Transmission has a web interface and can be ran as a daemon.

Transmission also has the client/server model, where the local UI can connect to a transmission running as daemon.

Thanks. TIL.

Last time I looked (many, many, years ago) I believe Transmission didn't have client-server support. It's good to know they now have that option.

it looks like people are misreading your comment. at least i did, at first. i thought you were piling on, addressing the maintainer, but on closer reading i realized that you were addressing the parent poster. for what it's worth, i think you are absolutely right.

Well cheers, makes me think you contribute to FOSS too :)

any opportunity i get. which is sadly not often enough these days.

I think they're ignoring it because in practice it is not much of an issue.

Some time ago, there was a Russian developer(s) who built a database that logged all IP addresses connecting to swarms. They then built a nice web frontend for it, to make it searchable. That’s how I found my IP address. If you think that’s not much of an issue, that’s okay but I definitely didn’t like it.

What is the problem with Transmission and what does Deluge (poor name) do better?

Back in my private torrent site days when I had to maintain a good ratio I would run deluge on a seedbox and auto download and seed new releases. From my experience deluge was the only client that could saturate a 1gbit/s connection when seeding hundreds of different torrents.

However this was a long-time ago so things have probably changed since then.

PS: I also think deluge is a great name..

Did you know that you can script the behavior of any torrent of any size of any tracker and many privacy features along with extensible plugins - PicoTorrent, BiglyBT and Tixati.

They are highly advanced clients even incorporating features of Tribler, https://torrentfreak.com/academic-torrent-client-hopes-to-sh...

So only those with a chunk of familiarity should use these, but as always these things entice HN crowd.

Deluge still hasn't had an official Windows release for 2.x, and it's been that way since 2019. Been using qBittorrent for a while now and like it far more than the (currently outdated) version of Deluge I had been using. Not really sure why this was posted here to be honest.

there are unofficial builds, I've been using them for quite a while with no issues

>(poor name) Why do you think that? Deluge is a synonym for torrent.

that's interesting. that word is so rarely used that i didn't make the connection. it's brilliant.

Even more brilliant that any Russian speaker can realize exactly same without a dictionary, it is just a rare form of делить word which means "to share".

that seems more like a coincidence. the original meaning of deluge/torrent has no relation to sharing if i understand it correctly. unless someones idea of sharing is burying you in stuff.

I currently run 1.3.x on my home server with the Windows client in "thin client" mode, but if the 2.x version doesn't come out soon for Windows I'll likely drop it in favor of qBittorrent when I'll rebuild my home server with a newer Ubuntu LTS version.
