You cant use ctrl / shift for multiple file selection when adding a torrent in KTorrent, which is why i switched to Deluge... And got better speeds :D (Dont know if it is possible with KDE)

Another option could have been: protocol encryption. It may be useful for some people

I second the vote for rTorrent. Definitely the most full featured client. Terminal only though (but it's still easy to use).

For a more GUI type interface, I suggest BTG. Very pretty. Also has an Ncurses client.

You forgot the terminal program 'rtorrent', which in my opion is much slower than utorrent but can be attached/detached via screen.

I dont belive uTorrent under wine is faster than Ktorrent.
