I’m looking for a torrent software to run on my server/VM. I want something that is easy to setup, has a decent web UI, a base set of features like autoadd and… well, you know, actually works.

Been running Deluge for a while but turns out autoadd is broken. Spent too much time trying to fix it.

QBittorrent breaks when I try to add alternative web UI (VueTorrent). I mean, it’s still broken after restoring the config file. Also, it can’t seem to display error messages in the UI so you have to dig through logs.

Transmission has been unreliable and has performance issues in my experience.

Please, can you recommend something that is actually good?

        well, yes, we do… but we tend to work to fix things so it does what it needs to do… you are confusing your inability to fix things with “poor design of software”

        If you don’t want to self host your shit or get it fixed by somebody else, and trying to make that happen by acting like a entitled end-user, pay somebody to do it for you…

        but if that all is too hard, start with not being a jerk first.

          You sound like a FOSS-tard. Are you a FOSS-tard?

          Poor design and bugs make bad software. I’m limited in both time and patience, which is why I’m asking for software that ain’t shit. Simple as that. If not wanting to deal with poorly functioning software makes me entitled, then yeah…

            If a FOSS-tard means that I encourage the use off FOSS because I believe it’s a often the right way to go when it comes to privacy, freedom and all that jazz… then, yes, I am a FOSS-tard.

            I understand that you are attempting to be insulting. I will acknowledge that, if that makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.

            We all want everything to work perfect all the time. You are not alone or special in that. Decades experience says otherwise. And from that same period of experience I can promise you that the FOSS-tards like me are equally as gifted in delivering shitty software as any other corp that sells closed-corporate-patent-pending quick hacks for $2000 a pop. Oracle calls them drivers, I call them “curious, and inoperable”.

            Like I said, spend money on somebody that can do it for you so you don’t have to lose your patience, save some time so you can “experience” the rewards that you did not work or are interested in.

            If you manage to regain your composure, and get all the bits and pieces of software working together so it does what you want, you might understand why we do what we do. And because you don’t get that but choose to come her and and complain to others who do get it… I will call entitled.

            Because that’s what you are.

              Being a FOSS-tard comes with an inability to understand criticism of software because it’s free (if you don’t value your time).

              You obviously can’t handle a simple question of better alternatives than software that shits the bed, and judging by your response you’re deep in FOSS-tardedness.

              And, no, expecting software to work, have sane configurations and clear documentation is not being entitled. It means valuing your time.

              Presuming I don’t know how or care to configure things is laughable.

                I don’t believe you care to read, a reddit post, a response to your ramblings or a manual. You revert to insults, talking down to others and claiming it’s appropriate because you want something.

                Your expectations are not met, take it out on friends, not strangers. They might be more understanding.

        Lmao, can you even get less thankful? People developed that “shit software” in their free time and made it available for you to use it at zero cost

        It took me all of 20 minutes to get qBittorrent, Radarr, Sonarr, and Prowlarr working in docker. And then another 10 minutes to add in the VPN container.

        The important thing is that I left the GUI default because they work just fine, there is no need for different GUIs for any of it.

          Oh, so you know all about my wants and needs?

          Congratulations, you know how to use Docker. I prefer not to deal with nested containers and configure things myself.
