Transmisson BitTorrent Client
Easily the best aspect of Transmission is the fact that it can run as a daemon, accepting commands from anyone within network reach who has the right credentials. I use it as part of the books [1] tool (a CLI/TUI/GUI Library Genesis interface) through a helper script [2] to enable torrent download of individual publications from libgen torrents. This helper script provides commands like tm-ls (list active torrents), tm-add (add a torrent to the daemon) and tm-add-selective (get a single file or set of files from a torrent) provide a convenient interface for those who live on the command line and/or want to use Transmission from within other tools.

Library Genesis Desktop app, now with IPFS support
The ´Books' tool [1] has been doing the same for a long time as well, can be used anywhere where Bash runs and - given its shell-based nature - is eminently hackable. It comes with a CLI (named 'books'), TUI ('nbook' and 'nfiction') and GUI ('xbook' and 'xfiction') and supports both IPFS, Bittorrent as well as direct download. It can search on all fields.

Alexandria Search is a open source ad free nonprofit web search engine
Some people report not getting results (e.g. for the word "dog"), i do get results, the about page mentions it's in early development, if anybody want to open a bug you can do it here , unless a bug already exist then i think doing a "thumbs up" is enough. (It didn't at the time i wrote this comment),
