Any opinions about KTorrent?

Used it for a while as a KDE Plasma user, but one day I realised that qBitTorrent is also built using Qt and simply went with it. It is basically the same thing but more refined.

I swear qbittorrent looks like gtk

Depends on the theme you use. In KDE Plasma it looks a bit weird because it's Qt6, but Plasma is migrating to Qt6 in the following months.

It's, fine. But I prefer qbittorent. Transmission is also great for being so simple if you only occasionally sail the seas.

I found KTorrent to be slower than qbittorrent when connecting to peers and downloading files. Often times, it would just completely stall, whereas qbittorrent would download it just fine.

It's not bad, I prefer qbt however, no real reason it's just what I'm used to.

It has everything I need and nothing I don't. Maybe the UI isn't as nice as other solutions, but it's fine for me. Also, it comes preinstalled with Plasma, so I didn't have the need to install anything else

I think the UI is quite nice, but is there any security flaws, must do configurations or something like that that I need to know about? It seems like the internet is falling apart, and if netflix halvens one more time, I'll need set sail and I need a secure way to do that, because I'm young and poor.
