## What it is
Electorrent is a cross-platform Electron desktop application for remotely managing torrents on servers running µTorrent, qBittorrent, rTorrent, Transmission, Synology Download Station, or Deluge. It handles magnet links, torrent file uploads, drag-and-drop, and multi-server configuration from a native desktop UI.

## Use cases
- send magnet links from my browser to my seedbox without copy-pasting
- upload torrent files to qBittorrent running on my NAS
- remote control rTorrent from my desktop
- manage torrents on multiple servers from one app
- paste magnet links from clipboard straight to Transmission
- get desktop notifications when torrents are added remotely

## When to choose
- you run a headless torrent client on a NAS, VPS, or seedbox and want a desktop remote
- you want magnet link protocol integration on your desktop
- you switch between several torrent servers or client types

## When to avoid
- you only torrent locally and your client's own web UI is enough
- you need a torrent client that downloads itself - Electorrent only controls remote clients
- you need a mobile or web-based remote
