What it does
Deluge is a BitTorrent client built around a daemon, with graphical, web and console interfaces that can connect to its transfer engine.
Deluge separates the torrent daemon from its GTK, console and web interfaces. Run the daemon on the download computer and choose the interface used to manage it; the README’s local web route is port 8112. This layout suits a machine that keeps transferring while another computer provides the controls. The documented web default password is deluge, so configure authentication before enabling remote administration. Remote connectivity is a separate setup task, not a consequence of starting the local web interface. Deluge is GPL free software built around libtorrent, with optional interface dependencies.
Strengths
- Graphical, web and console interfaces
