Qbittorrent has a killswitch for safety so it can stall all the downloads if you lose connection to your vpn. That's the killer feature for me.
Yep, you can alternatively just bind it to wg0 or whatever your VPN network adapter is.
Yep this is the answer your looking for op
BASED
I just wish there was a thin client.
If you are a Linux User, Transmission.
Also, if you are a Windows or Mac user.
Also if you have a seedbox and want a thin client on your local machine
qBittorrent definitely. Free and open source, no adult/betting ads that you have to pay for an ad free version if you don't want to see them, not installing adware either.
I find Deluge to be a nice, cross platform client. The Windows version was finally bumped to 2.X. The client has integrated VPN functionality but I'm not sure if that's really a big deal for today's landscape
I like Deluge. It is what uTorrent used to be.
I just need a cli-friendly equivaltnt for RSS support for my seedbox.
Deluge has a JSONRPC API that you can just call from curl or there is a CLI client deluge-console
qbittorrent has it's own internal search with plugins, and also can connect with jackett. this way you can search torrents from inside qbittorrent directly.
Go for Transmission and forget about anything else. Open source, loaded with features, super light on ressources.
gonna add to the pile and say qBittorrent. feature-filled and FOSS, absolute perfection.
I recommend Deluge, but I don’t know why
Everyone's said qBittorrent, and I agree. I found myself using an old build of uTorrent for a very long time (2.2.1, I believe). I finally realized it was probably a risk being so far behind. qBittorrent feels like old uTorrent, before it got extra bloated and scummier. It also adds a lot of features. Truly, qBittorrent is the answer you're looking for coming from uTorrent.
