I switched from rtorrent to Transmission. It's the only one with a ready-to-use web server so I can add and monitor my torrents remotely.

I would never run a torrent program on my main computer. Not that there's (more) risks, it just feels wrong to me.

Does qbittorrent not have a ready-to-use web server? I don't recall setting mine up

I was about to say. qBittorrent has the best web UI out of all IMO.

Problem with that it's that it has Qt as dependency, therefore it's a bit of a hassle to run in a headless machine.

But it's still a very solid option.

I run mine in a docker container on a headless machine!

Yeah, that's great.

Good web UI and great client apps for multiple OS.

qbittorrent-nox mate. Its command line based. I run it as a service on a debian machine. WebUI as soon as you run it will all the features of qbittorrent. The default ui isnt great for mobile but you can replace it with VueTorrent which is so sleek.

That's a great suggestion! I'll try this one, thank you!
