I just deleted my entire library and redownloaded it.

A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they’re all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me…

You really shouldn’t use uTorrent. There are a number of safer and better open source alternatives out there.

Qbittorrent is my favorite client but there are a couple of great alternatives like Transmission or Deluge.

Can confirm Transmission and Deluge are both solid

since you seem familiar with those clients, do you know if either or both of those have a network interface bind feature like qbittorrent? (if not familar, qbit lets you pick which interface your vpn uses and only torrent on that one - which is damn handy if your vpn drops)

i used to use deluge back in the day (years ago) but ended up switching to qbit after i got a dcma when my vpn dropped. i’ve since improved my setup and safeguards a lot but was wondering if it ever got a similar feature.

They don’t. I use Deluge inside a Docker container and route that container’s networking through another container running Gluetun. This way all traffic flowing to and from the Deluge container necessarily goes through my VPN, not counting the couple of ports exposed outside the container so that the web UI works.

So, not a Deluge feature, but I enjoy how much control the more modular setup gets me.

Interesting. I’m still on a VM setup and still need to migrate everything over to using docker (or podman). I had made an attempt a year or so back but wanted to run all my containers without root and whatever one I was using as a template at the time had been expecting the opposite. Then life caught up with me and I ran out of time on that project

But good to know about Gluetun. Maybe I’ll revisit the migration to containers at some point if I get the free time.
