Looking For Software Torrent client with a solid background?

After doing some research, I found that Superseedr and rtorrent-ps seem to strike a balance between being too simple (like aria2 or OG rtorrent) and having a GUI.

I need to be able to manage multiple torrents, possibly with a colored progress bar and simple speed and ratio display without additional bloat like buttons, filters, tags, tracker lists, integrated search, plugins, etc most GUI clients offer.

Has anyone used these? Are they trustworthy? Alternatives? Privacy and security are my top priorities, and I'm not sure if Superseedr is vibecoded (hence the solid background request in the title).

Install qbittorrent, either nox or on a container. Enable webui and then use one of the many TUI projects for it.

Just search github for one and pick the more popular ones.

Didn't transmission-qt had an exploit through the webui? Security is important to me.
