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

    Qbittorrent via a container and web UI on my NAS, lets me use it as a backend for *arrs as well as anything else, just have tag based directories for it so Software goes into one folder and TV movies etc in their respective folders.

    I personally like the setup a lot since I can always be a seeder even well after my ratio is hit.

    slskd hooked up to this as well to share everything music wise, gives me a nice way to reconcile stuff Lidarr can’t find and shares it all back for anyone to browse so hopefully helps someone downloadv something they’re searching for a FLAC of

    nzb360 on Android for management as needed, it hooks into Qbittorrent easily and gives me a nice place to do some quicker tasks for my overall infra

    Good ol’ rtorrent never dissapoints. For when I want something with a webui, I have a qflood container that I extracted from its old *arr setup to more generalistic usage.

    Random semi-related thought. I’m going through the comparison of BitTorrent clients page on Wikipedia and it’s amazing how many clients end up as Adware.

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

      I appreciate the ability for the tor-like layered routing with tribler. Getting the headless UI set up is annoying, though.

      +1 for qBittorrent. I used to be a Deluge fan, but qBittorrent seems more performant and feature-packed.
