I'll have to checkout Deluge. Got real sick of µTorrent's shit after Chrome and IE were hijacked in multiple places to use Yahoo Search as the default search/homepage, with a Spigot affiliate code. Nowhere was I asked if this was OK, or allowed to opt out, and I spent 2 hours having to make sure there wasn't anything else going on with my system.

I heard from a friend at the time that Tixati was another decent BT client.

And for Python development, a Vagrant installation works wonders, as does PyCharm, which I was telling to shut up and take my money after 3 minutes.
