Torrent client?

8mon 15d ago by lemmy.world/u/Regrettable_incident in piracy@lemm.ee

Yeah can anyone recommend me a good android torrent client? I'm kind of new to this and I'm looking for something with decent privacy and ideally free. Also should I be using a VPN? I used flud years ago but somehow don't like it now. Never bothered with VPN before but that was years ago and maybe I need one now? Any ideas appreciated.

Set the filter for Android and Open Source:

  • LibreTorrent
  • aria2
  • BiglyBT
  • PikaTorrent
  • FrostWire
  • Turbo Torrent

Yes, use a VPN. 

But…

A way better option is to use a seedbox or dedicated server for torrents, and an sftp client to get media to your phone or stream media from your box using Jellyfin.

Great, cheers! Yep I'm trying libretorrent, seems to be doing what I need, thanks.
