libtorrent VS docker-transmission-openvpn

I had a longer answer, but qBittorrent is great and has a great webui/server model if you're running a separate linux box to run it in. If you're on windows, grab 4.3.9 or 4.6.2 with libtorrent 1.x. RSS stuff is nice too. Libtorrent 2.x has issues on Windows currently (read these threads if you want to know more - https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/pull/7013 - https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/6667#issuecomment-1804035311 ). Please don't bug Arvid about it though. Libtorrent 2.x gets us Bittorrent v2, which is a good thing.

Where users could finally download files that were present in other swarms. This would decentralize network more, swarms with valuable files wouldn't die fast, even when updating a torrent, where info hash differs, say tv series, adding new episode, all the previous seeds of swarm could contribute bandwidth and resistance to new swarms, there were nice proposals at libtorrent project (library which many clients we know use), as f.e. not announcing that a peer has files to not overwhelm network, but announcing that he wants them.

How much of it do you want to do yourself vs how much do you want to use pre-made libraries for? Many popular clients rely on libtorrent which is a C++ torrent library: https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent

FWIW, it seems like there'll be an update to libtorrent very soon that'll address the memory issue.

Here is a link to an issue I found on the libtorrent repo discussing the issue.

Many!

I think you’re in a different bubble. If no one used vpn for torrents why is one of the top docker images for transmission one to support vpns? No ones spending money on a seed box that’s just casually torrenting.

For torrent and open VPN this https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn is a great option if you can run docker.

I use haugene/transmission-openvpn to safely obtain all my Linux isos

I would try the absolute path of the script and see if that does it for you. I'm running transmission on docker using haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn and that's the absolute path within the container, but YMMV if you're running the program somewhere/somehow else.

I haven’t used GlueTUN so can’t help unfortunately but I do use this one - https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn and it seems easier and safer (the container stops if the VPN is down)
