About Electorrent

Electorrent is a desktop app for managing torrent clients that run somewhere else, such as a home server, NAS or seedbox. Instead of opening each client's web interface, you connect Electorrent to it and manage torrents from one window.

It supports µTorrent, qBittorrent, rTorrent, Transmission, Synology and Deluge. The app is built with Electron and is under active development. It suits people who keep their torrent client on another machine and want a desktop front end for it.

Strengths

  • One interface for many different torrent clients
  • Supports Synology download stations as well as common clients
  • Actively developed

Limitations

  • Does not download torrents itself; needs a running client to connect to
  • Electron app with a larger footprint than native tools
