WebUI-aria2 VS flood

if you're just looking for a simple download manager though, I recommend aria2. it's command line based, but it has resumable downloads and download acceleration. you can get a webUI for it too

How about https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2 ?

+1 for aria2! It does one job and does it very well.

Want to add a UI? Take a look at WebUI-Aria2: https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2

It is also very easy to integrate with othersoftware via the RPC interface https://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html?highlight.... You can find wrappers in some languages e.g. the JS bindings: https://github.com/sonnyp/aria2.js

I haven't tried aria2 apps, but I do have aria2 webui and it works really nice.

Why bake libtransmission into the app instead of just using the transmission daemon's RPC?

What you've done actually makes it harder to use, because in order to configure any of transmission's settings (ports, connection/torrent connection limits, bandwith limits, etc) the user needs to dig around to find the transmission config folder and then manually edit JSON with a text editor - because your client doesn't expose any of transmissions numerous settings [1] to the user except for choosing the download folder.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to use this instead of Flood [2] or even old Transmission Web Control [3]

Only one that I'm aware of is Flood: https://github.com/jesec/flood

If you haven't seen the https://flood.js.org project before. It has subjectively a nicer ui and works with qbittorent.

You can install alternate web UIs very easy. I’m a big fan of Flood, which is mobile friendly: https://flood.js.org/

One note: I lean heavily on an API to manage it so I'd love to continue using flood, I tested qbittorrent with it briefly and it didn't go well.

You mean a torrent client? I’m using rTorrent with Flood (the new jesec fork that’s actually active) and it works brilliantly on mobile

https://flood.js.org/ ?

If it's just the web ui you're worried about perhaps look into installing Flood & see if it helps? It's going to be a better web ui overall. (I've never needed to use it personally but it's been recommended in the pat)

qbitorrent-nox with flood-ui

Impressive. But I dont get why they would rebuild the web client when there are existing options like: https://github.com/jesec/flood
