## What it is
Cloud Torrent is a self-hosted remote torrent client written in Go, distributed as a single cross-platform binary. Torrents are started via a web UI and downloaded files are served over HTTP for retrieval or streaming.

## Use cases
- run a torrent client on a remote server and download files over the web
- stream torrent downloads directly from a VPS via HTTP
- self-host a mobile-friendly torrent web interface
- search and start torrents from a browser
- deploy a torrent downloader with Docker on a cheap cloud server

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight single-binary torrent client with a web UI on a server
- you need to retrieve or stream downloaded files over HTTP from anywhere
- you want embedded torrent search and real-time updates in a self-hosted tool

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured desktop torrent client with fine-grained controls
- you require advanced features like RSS automation, sequential downloading, or proxy/VPN integration
- you need a client with a large plugin ecosystem or active feature development beyond core torrenting
