    You can connect to a remote Deluge daemon from a native client, which works great for a seedbox. There is a transmission-remote-gui project, but it’s not as great.

    Advertising. A lot of advertising. Clogged with unnecessary information interface. no longer a small installation size. And a constant reminder to purchase the paid version.
