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

For Android, there's Flud, LibreTorrent, etc. If on iOS/iPhone/iPad, there's no app because Apple doesn't allow it (lol..), but you can use a "web client" like https://instant.io/ which behaves like the program/app. You'll need to keep the window open while it downloads and in this website's case, it doesn't accept...
