transgui VS pikatorrent

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.

Not sure who this is for? It looks like something made for casual users, but I'm not sure that they need a web UI for remote control or CLI.

More advanced users are very unlikely to use something with such UI. I can't imagine that it will be fun to use while having 10 torrents, let alone 250+.

Even Fragments[1], the GNOME Circle app for BitTorrent that targets casuals can fit more downloads in a single view.

And what's the point of the search bar? All it does is open a new tab and search "torrent " in either Google or DDG. I can do it myself. It's neither helping newbies nor advanced users.

Also the 1.7M package-lock.json[2] scares me, but so do most JavaScript projects. Do we really need that many JS libraries for a UI for a BitTorrent client?

In comparison, Transmission's web UI has a package.json that uses 354K[3].
