About ruTorrent
ruTorrent gives rTorrent, a command-line BitTorrent client, a browser interface for adding, watching and managing torrents remotely. It is written in PHP and JavaScript and runs on your own web server, with example configurations for nginx and Apache-style .htaccess setups.
Much of its functionality comes from a large plugin collection bundled in the repository. It is a common choice on home servers and seedboxes where rTorrent runs headless.
