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.

want to run a bittorrent client on a headless server. The server is a raspberry pi so it is limited a bit limited on resources.

Whats your favorite bittorrent client with a good command-line interface?

I use rtorrent and it's pretty straightforward.

Yeah, I especially like that there's many ways to add torrents - you can have a web interface, you can connect it to transdrone and you can add torrents by dropping .torrent files in a directory

+1 for rtorrent

Unless you really want command line, both Deluge and Transmission can run in headless mode with various GUI options. I'm using this pre-packaged Deluge docker image which has a web based UI. I also tried headless Transmission, which can be used with either a web UI or remote client, but I thought both clients were a bit lacking in features.

transmission works fine for me, currently sitting at 46MB resident memory on my server, with lots of torrents loaded. The web interface is OK.
