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.

  deluge is probably the best for native gui. It doesnt have the amount of integrations as qb and it struggles with many thousands of torrents (or at least it did 10yrs ago), but otherwise a great client. Otherwise there’s qui for qb which, while still a webui, is great.

  I'd recommend checking out qui - still web-based but extremely well made.

I run transmission on a headless box and only open the remote GUI for it once in a while. Can other bittorrent clients do that out of the box?

  Yes, probably most of them

      qbittorrent has one, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/QBittorrent https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/QBittorrent (search “web interface”)

      Deluge, QBittorrent, rTorrent, uTorrent have web UIs. Deluge also has a remote mode in the desktop app.

        Well when you say "web UIs" i think of another tab that will expand to 4+ G ram if left open long term...

libtorrent-rasterbar has (had?) a lot of problems stemming from its complex C++ codebase and Boost dependency. The painful and protracted v1 -> v2 migration was the main visible consequence. No proper client/daemon (thus core/GUI, code is Qt-ware) separation with a clean transmission-like RPC.
