Transmission-cli 🔛🔝

If only it also offered i2p and webtorrent support

If with webtorrent you mean pasting a link and it downloads directly then the qt gui version has that i think (idk about the gtk or cli versions)

No, I mean seeding for users on the web by using the WebRTC protocol. I want to seed to as many platforms as I can

Uhm, qBittorrent? Tried others but they simply have less features.

Only downside to Qb (which i still use despite this) is that the web interface is completely inaccessible from a mobile phone. Makes remotely managing torrents when I don't have my laptop handy a real pain.

I've only used Deluge on Windicks but I have to say ktorrent was good while I used it on Arch with KDE.

I use deluge mainly because it can easily be run as a daemon inside of a docker container, so I can just let my torrents run unattended on my homeserver, and always protected by a VPN with killswitch.

On my desktop I use the GUI client to connect to the daemon and manage my torrents as if it were local.

You can do the same with qBittorrent, by the way.

Yeah, I evaluated both when I chose this solution several years ago. Don't ask me why I chose one over the other though, I don't remember.

Wait frostwire still exists? I remember using it to download mp3's back when I still used Windows XP. These days I use transmission for torrents. But only rarely to download a linux ISO.
