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.
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.
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

It also has a web client but I’ve never used it.
qbittorrent
for seedboxes qbit or ru/rtorrent

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)
