VisitaMule vs rTorrent
What both publish
| Fact | aMule | rTorrent |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth controls | Token-bucket limiters provide hard upload and download caps, while slot controls regulate simultaneous upload clients. | The client offers upload and download throttles, which the user guide says apply globally rather than per torrent. |
| License | aMule is released under GNU GPL version 2.0. | The repository README identifies the project license as GNU GPL. |
| Remote control | The project provides amulegui, amulecmd, the legacy amuleweb interface and the newer amuleapi REST/Web UI. | Version 0.9.7 and later includes a daemon mode that disables the user interface and is controlled via XMLRPC. |
