I haven't kept up with which ones turned to fuckery and which ones did not.

Deluge because of plugins and headless server/client GUI feature

Can you expand on what these are/do?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

you can run it on a server and then remotely connect to it using a webUI in-browser and torrent stuff onto the server.

If you have Android there's also a thin client you can use to connect. Decent UI and it supports magnet links

qBittorrent has that to, but deluge lets you use the desktop client to connect to the server as well.

Tbh I rarely use the plugins anymore, I just like that I have the option... no longer using RSS feeds but when I was, I had a Deluge plugin set up to auto-dl and organize files based on regex. Maybe this is an option in other mature clients these days, I dunno.

I've got a docker host and a Deluge container. I think it's pretty rad to be able to feed the server daemon a torrent from anywhere on my home net and have it get to work downloading and seeding. Was a bit of work but it's been set-and-forget since.
