Torrent software that is actually good? (alien.top)

I'm looking for a torrent software to run on my server/VM. I want something that is easy to setup, has a decent web UI, a base set of features like autoadd and... well, you know, actually works.

Been running Deluge for a while but turns out autoadd is broken. Spent too much time trying to fix it.

QBittorrent breaks when I try to add alternative web UI (VueTorrent). I mean, it's still broken after restoring the config file. Also, it can't seem to display error messages in the UI so you have to dig through logs.

Transmission has been unreliable and has performance issues in my experience.

Please, can you recommend something that is actually good?

I use qbittorent in docker as backend and run flood for frontend as a separate container works a charm.

I run the prepacked blob from my host so that I can share the VPN.

I probably check the Web UI once a week just to make sure things are running smoothly.
