VueTorrent

VueTorrent

A sleek, mobile-friendly web interface for qBittorrent that uses the qBittorrent WebAPI to manage torrents, settings, and search from any device.

VueTorrent is an alternative WebUI (a visual front-end) for qBittorrent that talks to the built-in qBittorrent WebAPI. It provides a modern, responsive interface for managing torrents and viewing session statistics, while remaining compatible with existing qBittorrent automation workflows.

Key Features

  • Full torrent management: add, remove, pause/resume, rename, and selectively download files
  • Detailed torrent views: info, trackers, peers, content, tags, and categories
  • Built-in torrent search via the WebUI
  • Dashboard with session stats (upload/download speeds, totals, free space) and transfer graphs
  • Mobile-friendly interface with optional PWA installation
  • Extensive keyboard shortcuts and multi-select support
  • Works with qBittorrent features and clients that rely on the standard WebUI/WebAPI

Use Cases

  • Replace the default qBittorrent WebUI with a modern interface for desktop and mobile
  • Remote torrent administration on a home server or NAS
  • Manage qBittorrent alongside automation stacks that depend on qBittorrent WebAPI compatibility

Limitations and Considerations

  • Requires a compatible qBittorrent instance with WebUI/WebAPI enabled; some demo instances use mocked data and are not functional
  • Certain enhanced capabilities may rely on an optional companion backend for server-side settings

VueTorrent is a focused, modern front-end for qBittorrent that improves usability without changing how qBittorrent automation and integrations work. It is well-suited for users who want a faster, more mobile-friendly torrent management experience.

Flood is a monitoring and administration service for popular torrent clients, providing a modern web interface backed by a Node.js server. It connects to your existing torrent client and exposes an easy-to-use UI for day-to-day control and status tracking.

Key Features

  • Web UI for managing torrents in supported clients (rTorrent, qBittorrent v4.1+, Transmission; Deluge v2 experimental)
  • Node.js backend that communicates with the torrent client and serves the UI
  • Responsive, touch-friendly interface with collapsible navigation
  • Light and dark themes with system theme detection
  • Built-in localization with support for many languages
  • CLI-based configuration and options suitable for reverse-proxy setups (base path support)

Use Cases

  • Replace a torrent client’s default UI with a more modern, mobile-friendly interface
  • Centralize monitoring and basic administration across multiple supported torrent clients
  • Run a web dashboard for a seedbox or home media server environment

Limitations and Considerations

  • Some client support is experimental (notably Deluge)
  • File operations require Flood to have matching filesystem access and paths consistent with the torrent client

Flood is best suited for users who already run a supported torrent client and want a clean, responsive UI with theming and localization. It can be installed via npm, Docker, or as a bundled executable, making it flexible for different deployment preferences.

SeerrBridge

SeerrBridge

Browser-automation bridge that listens to Overseerr/Jellyseer webhooks and automates torrent fetching via Debrid Media Manager and Real‑Debrid with a Nuxt/Vue dashboard.

SeerrBridge is a browser-automation service that listens for movie and TV requests from Overseerr/Jellyseer and automates torrent searching and downloading through Debrid Media Manager and Real‑Debrid. It provides a web dashboard for configuration and monitoring and is distributed as a Docker container.

Key Features

  • Listens to Overseerr/Jellyseer webhooks and queues incoming media requests for processing
  • Automates torrent search and download flows in Debrid Media Manager using a persistent browser session
  • Real‑Debrid integration to push and manage downloads via Debrid services
  • TV show subscription support with episode-level tracking and automatic retries
  • Asynchronous queue management and retry logic for smooth processing
  • Regex-based filtering to exclude unwanted releases and enforce resolution/type rules
  • Modern web dashboard built with Nuxt 4 / Vue 3 for monitoring, logs, and configuration
  • Distributed via Docker with bundled database storage and optional visible (non-headless) browser mode

Use Cases

  • Automatically fetch movies requested through an Overseerr/Jellyseer instance and send them to Real‑Debrid
  • Maintain subscriptions for ongoing TV shows and auto-download individual episodes when available
  • Replace multiple "arr" components by centralizing webhook-to-debrid automation in homelab environments

Limitations and Considerations

  • Uses browser automation for Debrid Media Manager interactions, which may break if target site UI changes
  • Requires a valid Real‑Debrid account and Debrid Media Manager access tokens to operate
  • Not all debrid providers are supported; some providers are explicitly unsupported in current releases
  • Default Docker credentials are insecure; avoid exposing the dashboard publicly without hardening
  • Still marked beta; expect evolving configuration and occasional breaking changes

SeerrBridge is suited for homelab and media‑automation users who want an opinionated, simpler alternative to building a full "arr" stack. It focuses on automating requests end-to-end with a user-friendly dashboard and flexible filtering options.

Deluge is a lightweight, free software BitTorrent client designed for cross-platform use. It uses a daemon-based architecture that can run headlessly while being controlled from desktop or web interfaces.

Key Features

  • Core daemon suitable for headless servers and remote control
  • Web user interface for managing torrents from a browser
  • Plugin system to extend functionality and automate workflows
  • Encryption support for BitTorrent traffic
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)

Use Cases

  • Run a headless torrent client on a home server or NAS and manage it remotely
  • Manage multiple downloads with a browser-based interface on a LAN
  • Extend torrent management with plugins for automation or custom behavior

Limitations and Considerations

  • BitTorrent usage depends on network conditions and tracker availability; performance and connectivity can vary
  • Plugin compatibility may depend on the Deluge version and the specific plugin implementation

Deluge is a solid choice for users who want a configurable BitTorrent client that can run as a background service with remote management options. Its daemon + UI model and plugin ecosystem make it suitable for both desktops and server-based setups.
