Probably many trackers have a list of approved torrent-clients, as well as prohibited (clients in general, or some specific versions). Under linux there are a lot of different torrent-clients, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but they still appear extremely rarely in the lists of allowed ones.
For myself, I first chose Deluge, which eats the memory quite modestly and works normally, at least I have enough of its functions ... i.e. I had enough - for some reason, in version 1.1.0, I cannot download only individual files from the distribution (maybe not only me), although there are checkboxes in front of the files, and he also does not know how to rename the downloaded files. The functionality of Deluge was enough for me until 1080.mkv file was downloaded, now I remember what is in it, but for how long :) In general, if I am going to distribute files for some time, then I have to put up with their names, but they are very different .

A few months ago,
KonishchevDmitry wrote about his
Flush torrent client, which (judging by the reviews) works well and is
able to rename downloaded files . I put myself this Flush - it's not greedy to memory, it shakes normally (so far I have checked only on a couple of hands), and everything seems to be present in it. But on one closed tracker with good quality (in my opinion) HD video content there is a list of allowed torrent-clients and programs that are not included in this list cannot download anything. Flush is quite young, so on the tracker it is, in fact, forbidden, so I had to look at the sources and have him identify himself as a program from the allowed list. This is a
patch .

patch (for version 0.7.2)
If suddenly someone also liked this torrent-client, but it is impossible to use it on some trackers, then download the
source code , unpack it, put the patch in the folder and use it (
$ patch -p0 <flush.patch ),
then build and install. I didn’t have any problems with the build - I just installed a couple of devel-packages and configured it with the parameter - with
-boost-libdir = / usr / lib64 / - I have a 64-bit OS, and without this parameter I got out an error.
Besides that the client earned with the tracker I needed, I also updated the version :) The repository had 0.6 of some kind, and now I have 0.7.2
With this patch, flush is disguised as Deluge 1.1.0, but if you wish, you can specify the version and the name of the torrent client you need.
By the way, what flush looks like
