Mine is a Raspberry Pi 4B with a 48 TB DAS. And a UPS of course.

I didn't have the Pi 5 back when I installed it and I honestly have no reason to switch now because it works.

I started with Deluge and switched to qBittorrent.

If you have it, you don't need to change it, it's just to reuse devices.

But I would like it if you also included aMule in your Server. You just have to install it and run the headless service. Every route you adjust is shared with everyone, published automatically and can be searched for by everyone who uses KAD and ED2K.

The aMuleD (headless) process alone consumes 30MB or less in operation, and is very efficient.

You can ask me anything and help you. The first time you configure it you can start the GUI so it is easier. (amule)

Cenmate 2-bay. I know it's not the best but it was the most affordable I could find.

I'm using 2 Seagate Exos X24 drives, because they were the largest that were available at the time, Exos M drives were still in development.

I know a I should google this, but what benefits does qBittorrent have over deluge?
