Transmission may be a feature of Puppy and Dog-based OS, but rtorrent is lighter, even user-friendly if you have a good how-to :

Now I am using rtorrent without any problem. It just blows away every other client with its speed , efficiency and elegance . I am going to write this tutorial so that others can benefit from my experience and they don’t have to face the problems that I faced .

This tutorial is divided into 3 sections i.e. Installation , Configuration and Usage . So here I go :

rTorrent + ruTorrent Installation And Configuration Script

rTorrent is a text-based ncurses BitTorrent client based on libTorrent, great for usage on servers, while ruTorrent is a web front-end for rTorrent.

Installing and setting up rTorrent and ruTorrent on an Ubuntu or Debian server can be a complicated, tedious task, specially for inexperienced users. rtinst is a script that makes this easier, by automatically installing and configuring rTorrent, ruTorrent (stable or master), and everything else needed for an Ubuntu or Debian (including on Raspberry Pi) seedbox.
The script was updated recently with some important improvements, like support for the latest Debian 10 (buster) stable release, and automatic Let's Encrypt certificates generation if possible (in case it fails, it falls back to self-signed certificates).
