For anonymous torrenting, use a vpn. What the other reviewers are saying is just a pack of lies. It does work perfectly fine. Remember to allow it in the firewall or turn firewall off, use port forwarding. I tick on port forwarding in pia vpn and type the port number into preferences-network in Transmission. Easy as that, it finds all the peers listed on piratebay and it downloads at good speeds and I have never had trouble connecting or staying connected with other peers and had it running continiously for days. Used it a lot, it's almost always up and running, downloading movies and series. If you don't use port forwarding then it has trouble finding peers and download speed can be as low as 1-2kb.
Great. But for anonymous torrenting, use Tribler (it's available as a flatpak)
Good: It's very simple, easy to get started with and user friendly with superfluous advanced functions hidden away to avoid overcrowding its UI. Bad: It appears to have difficulty in consistently establishing connection to other torrent clients, especially if it's been running for a long time it has great trouble finding peers to connect to, thus I cannot recommend it for server usage. It is however fine for typical usage. Alternatives: Deluge.
Transmission often has a lot of serious issues e.g. version 2.9.2 which is banned on almost all trackers. The code should be checked more thoroughly and it should not come pre-installed with Mint or any other Linux OS.
Automatic computer shutdown after torrent(s) is(are) downloaded - missing function!
