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 keep recommending Tribler and I don’t know why it’s not more popular. Anything wrong with it?

      I’ve got Transmission on my NAS and use Transmission-remote(Linux and android) for the client. Simple, easy to setup and it just works.

        Closed source, and their prominent “contains NO Spyware” disclaimer doesn’t quite instill confidence. I have also never even heard about it until now.

          I’ve had email communication with the devs and again, I’m a biased donor. They are just starting afloat on donations. Respect your closed source concerns completely, but it’s a superior piece of software imo and I see no signs of malificence. If you are an open source purist I get it, there are other options. If you are using any closed source software at all though, it would seem to me hypocritical to show a bias against this particular app.

          I don’t use that client either - But to be fair the dev (Kevin Hearn) has a long history with P2P software e.g. depending how old you are you may have used his WinMX software back in the day. He isn’t known for sticking spyware/malware into his software so I sort of trust the software he puts out in that sense. He also maintains other non-torrent P2P file sharing software outside of Tixati.

          Of course it would be better if it was open source but he’s never been an open source coder AFAIK.

    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.
