Electorrent FOR LINUX

Controlling your torrent apps remotely is not a new concept, especially because most modern torrent downloaders have pretty decent web interfaces. Even though most web GUIs of torrent clients are quite decent, they still force you to use a browser in order to get the job done. This might not seem like a problem until you have to upload scores of files through said web interfaces (or copy/paste large numbers of magnet links).

Key Features:

• Remote GUI for popular torrent apps


• Connects to various BitTorrent clients


• Supports drag-and-drop for torrent files


• Native desktop notifications


• Customizable settings for configuration

Technical Specifications:

• Price: FREE


• Publisher: tympanix


• File Type: .AppImage


• Built with: Electron, AngularJS, SemanticUI


• Version: 2.8.3

Electorrent is a new-age desktop remote GUI for some of the most popular torrent apps that allows you to remotely control your NAS, VPS, seedbox, etc. Before anything else, it's worth noting that Electorrent is free and open-source. It's also built with web technologies such as Electron, AngularJS, and SemanticUI.

For those of you who have reservations about Electorrent's performance, the app is remarkably snappy, the resource consumption is pretty similar to that of a torrent client, and the GUI is modern and stylish (with nice transition effects between menus).

Additional Features:

• Paste magnet links directly from clipboard


• Fuzzy search function


• Quick toggle between server configurations

Another crucial set of information is the fact that Electorrent can connect to various popular BitTorrent clients such as µTorrent, qBittorrent, Transmission, rTorrent, Deluge, and Synology Download Station. Electorrent is a well-thought-out and stylish desktop remote torrenting application that provides a far better experience when dealing with torrent clients remotely than the basic web GUIs most of them employ.
