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)
Uhm, qBittorrent? Tried others but they simply have less features.
- Qbit or ru/rtorrent for me
- 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.
  
  There is an app exactly for that. Called qbittorrent remote or something, on FDroid
rtorrent > all
- Exactly
- I'm using Transmission, only 5 on the list. Must do better. :p
aria2 ftw
I've only used Deluge on Windicks but I have to say ktorrent was good while I used it on Arch with KDE.
- I love ktorrent
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.
No, Kazaa? 😓
rtorrent
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.
- I... Don't get the joke. Deluge is solid and on the list.
- Sok dude I get the joke you were making. You use Arch 👍
  (and deluge is amazing, been rock solid for me for about 13 years)
