Deluge vs Feem

Deluge is a free BitTorrent client that separates its daemon from the interfaces used to control it. It uses libtorrent for the BitTorrent protocol and offers GTK, Web, and Console interfaces. A thin client can connect to a daemon running on another computer, while the Web UI runs on a Twisted web server and supports SSL. The project lists magnet links, selective download, remote control, and DHT support. Installation guidance includes packages or commands for Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, openSUSE, Gentoo, and Flatpak; a Windows installer is available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7, 8, and 10. Deluge has no official macOS installer package listed, though the project points to community installation options. Developers can install it from PyPI, including with optional dependencies. Deluge is open source, and its source repository is on GitHub. Listed support resources include a user guide, forum, Libera.Chat channel, and Discord. The Web UI address listed for local access is localhost:8112, and the default password is deluge.

Feem transfers files directly between nearby devices, keeping transfers on a local network rather than routing them through the Internet. Devices can connect through shared Wi-Fi, a hotspot, or Wi-Fi Direct, including without Internet access. Feem discovers devices on the same network automatically and assigns random names by default. It supports sending and receiving at the same time, and includes chat; messages are deleted after 48 hours. The maker says local transfers use TLS 1.3 encryption and files stay on the local network. Feem pushes files from the sending device and says it does not pull files or expose the whole file system by default. Its privacy policy says it does not store chat history or see shared files. Devices must be near each other on the same local network, and the app needs to stay in the foreground during transfers. Feem is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. The free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited file transfers. Paid plans start at $4.99 a year.
