I just use aria2c these days, for CLI it works more intuitively for me, but rtorrent is great as well. aria2c feels more like running curl or wget, much more intuitive for scripting with it. I'm just glad there are many choices.

Yep, same, I prefer aria2c for one go torrent/magnet links although it lacks a proper TUI for handling more than one torrent, transmission daemon and transmission-remote was better in that regard

transmission-cli is great. aria2c is great. There's even tget that works good: https://github.com/jeffjose/tget

As far as WebUI goes I do prefer qbittorrent.

For people really serious about torrents on the CLI/TUI, this is the best one I've seen: rTorrent-ps: https://github.com/pyroscope/rtorrent-ps

rutorrent web fronted for rtorrent is still a thing too! https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent
