Hi, ive been pirating stuff for a bit and I currently use Picotorrent, but I wanted to know what everyone else uses to see if there is a better option.

    I use rtorrent + Flood. Nice setup if you’re using a seedbox or otherwise running your torrents on a server.

        Well if you’re willing to give it another shot, this is the docker-compose I use with it. I also have ruTorrent running because that’s what I was using before I heard about flood and just never bothered to strip it from the setup.

        I think the only other thing to mention is you’ll need to register for a maxmind API key and drop that into the environment variable field.
