## What it is
Flood is a self-hosted Node.js service that provides a modern, responsive web UI for managing torrent clients like rTorrent, qBittorrent, Transmission, and Deluge. It offers multi-user and multi-client support, 20+ localizations, and an OpenAPI-documented REST API.

## Use cases
- manage rtorrent torrents from a web browser
- modern web ui for qbittorrent
- remote administration of transmission daemon
- multi-user torrent web interface
- self-hosted torrent client dashboard
- control deluge downloads via web ui
- monitor torrent downloads on mobile devices

## When to choose
- you want a polished, responsive web UI for rTorrent, qBittorrent, or Transmission
- you need multi-user access to a shared torrent server
- you want a documented REST API for automating torrent management
- you self-host services and want light/dark themes and localization

## When to avoid
- you only use Deluge (support is experimental)
- you need a desktop torrent client rather than a remote UI
- you want a built-in BitTorrent client - Flood only connects to existing clients
