AUR does *not* cater to people who try building packages without
base-devel installed.

That being said, we have bittorrent clients available in the offical

figurator, NetworkManager.
As always, if you really like wpa_supplicant, or prefer systemd-networkd

netctl is somehow an okay networking tool wouldn't think so if they
