I'm spinning up a new seedbox and wanted to know what is everyone using nowadays? I was using deluge via the thick client and rutorrent previously. Are they still king? edit: I should have also mentioned that I plan on running this server headless so I will need to be able to access it via a thin client or a web browser

I don't use that client either - But to be fair the dev (Kevin Hearn) has a long history with P2P software e.g. depending how old you are you may have used his WinMX software back in the day. He isn't known for sticking spyware/malware into his software so I sort of trust the software he puts out in that sense. He also maintains other non-torrent P2P file sharing software outside of Tixati.

Of course it would be better if it was open source but he's never been an open source coder AFAIK.
