Transdroid is a client for torrent servers. It doesn't do torrents by itself.

LibreTorrent is fine.

Progress getting stuck in the middle of a download might be caused by disappearance of seeds or lack of storage space.

Clear a gig of space and try with a known good torrent (e.g. this one) and see if the problems are still there.

Never had an issue with LibreTorrent.

I use qBitController to manage downloads on my home computer from my Android device.

Do you want something to download onto your android device? I thought LibreTorrent was fine 🀷

LibreTorrent worked fine for me when I used it for a few months (I generally use a home SBC and desktop).

I have no issues with Libretorrent, but I don't download a lot on Android. What about Gopeed?

It would be nice to have something as simple as Flud, but without the freaking ads and open source. At least Flud works 100% of the time and the ad, if one is even displayed, is only the tiniest little banner at the bottom. I'd tolerate it less if I downloaded torrents on my phone more.

Tixati isn't open source, but it is very good, free, and available on Linux.
