Electorrent

Open-source desktop application designed to remotely manage torrent clients.

Description

Electorrent is an open-source desktop application designed to manage torrent clients remotely, providing a convenient alternative to the standard web interfaces of software such as qBittorrent, Transmission, rTorrent, Deluge, among others.

Main Features:

Remote Connection: Allows connecting to multiple torrent servers simultaneously, as long as they are compatible with the supported clients (like qBittorrent, Transmission, etc.).
Torrent Management: Supports adding torrents via .torrent files or magnet links, pausing, resuming, deleting or prioritizing downloads, as well as viewing progress and details such as speed, peers, and seeders.
User-Friendly Interface: Offers a modern and clean graphical interface, more accessible than many web interfaces of torrent clients, with theme support (light/dark).
Notifications: Sends alerts about the status of downloads, such as completion or errors.
Simple Setup: Easy to set up, requiring only the server connection details (address, port, username, and password, if necessary).
SSL Support: Allows secure connections with servers using HTTPS.

How It Works:

Electorrent acts as a "remote control" for the torrent client installed on a remote server or machine. The user configures server access (via IP or domain) in Electorrent, and the application communicates with the torrent client's API to manage downloads. This is useful for those who maintain a torrent server at home or in the cloud and wish to control it without directly accessing the web interface or command line.

Pros:

Centralization: Manage multiple servers of different torrent clients in a single application.
Portability: Does not require complex installation, with portable versions available.
Open Source: The code is available on GitHub, allowing community contributions and security verification.

Cons:

Depends on compatibility with the torrent client configured on the server.
Is not a standalone torrent client, meaning it does not download torrents directly; it only manages remote clients.
Some functionalities may vary depending on the torrent client used (for example, not all support all advanced options).
