Astonished by the volume of issues and PRs for this project, they've really felt "complete" for the years I've been using it.

Try a really big torrent (several hundred GB - note that it's common to only download some files from such a torrent). It doesn't work in Transmission. At that point, I switched to qBittorrent, which has some nice extra features, too.

Why not just use qbittorrent? Has RSS, has search in the client, has paths based off categories...

As someone that only very recently switched to qBittorrent from Transmission after using it for few years - the lack of non-Web UI remote clients.

You can probably just use VueTorrent or qBitController android app for headless mode.

VueTorrent is a web client.

I currently use the official Web UI in an isolated Chromium instance and made an automatic log in page so that I don't have to type in the password every single time I open it.

I add torrents to the qBittorrent instance using a Firefox addon. It's all a bit jank.

I started some work to make my own qBittorrent client for desktop; I don't care about mobile that much.
