        If with webtorrent you mean pasting a link and it downloads directly then the qt gui version has that i think (idk about the gtk or cli versions)

          No, I mean seeding for users on the web by using the WebRTC protocol. I want to seed to as many platforms as I can

    Uhm, qBittorrent? Tried others but they simply have less features.

      Only downside to Qb (which i still use despite this) is that the web interface is completely inaccessible from a mobile phone. Makes remotely managing torrents when I don’t have my laptop handy a real pain.

        There is an app exactly for that. Called qbittorrent remote or something, on FDroid

    I’ve only used Deluge on Windicks but I have to say ktorrent was good while I used it on Arch with KDE.

    I use deluge mainly because it can easily be run as a daemon inside of a docker container, so I can just let my torrents run unattended on my homeserver, and always protected by a VPN with killswitch.

    On my desktop I use the GUI client to connect to the daemon and manage my torrents as if it were local.

      You can do the same with qBittorrent, by the way.

        Yeah, I evaluated both when I chose this solution several years ago. Don’t ask me why I chose one over the other though, I don’t remember.

    Wait frostwire still exists? I remember using it to download mp3’s back when I still used Windows XP. These days I use transmission for torrents. But only rarely to download a linux ISO.

          I think it’s the “…Yes sorry, I will show myself out.” that makes it sound like you were trying to make a joke

          …What?

          “I’ll see (will show) myself out” is a pretty common thing to say after a joke. If it isn’t a joke, I just don’t understand the first line of your comment.

          There’s nothing “wrong” with me, I’m not being in any way “pissy”, and I don’t have an issue. I just didn’t know what you were trying to convey.

            The lack of emoticons in your comment clearly shows that you’re in fact furious.

      Sok dude I get the joke you were making. You use Arch 👍

          Sorry didn’t mean any offence that’s a gender-neutral term in my mind

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
