I use qbittorrent-nox and make torrents with transmission-create i.e I put peanut butter in your chocolate.

Sorry it doesn't take hours for transmission or qbittorrent or their cli versions to compile. It takes minutes even on old hardware.

I'm aware I'm taking the bait here but I think it's worth noting Aria2 is C++ as well. Not because of the compile time comment but because most expect such tools to be C and it's interesting to note in its own right.
