A free, open-source BitTorrent client with a plugin system and a full web interface.
Our take
The plugin-first option: Deluge’s own site highlights full encryption, a web user interface, and a plugin system as its core pitch, keeping the base app simple while letting plugins add features as needed. Free and open source, cross-platform across Linux, macOS, and Windows, with the latest stable release at version 2.2.0.
