torrent app

[andyjt]

Hi,

What's a recommended app for d/ling torrents?

I like Ktorrent but I need something that runs without me being logged into the box, most of the time it sits at the login and I remote in with NX...also I would like something that could pick up torrents from a folder and autostart them like KTorrrent can do.

Suggestions welcome!

Thanks.

Azureus seems to be very popular. I installed it the other day and opened it up to take a look, but I can't testify about its performance (yet). But I'm not sure how you plan to run an app on a system with no one logged it??

Re: torrent app


apache, samba, NX etc. all run when the machine is at the login so I'm pretty much after the same kind of setup for torrents. I do remember seeing a torrent app that was web-based, torrentflux, but i wondered if anyone else had come across a better one...

Re: torrent app

I've been trying deluge and transmission, I used azureus in m$ till utorrent came out. I tried azureus the other day and it doesn't offer me much bang for the buck (heavy on system resources). I might just install utorrent in wine. I guess I could give ktorrent a try again does it have encryption?
