I haven't found anything better than using Transmission[0] as a daemon and Transmission Remote GUI[1] for the adding/removing/management. I can manage the downloads from any internet capable device from basically anywhere. Adding CouchPotato[2] and a branch of SickBeard[3] to the mix make it brilliantly easy to download just about anything, automatically, without searching for anything other than the specific title that I'm looking for.

+1 for Transmission. I'd also like to add that their OS X GUI[0] is _stellar_, far cry from any other BitTorrent clients I've used. Coupled with its low resource usage and the aforementioned web interface, I've found it hard to beat.

+1 again for Transmission. For Linux and *nix in general, it's the best IMO. Sadly there's no official release for Windows. For downloading automation, I use FlexGet (http://flexget.com/ http://flexget.com/).

Unfortunately, Transmission doesn't exist for the 91% of us that run Windows. That is a bit odd considering it's built with Qt. Edit: It seems there is an unofficial Windows port that has been described as both 'buggy' and 'quite stable'.

  It's released with GUIs in both GTK+ and QT btw

If you're in to XBMC and Raspberry Pi's, allow me to introduce you to a project I've been working on: http://www.xbmchub.com/forums/general-video-addon-discussion/13153-%5Balpha%5D-xbmctorrent-torrent-streaming-xbmc.html http://www.xbmchub.com/forums/general-video-addon-discussion... NB: New major release which fixes most of Raspberry Pi issues is scheduled for tonight.

  Thank you so much. I've been looking for this exact thing for years, but never had the time to make it myself.

Transmission is fantastic but it's web ui lacks the ability to read trackers from magnet links. That's my only real complaint about it.

  does it? It works for me: "Open Torrent", paste magnet link, click upload.

    At-least that's the case with transmission-daemon.

I used Transmission way back when it was only for Mac, around 2008-2008, but since then I've switched to Deluge as my main torrent client. I find its got the snappiest interface, and that it handles remote administration the best.

  I'm a huge fan of deluged running as a daemon- it's so good at getting out of my way. With a couple of plugins to give it rss support and email notifications, it's almost fully automatic.
