I should upgrade to a vpn that doesn't throttle dls

I have some custom scripts which kinda do what the *arr apps do.

I download torrent files into a folder. My script picks it up, identifies whether it is movie, TV, music, Games, ebooks, or something else. Based on this it selects the right folder. Then calls Transmission API and adds the torrent with the relevant path.

In case of movies and TV shows, it then calls the transmission APIs to rename the files properly. This way I can have my folders well organised and continue seeding without the need of creating duplicates.

This setup works quite well. The only fear I have is the transmission remote GUI for Windows hasn't been updated in 4 years. It works quite well, but it's only a matter of time before it stops working.

Should I consider another client?

How come tixati is banned, lol. I use qBittorrent.

I'm not in any private trackers so it doesn't really matter, but why is tixati banned? I use it because it's the only client that worked on the crusty old computer I use to run my torrents. Is it evil or something?

So, no one talks about Ktorrent? It just works perfectly for me. Kudos to the developers!

I’m still on utorrent2, can get it oldversion.com or something like that. It’s too well made, never found a reason to switch.
