As we enter a new year we see that The Pirate Bay is the best-visited torrent site once again, moving up from the third spot last year. Update: The top torrenting sites 2021 list is out now. QBittorrent is one of the best torrent clients available that runs on the Raspberry Pi's ARM hardware. It sports both a desktop client and an easy to use web interface. One of the best parts of qBittorrent is its powerful web interface that allows you to control almost every aspect of the client with relative ease. Install Deluge on Raspbian. There are several BitTorrent clients for Linux worth considering, but we. This week, we’re looking at five of the best BitTorrent clients, based on your nominations. Which makes it ideal for servers, NAS boxes, HTPCs and other 'headless' systems.

• Headless Server
• Minecraft Headless Server
• Arma 3 Headless Client Setup

Actually, if it is a strong enough hardware, you can run any GUI application that you'd like with vnc (like I do Ktorrent and aMule on my headless Arch server).
Here's how you do it:

1. Install basic xorg, a basic window manager and tight vnc on the headless server:

2. Run the server once so it will create ~/.vnc and setup passwords

3. Setup the vnc startup script (so you wont need to ssh and manually activate it after the headless reboots).
Call it vnc and put it in /etc/rc.d/
Dont forget to set it up to run at startup in rc.conf
replace daf666 with your username!

#!/bin/bash

# general config
. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

Headless Server

case '$1' in
start)
stat_busy 'Starting vncserver'
su daf666 -c '/usr/bin/vncserver'
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
stat_fail
else
add_daemon vnc
stat_done
fi
;;
stop)
stat_busy 'Stopping vncserver'
killall Xvnc
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
stat_fail
else
rm_daemon vnc
stat_done
fi
;;
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 3
$0 start
;;
*)
echo 'usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}'
esac

4. To setup openbox to run at startup insert 'openbox' in your ~/.vnc/xstartup

Minecraft Headless Server

5. Reboot the headless

6. Install tightvnc on your desktop machine and connect to the headless: vncviewer 6.6.6.6:1 (replace with ur IP and screen num)

Arma 3 Headless Client Setup

7. Install ktorrent or what ever.. then it will keep running after you disconnect
