qbittorrent all the way :)

I love the built in http server for remote control. It’s literally a clone of the desktop window with all the same controls/options.

Is there an equivalent to “thin client” mode of Deluge, where you can connect the desktop version to a server and control it as if it was a local install, but the server does all the legwork?

It really makes the whole thing seamless.

That would require installing client software though, no?

Qbit is just a web app accessible from anything with a browser. (I keep mine behind a vpn for auth, but it’s got http form based password auth aswell.)

It does, but it feels more integrated. Clicking a magnet link or opening a torrent file is handled natively by the OS and pass it over to the native app, which talks to the Deluge server if used in thin client mode. It’s really neat.

I dunno maybe it’s just gimmicky but it feels so nice to have a desktop app over and webui that still uses the server. I use Deluge for only that reason

Except the ability to create torrents.

That’s one of the only things you can’t do via the web app, but there is a ‘torrent creator’ under the ‘tools’ menu. I haven’t used it though so I can’t really say how good it is.
