From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If only it also offered i2p and webtorrent support

If with webtorrent you mean pasting a link and it downloads directly then the qt gui version has that i think (idk about the gtk or cli versions)

I've only used Deluge on Windicks but I have to say ktorrent was good while I used it on Arch with KDE.

[–] NathanUp@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I love ktorrent

Uhm, qBittorrent? Tried others but they simply have less features.

I use deluge mainly because it can easily be run as a daemon inside of a docker container, so I can just let my torrents run unattended on my homeserver, and always protected by a VPN with killswitch.

On my desktop I use the GUI client to connect to the daemon and manage my torrents as if it were local.

You can do the same with qBittorrent, by the way.

Yeah, I evaluated both when I chose this solution several years ago. Don't ask me why I chose one over the other though, I don't remember.
