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?

Maybe you like spending hours getting shit software to work, but I don't.

It took me all of 20 minutes to get qBittorrent, Radarr, Sonarr, and Prowlarr working in docker. And then another 10 minutes to add in the VPN container.

The important thing is that I left the GUI default because they work just fine, there is no need for different GUIs for any of it.

Oh, so you know all about my wants and needs?

Congratulations, you know how to use Docker. I prefer not to deal with nested containers and configure things myself.
