What's the hot torrent client these days
Qbittorrent recommended by most users it feels like. Check arrs mate (sonarr, radarr) if you havent. Thats hot, not torrent client 😉
Rtorrent
I haven't heard of this one, do you know the advantages vs other clients off the top of your head? I used to use u, then q, but haven't fired up a client in quite some time, so was trying to figure out some good ones for when I need to hoist the flag
It runs in the commandline with minimal resources. If you bother to make the configuration file you can have it watch a folder for new torrent files like your download directory and then move completed downloads wherever you configure. So on one server I will have it download the file on a SSD and the move the finished download to a spinny drive. You can also have like ~30k torrents before the client starts to bottleneck but you can run concerent instances.
It also has a web client but I've never used it.
qbittorrent
for seedboxes qbit or ru/rtorrent
Q is what I had used, mostly because it was lightweight and portable. I don't torrent like I used to 20 years ago, but it's good to know what to use if I decide need to.
It's neat.
I exclusively torrent via my seedbox so I am kinda bound to rutorrent but I have no issue with my service (so far)
