For CLI fans, aria2c supports BitTorrent protocol.
- paulfurtado 5y agoTransmission also does have transmission-cli
- caslon 5y agoI think the point of the good ducktective's comment was to offer an alternative to people who don't like waiting hours for C++ to compile.
- lucb1e 5y agoapt install transmission-cli
- stjohnswarts 5y agoSorry it doesn't take hours for transmission or qbittorrent or their cli versions to compile. It takes minutes even on old hardware.
- zamadatix 5y agoI'm aware I'm taking the bait here but I think it's worth noting Aria2 is C++ as well. Not because of the compile time comment but because most expect such tools to be C and it's interesting to note in its own right.

- stjohnswarts 5y agoqbittorrent-nox also exists if you like qbittorrent
- pessimizer 5y agoI use qbittorrent-nox and make torrents with transmission-create i.e I put peanut butter in your chocolate.
- Twirrim 5y agoI've been using aria2c for some multithreaded HTTP downloading stuff recently. I surprisingly found it to get bottlenecked on a single core. For torrents, I tend to just use rtorrent, which has worked perfectly for me for probably 15 years now. https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent. Nice, fast, doesn't seem to use many resources to get the job done.
