    Libretorrent is also a good open-source one that's worth trying. Source: over 1 year ago
  • I love how Nintendo is obsessed with stopping pirates, but Niantic gives zero fucks to the point of advertising on a torrent app
    Btw look at LibreTorrent as alternative to Flud, it is open source, have no ads, have almost the same interface and is not like 2 years without updates https://github.com/proninyaroslav/libretorrent. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • BiglyBT is a feature filled, open source, ad-free, BitTorrent client
    Personally I prefer LibreTorrent https://github.com/proninyaroslav/libretorrent. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

  • Transmission 4.0.0 beta 1 is out
    You could also check out rtorrent: http://rakshasa.github.io/rtorrent/, but I remember reading that development has stalled on that project. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Useful tip for Linux/BSD users (Torrent specific use case)
    Where it really starts to shine is when you combine it with other CLI & TUI applications. I use openSSH, rtorrent and Tmux (or GNU screen) in combination with PIA's manual script to achieve a remote "seedbox". I don't need to access my computers when I'm away from my local network but one has the potential by creating their own local VPN or opening up the port to their seedbox. Source: about 2 years ago
