Over the past years I've been switching between different torrent
clients (azureus, deluge, bittorrent, linkage, transmisson) and
transmission seems to work best. Deluge is a bit fat, I'd say. For
default desktop, transmission can IMHO offer the best user experience
while still keeping relatively minimalistic, responsive and easy to use
UI.

Deluge also sometimes verifies local data and it's very slow as well, I
don't recall whether it blocks other torrents though...
