Used this possibly 20 years ago! Time flies like a banana.

Rtorrent is pretty fine. But for as long as I used it, the UI would hang on me for sometimes multiple seconds.

I really appreciate modern heavily async software like the Yazi file manager. Maintaining user responsiveness feels so nice. https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi

I’ve been using rtorrent for like 15 years and still do. I miss the colored patch I used to have. I seemed to have lost it.
frizlab•2mo ago
I use that with a rutorrent[1] front-end since 13 years, works great! I even have multiple instances on a server for multiple users. We have a lot of Linux distro to download, the bunch of us.

Was it rtorrent-ps?

This wasn't it, but it looks nice. I will have to give this a try :)
notepad0x90•2mo ago
I just use aria2c these days, for CLI it works more intuitively for me, but rtorrent is great as well. aria2c feels more like running curl or wget, much more intuitive for scripting with it. I'm just glad there are many choices.
shellwizard•2mo ago
Yep, same, I prefer aria2c for one go torrent/magnet links although it lacks a proper TUI for handling more than one torrent, transmission daemon and transmission-remote was better in that regard
johng•2mo ago
transmission-cli is great. aria2c is great. There's even tget that works good: https://github.com/jeffjose/tget

As far as WebUI goes I do prefer qbittorrent.

For people really serious about torrents on the CLI/TUI, this is the best one I've seen: rTorrent-ps: https://github.com/pyroscope/rtorrent-ps

woleium•2mo ago
rutorrent web fronted for rtorrent is still a thing too! https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent
globular-toast•2mo ago
This is a blast from the past. I ran this along with irssi in a screen session for years. It was known to be one of the fastest clients on a fat pipe like 100mbps, which seemed outlandishly fast back then. Nowadays I have 1Gbps up/down to my house...
ciupicri•2mo ago
For some reason it seems to read something like 3x or even more from the disk than it uploads. Like Linux reported 1 TB read in ~3 days and I definitely didn't upload that much.
