lightweight torrent app for NVX

i was running Transmission on my ReadyNAS, but the lack of proxy settings has caused me to look for an alternative torrent app, i am not so worried about GUI, as most of the time i manage torrents via WinSCP and Transdroid

i was thinking of rtorrent, seems to meet most of my needs, but not much info on it for the ReadyNAS, can anyone suggest any other lightweight torrent app?

thanks
Dan

I'm not familiar if its lightweight, however, have you thought about using BitTorrent? Check it here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detai ... NibQ%3D%3D

I don't recommend that - check this post:http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=59964
Netgear deprecated it, and yoh-dah suggested transmission instead (back in 2012). Not sure why the link is still there.
