Seeing the official website states that the client is "barely supported," I'm wondering, is it worth using a different one?

I can't complain, but I do have a weird issue when I close qbittorent it doesn't quite or stop... It freezes and shuts down unexpectedly :/ Very strange.

I only use it for public trackers tho, but after testing all the alternatives on Mac, qbittorrent is probably the best feature wise.

Same for me. I also have to reboot more often as the system seems to get buggy if I’ve been running it for a while.

I suggest fully uninstalling the app using tools like App Cleaner and then reinstalling it.

Thanks for the pointer, but this happens even on a fresh reinstall. I guess it's somehow related to my MacOS version I haven't updated for a while :/.

Anyway, I going for Asahi Linux in my next install so I don't want to tweak further into macOS. I'm getting tired to fight my system instead of working with it !
