I just run rtorrent with vopono/openvpn in a tmux sesession on a raspberry PI. It can be a bit of a pita getting utmp working though.

Did qbittorrent have memory leaks for anyone else? From time to time I'm forced to kill it because it's make my pc unusable. Still my torrent client of choose, but I would like to know if this is something someone else experienced.

rtorrent, you just need an ssh connection if wanting to know remotely what's going on

Deluge is another good client -- I'm not sure why but its defaults gave me much better download speeds than transmission or qbittorrent

- Readarr
- 4 Instances of QBit for each ‘Arr
- Jellyfin

Kind of a crude way of putting my setup but I think it gets the point across.

I would also look in to I2P. Their are a few clients that support it like qbittorrent.

Honestly, whatever floats your boat. There are many good options here, just try all and use the one you liked most. Or just go and pick one, or use the one that comes pre-installed in your distro.
Recommended ones:
- qbittorrent (my favourite as for many other in the comments)
- Transmission
- Deluge
- rtorrent (great if you run a headless server)

+1 for the WRT router, if you can get a decent device with an enough powerful CPU it can host Transmission

Generally most people get recommended to start their Linux journey with Mint as it is noob friendly (while still having full functionality) other options to consider would be popOS Ubuntu & Fedora.
qBittorrent is the most recommended I've seen, although I use transmission.

If you want a free VPN, you can try Riseup: https://riseup.net/en/vpn
There's qbittorrent for torrenting.

Why Debian 12 specifically?

Why do you use transmission? Genuinely curious. The times I tried to use it, it seemed so basic and lacking functionality

I use qbittorent through Mullvad using Gluetun as qbt is running in docker.
DHT and PEX don't seem to work though, I did brief research and it seemed related to mullvad no longer allowing port forwarding? I don't know enough about how it works but I tried messing with it for several hours a couple days ago to no avail, only trackers appear to work for connecting to other peers.
On a headless Ubuntu LXC running in proxmox, I just access the qbt interface via its Web portal.

Second VueTorrent. Makes for an absolutely blissful experience managing torrents and with qbittorrent's built in search plugins you early have to go to the sites anymore
