current state of linux clients that can manage 20k+ torrents (~40tb)
I've been a habitual rtorrent user but it feels like it's time to move on - it's also a little annoying that this issue has never seen traction.

Tremc: Curses Interface for Transmission
I know it's not quite the same thing but I started using rtorrent[0] a very long time ago and it still works well for my needs.
Is there anyone who has used both who can comment on the pros and cons?

Torrenting Clients
Better in what exactly? Anyway, rtorrent seems abandoned. The last commit was 8 months ago. Transmission's last commit was 5 days ago. And regarding transmission-cli: "Prior to development of transmission-remote, the standalone client transmission-cli was created. Limited to a single torrent at a time, transmission-cli is deprecated and exists primarily to support older hardware dependent upon it. In almost all instances, transmission-remote should be used instead.".

Just learned that NZBget has been deprecated. Current ecommendation is to migrate to SABnzbd.

NZBGet is suddenly running at about 3-4MB/s max. The same group and download to the same download location, gets around 17-18MB/s on SABnzbd, the max of the internet connection?
The last issue added to the NZBGet bugtracker is actually someone who says they found a possible security issue. https://github.com/nzbget/nzbget/issues/833

NZBGet development officially abandoned
Looks like https://github.com/nzbget/nzbget.github.io/blob/b718a5a40404bee71cebcc00b3a67f70887050d2/donate.html still has the old link.

Github archived and no updates?
That was 5 months ago. The Github repo was archived on 11/18; therefore it is no longer being updated.

nzbget docker suddenly started hanging on unpack
Based on what I was able to find googling, the binhex nzbget docker had (or still has?) a bug where unpacking just halts. Reloading nzbget or restarting the docker fixes it... until the next time it happens.
- nzbget abandoned?
- Usenet downloader?
