Torrent search engines

PirateBay Sites

Working links, but annoying pop-up and big cpu eater (probably mining coins). Require retry multiple times to get the links/search results.

BitTorrent Clients on Linux

Transmission

Default client on Ubuntu and Debian.

Currently, as of version 3, there is a native port available on linux, consisting of a headless server and a web interface. To install (from [1]):

  • Unpack the archive in some user directory
  • Start the server (as regular user):
./utserver
  • To access the web interface, open your browser at page http://localhost:8080/gui. When prompted for authentication, enter admin as username, and leave the password field blank.
