Transmission can run as a daemon, that alones makes it S tier.

should be S tier also, then.

I run Transmission on a VM that is permanently connected to a VPN. It dumps the completed files on an NFS share. I'm open to trying something different. Transmission seems like the best option.

What are the advantages to running it as a daemon outside of the obvious malicious ones?

I run it headless in a small pc in my basement that I use as server. it also has an http api so other systems can integrate with it (eg another program that looks for torrents and pushes the torrents into it.
