And why? deluge has explicit separation between server and clients, so whether one uses the web, remote-GUI or cli simply becomes a matter of choice. Most of the time I use the remote GUI from my Windows laptop to control the server on my Linux box, but occasionally I also use the server-local cli directly. It's not super-feature-rich, but has shell-like completion and does what one would expect. Very happy. This model is different (and IMHO much better) from many other cli torrent clients which require you to keep the shell open, or use screen. -h

It's fast, easily configured, and has lots of room to customize it to work the way you want. -- t: https://www.twitter.com/mikankun b: http://mikankun.wordpress.com signature.asc Description: Digital signature
