Deluge
A lightweight, modular BitTorrent client with a daemon/client architecture and multiple user interfaces.
What is Deluge?
Deluge is a BitTorrent client that uses a daemon/client architecture, separating the torrent handling backend from the user interface. It supports multiple frontends including GTK, web, and console interfaces, all built on the libtorrent library for reliable protocol handling. This design allows users to run the daemon on a server and connect remotely via lightweight clients.
Users who need a flexible, modular BitTorrent client for desktop or server environments, especially those who want to separate the torrent backend from the frontend interface for remote access.
Deluge offers a unique daemon/client model that enables remote management and multiple interface options, combined with the reliability of the libtorrent engine. Its modular design provides flexibility that standalone clients lack.
