Exatorrent is an open-source, self-hostable torrent client that allows users to download and manage torrents directly from their own servers. Unlike traditional torrent clients, Exatorrent offers the convenience of running entirely in the cloud, which means you can access and control your downloads from anywhere via a web interface.

It’s designed to be lightweight and easy to deploy, making it an ideal choice for users who want the flexibility of managing their torrent downloads without relying on third-party services or applications.
