Since we're on this topic, what's your torrent client of choice HN? I plainly use BitTorrent nowadays
Been a fan of Transmission on macOS for many years. I just wish I could install Transmission on a Linux box and still keep using the fantastic Cocoa interface it has on macOS.
You mean https://github.com/transmission-remote-gui/transgui or another gui? You should be able to connect remotely, that is pretty much the entire idea behind transmission. A torrent daemon with various UIs that use the API.
