I'm spinning up a new seedbox and wanted to know what is everyone using nowadays? I was using deluge via the thick client and rutorrent previously. Are they still king? edit: I should have also mentioned that I plan on running this server headless so I will need to be able to access it via a thin client or a web browser

rTorrent with Flood front end.

My only complaint so far is being unable to reach the rTorrent TUI when it's running headless. It otherwise works great.

Still qbittorrent. Docker container with web UI makes it trivial.

I used transmission for years, but the larger my library got the more issues I had. Currently using Qbit and loving the categories for easier management, especially with the *arr suite.

I hear people use the search function of QBitTorrent tied to VPN tunnel. Basic, but it works

Not sure why it's not more popular. I use and donate. I've had better performance with this than qbittorrent.

qBittorrent. With a quick UI switch to vuetorrent for the tablet. LXC bound to a bridge thats VPN connected.

transmission

I'm a much bigger fan of the deluge thin client, personally.

This is what I used in the past but I had issues with the Deluge thin client when using a Deluge docker image. Did you experience the same thing as well?

Deluge on desktop, Flud on mobile. 😃

Flud looks proprietary and has ads.

Libretorrent works just as well and is open source.

qBittorrent and rtorrent are very popular.
