You lovely people have given me a lot of great FOSS apps and I thank you for your suggestions

Although this feature is available in new Transmission 4, I am using Transmission 3 and I can use flatpak to download the latest and the greatest, but yeah, I choose to just go for other apps for now. If you are looking to make transmission work, this comment is for you, again to repeat, flatpak transmission is the best transmission if you want to stick to it.

  1. Deluge you are as beautiful as I first found you 😇 comment [Installing this next time I distrohop]
  2. qb which also has this functionality.
  3. steamio
  4. btfs
  5. webtorrent installing now
  6. kodi + elementum I don’t like KODI :( So, I don’t think so

edit: I am using Debian Stable, so though I have Transmission the transmission I have is the older one released in 2020. So, unfortunately, I can’t use the latest greatest thing (unless I use flatpaks), I have however chosen to use qb and I like it as well! Thank you all

Two uses I think I would have from this app

  1. I can see the quality of the file as I am downloading it and I can remove it if I don’t like it.
  2. I can obviously watch the movie or show I want to watch without waiting for it to be downloaded.

I am using Transmission now and I love it, but yeah, this would be a good addition.

PS: I do realize this would most likely work only for torrents with good number of seeders. ****

    Stremio. Hands down the best. It has so many plug-ins for all types of content, yes furry porn and hentai included.

    You can add items to your library w/o downloading, I use it as a watchlist.

    I open Stremio if I know it’ll be one off, for my actual library good ol’ Jellyfin.
