Hello It depends on your hardware. In case you have a PC with low performance, you could have problems with some heavier apps. Of course I only speculate here as I have zero info about your set up. Anyway there is a plethora torrent clients. I can recommend transmission as very light solution for you to test. For more info, "K" applications as ktorrent can be really heavier and they install lots of KDE dependecies to your PC... Stefan itsfoss.com/best-torrent-ubuntu/ |

perhaps our friend here means the gui is too large, meaning for instance large parts of the gui, for example the close, minimize buttons go beyond the screen?

Oh, good point. Hard to understand the meaning. In this case use Alt key with pressed mouse left button to move the window. Resize the window to the shape which is sane...

Glad you solved it. I am a QBitTorrent user and highly recommend it, I especially love the torrent search feature, and find the user interface familiar and easy to understand. However it does require QT libraries, so if its your first QT app it seems to bring in lots of packages, but then when you install something else that uses them (like VLC or Virtualbox or most KDE apps) it won't need to install them all again.
Because its QT it doesn't use your Moksha/Elementary/GTK themes automatically, so depending how your variables are set, it may not follow your system application theme. On Bodhi 5.1 I have QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk2 which solves that for me; before setting that it was using its own default theme.

It was not a mistake installing via synaptic, it just means you got the version from ubuntu focal repositories from 2020, so not that recent, but still fully supported. I personally use a PPA for newer version tho 4.43, although can't remember if there was any reason I didn't like the default version, however I'm still on Bodhi 5.1 so my ubuntu repos are even older and I tend to install most apps from PPA for current version. But there's nothing wrong using the appimage if it works well for you either, it just wont won't update again without your effort (whereas PPAs are treated the same as official repositories and update with APT.) As to the search, I don't think it ever shows description or filename(s). You can goto a description from a torrent site by right clicking on results. Filenames you have to click on the torrent and let it load the metadata before it shows those, but you can wait for that to populate before you select which files to download if you want.
I have not tried deluge either. Does it offer search? I tried transmission early on my linux days first then found qbittorrent, and because I really like a built-in search ability, and that the UI is similar to what I was used to from microtorrent and other p2p software I'd used under windows, decided to stick with it, and haven't looked back!

Deluge does not have a search feature. It's somewhat basic but it's always worked for me, so I never really ventured out to try others. |
