission. It doesn't slow down, it supports tags, categories and even custom UI (vue-qbittorrent is awesome).

I'm not going back, especially when you have great docker images with WireGuard integrated in them.

From the download page:

> The macOS version is not well supported, because we don't have active macOS developers/contributors.

My hopes were dashed :(

Now you know how Windows users have felt for the past decade!

so you say there is no benefit for me to switch from qbit to transmission for ocassional torrent download? I seed only during download or very shortly after and at max I download 10-15 torrents

I don't think there is any benefit in switching, no.

You can even set proper limits in qbittorrent for your workflow to stop the seeding after X minutes.
