rtorrent VS transgui

No 1

rtorrent and rutorrent might suit your needs. For easy setup on Debian you could use this

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.

Unfortunately rtorrent is pretty much dead: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/commits/master

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?

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.".

For example, down that page there's a Transmission remote GUI screenshot (I use it as Transmission here is a daemon on my headless XigmaNAS server).

What would be wrong with it or anything similar? Every information is just there, no need to swipe left and right to read information that has been either hidden elsewhere or, worse, taken away.

Actually, not such a bad question. There's at least Synapse[1]. It even has a third-part broker to accept transmission GUIs by Drew Dewalt[2]. Why didn't they just reuse Transmission protocol from the get-go, to leverage the great Transmission-Remote-GUI[3] for example, is beyond me.

Unfortunately, there's just not enough interest in the project and no adoptance.

Transmission, at least previously, never have been too resource-friendly, so a lean and mean Rust alternative would be great.

For something a bit easier I'd look into Transmission or Deluge. The big difference is qbittorrent ran headless only has a web interface, whereas deluge and transmission both have remote dekstop clients as well mobile-friendly web interfaces and apps available

If someone asks me to install a Torrent client on a single machine, my favorite would be QBittorrent, however at home I use XigmaNAS' Transmission client extensively, and operate it from other machines in the LAN using the Transgui interface (also available on Windows and MacOS). This allows me to turn off everything but the NAS, which with all RAID disks spun down and a TDP of 15 Watts makes for some good energy savings.

Transmission Remote GUI

This explains why the only other Lazarus project I know (transgui) is very similar, a GUI to another program.
