Torrent app for Android?

[JEDI]

I use uTorrent for my desktop.
Just installed it on my phone and it's ads galore.

Recommend a small lite torrent app?

Don't know that it's small, but...

LibreTorrent | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Copylefted libre software torrent client.

BTW, try qbittorrent for your desktop. It's libre software, and no crapware addons.

I would just setup a seedbox in a VM that has a web interface, you can still connect to it from your phone but the actual work is happening on the seedbox. I use rutorrent, works pretty good once it's setup. It's not very user friendly to setup though, rather than acting as a daemon it's an interactive app, so I have it run in a "screen" session that way it can still run kinda like a daemon. I have a watchdog script that makes sure it's running and if not it reboots the VM. Sometimes the screen session thing does not start properly so this was a cheap way to fix that. But now that it's setup it's basically set and forget. I have it run on a separate vlan than my main network, in case there's some kind of remote code execution vulnerability or something at least it's contained to that vlan.
