What Torrenting program do you use?

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.

I've tried to set that docker up so many times and can never get it to work. Looks amazing, I'm jealous.

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.
