Torrent software that is actually good? (alien.top)

I'm looking for a torrent software to run on my server/VM. I want something that is easy to setup, has a decent web UI, a base set of features like autoadd and... well, you know, actually works.

Been running Deluge for a while but turns out autoadd is broken. Spent too much time trying to fix it.

QBittorrent breaks when I try to add alternative web UI (VueTorrent). I mean, it's still broken after restoring the config file. Also, it can't seem to display error messages in the UI so you have to dig through logs.

Transmission has been unreliable and has performance issues in my experience.

Please, can you recommend something that is actually good?

Transmission for me as I’ve always used it and it’s the only one I could get to update port forwarding through a put request when my vpn reconnects and the tunnelling port changes.

The nightly builds have been fairly stable for me running in a diet-pi vm.

It integrates nicely with flexget but equally as well with the arrs. I havn’t had any major problems. I havn’t heard of many that have.
