       | Is there anyone who has used both who can comment on the pros and
       | cons?

         | I like transmission because it has a python lib that's good
         | enough and a built in webpage to easily manage it on a remote
         | server by ssh port forwarding the command port.
         | 
         | I've tried other solutions in the past (maybe rtorrent, dunno?)
         | but find transmission to just work for my use case.
         | 
         | My basic workflow is fetch an RSS feed whenever I remember,
         | usually once a week or so, store the torrent info in a big json
         | "database" file and download the torrents when it is convenient
         | and/or I have access to fast internets. All with a simple
         | script through the python transmission_rpc library. Well, and I
         | manually upload the magnet links through the python repl these
         | days so that part of the script is commented out.

       | thing", this is the python 3 fork as stated in the readme.

       | These cutesy names are confusing. This has nothing to do with
       | curses interfaces for Tremec transmissions.
