I suppose it's a bit of a "hoop," but what I use to download files with curl, aria2, or wget is a Firefox add-on "cliget" (I’m not sure if there’s a Chrome version). You click a link in the browser to download, and it generates a command for these programs to emulate a browser download. I don’t use it all the time, but I do for large files or slow downloads. Since these programs are CLI-based, I can run them on my server and let them work for as long as needed.
I guess it's still not an option for people who download a lot using direct downloads, but still just putting it out there as an option for people like me.
I had the same issue this that site. I think it is caused by ad block. I browse the internet with Firefox that have ad blocking addons installed, but always have Chrome installed without any adddons to test sites just in case. And on chrome it worked OK.
For me it is China after I noticed that a lot of them uses some kind of strange client that always shows that they have 0 progress to get better priority from other pears. Later after I started to look into it I noticed that they do not even seed.
But that's the literal point of WebUI of any program. To make it possible to connect and manage the program from any device from the remote machine. And there is a reason why most developers choose to use WebUI - you don't have to create multiple cleants for every OS and every internet connected device has a web browser. In fact web browser can be considered the client in this scenario.
What could be the reason why anyone could be against WebUI? I can only think of one advantage of native client that has to be installed is that it would make of possible to associate torrent files and magnet links with it.
And lastly, if you would search for qbittorent remote client most likely in top 5 results you would find electorrent. I haven't tried it but at least description claims that it can be used with qBittorrent.
Edit: heh it seems I managed to reply to my own comment.
qBittorrent-nox is as separate as you can get. It can be run on the server without GUI. It also provides WebUI, that can be modified if you wish, but you don't have to use it. Moreover, most (if not all) settings can be edited through the text file and torrents added using CLI.
qBittorrent, when Web-UI is enabled (doesn't matter if it's nox or not), provides and API too. IF you have a client you can connect and manage everything using it. However, the only clients I know are for android.
I have Thunderbird opened constantly, so I just open Google Messages in one of the tabs in it. Only problem is that it does not show any notifications, but I get them through KDE Connect.
Have you checked in mobilism? I searched for it and found some releases and bunch of (paid?) skins for it? I never used it and heard about it just from your post, but from what I gathered from releases on mobilism that even modded versions are trial ones and you have to clear app data every 15 days to reset the trial. The catch is that app has backup/restore function that does not work on modded versions for some reason.
On not that related note. mobilism policy is quite strange. It seems they allow some "trial" versions but not others. I managed to crack an app that had only a trial version, that work for 24h and then would locks the UI and asks user to buy a pro version. You could clear the app data and use trial version for another 24h, but every time you would have to go through short setup that becomes tedious fast. I simply removed that time check and in my opinion for all intent and purposes it became a pro version. They removed the app for being a trial version.
I haven't seen a YouTube video without a separate audio track. If you use yt-dlp just add -F and the URL to get all available download options/formats. Then use -f and the number of the download option and URL to download the video/audio. Audio on YouTube is available in two formats most of the time: opus and m4a.
I can't say I'm an expert in this, but I would say use whichever you want. There won't be a big difference between then. If for some reason one doesn't work, try another one.
I used it on Ubuntu server, because I wanted to cross share my torrents on that network just to keep it alive, however it had a memory leak and would eat all of 32GB of RAM in couple of days. Had to give it up.
I even tried to compile it myself, because I read somewhere that one of the libraries caused the issue, but it didn't solve it for me. It's a shame it's not in active development anymore.
I would say let the people who want to stay on reddit have it. This protest was the best thing that could have happened to /r/piracy, because now there is this place with 17k subscribers. I know there was another backup before this, but I don't think it was this popular. And if reddit will go public there is a good chance that that subreddit will be banned or quarantined and at that point it would have been hard to spread information about something like this place.

Pihole does not block YouTube adds.
You telling me you couldn't install nvidia drivers on Ubuntu? It's one of the friendlies distros for new users out there.
Official instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaDriversInstallation
TLDR: "sudo ubuntu-drivers install" if that fails read the instructions.

You mean something like running qbittorrent-nox and connecting to it using web ui?

So you have two separate LAN networks. Look into that second router if it can be made to work as access point. That would solve your problem.
Again, I haven't tried it, but most likely those moded apks re-enable ability to clear the data.

And it's up again. I think it's faster now. At least at my end. I think all the new users stressed their hardware.
