CLUSTER TORRENT-TERMINAL-DOWNLOADING · 12 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2018-04-20

Terminal torrent clients

This cluster comprises terminal- and CLI-based torrent clients and managers, including tools that control daemons like Transmission and qBittorrent, and some that add search or remote control via Telegram. Dated entries show sporadic releases starting April 2018, with a concentration of new projects between January and July 2026. Tornedo leads traction with 10 stars, while torlink and transmission-tui show minimal engagement.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
