    qBittorrent

    It's not the prettiest or full of do dads. But hey It get's the job done with no annoying ads. Settings are easy to manage and has a foolproof killswitch when coupled with your VPN and get's the job done in a very efficent manner. It's my go to program when doing p2p transfers.

    I just started dealing with a guy at work who retired from the US Air Force. He was a C5 Galaxy maintence crew. I will be working with him this week. He seems all fired up about that air frame.
