I used to use one called uTorrent. It seems to do the trick.

utorrent is terrible. It works, sure, but why would you tolerate a torrent app that has fucking ads in it?
qbittorrent does all the same things, and is open source with no ads.

Get a NAS or use any old computer you can get for cheap and upgrade as you go. Hook it up with a network cable to your router so it doesn’t hog your WiFi bandwidth.

Unless you want to potentially spend over a thousand dollars on hardware like I did, rent/subscribe to a seedbox. Managed to get my hands on 16 gigs worth of RAM and 15 TBs worth of SSDs before the market went haywire and I have a 1Gbps connection, so I’m seeding my Linux ISOs on my own hardware with the headless (web UI) version qBittorrent,
qbittorrent-noxon Linux.

qBittorrent is generally the go to. As far as the cloud what you’re looking for is called a seedbox
