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

I've had a poor experience with Deluge, a bug report completely disregarded years ago as I wasn't able to provide (very technical) details to the developers without some assistance, which they smugly refused to provide (I don't act entitled). I then stumbled upon a post where one of them discussed the reason why they wouldn't add workarounds in the installer as qBittorrent did (firewall exception and a couple of other things I can't recall right now), their reasoning and their wording struck me as strongly ideological, and it made me uneasy. I've had a similar experience with Affinity developers who (again, by way of ideology) refused to add an "interface scale" parameter to their programs, adamant on letting the OS handle the scaling, even though I couldn't change my OS scale because it messed up other programs. Their response was "it's the other program's fault". Very helpful. 👍🏼

Anyway, I was trying to say I don't like Deluge. To answer your question I know it runs via a variety of interfaces so I wouldn't be surprised it's your best bet. I personally use qBittorrent .

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

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?

[–] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nope! My deluge server is hosted in a docker network with gluetun, and I access it from both thin clients and the web interface.

[–] Nicarlo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mind me asking which docker image you are using? I was never able to get the thin client to work through docker

Deluge on desktop, Flud on mobile. 😃

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 3 points 2 days ago

Flud looks proprietary and has ads.

Libretorrent works just as well and is open source.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

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.
