Guten Morgen allerseits!

#KTorrent hatte heute früh schöne Neuigkeiten für mich, bin auf dem besten Wege meine Schuldigkeit in Sachen #LinuxMint Images abzugelten.

Denkt immer dran, sharing ist caring 😁

#torrent #mint #upload

This year, I finally used #Qbittorrent and it is amazing. I was fine before with #Transmission and then #Ktorrent. But after adding search plugins to Qbittorrent I can't go back. I am using the qbittorrent-tak #snap version. It works great. I was using the #Flatpak version at first, but then it just stopped launching - even after an unrelated reboot. I will use Snaps or Flats, whichever works the best but, #SnapApps have been just working when given the chance.
Having a quick look at the #torrent parsing implementation in #ktorrent here https://github.com/KDE/libktorrent/blob/0ef3c90d58cc9b76bad281def7723e283ac21091/src/bcodec/bdecoder.cpp#L36 pretty old code with some lines dating back to 2010, it looks relatively clean to me. Can't say I'm a huge fan of all the try/catch blocks nor I trust it to be completely leak-proof with all those new/delete, but the biggest issue to me is the dependency on Qt, quite a big one if you wanted to extract just that functionality into your own tool

So many #KDE applications work great on Windows, it’s ridiculous. #Krita? #KateEditor? #Kdenlive? Awesome! #KDEConnect? Chef’s kiss!

Kind of sad that there are no versions of #KTorrent or #Gwenview.

So, yeah, what’s my operating system? #Firefox.
No, but really? KDE and #Nushell.
Stop it, be serious, what’s underneath?! Who cares.

#KTorrent 24.12.0 has been released (#libktorrent / #KDE / #BitTorrent / #Torrent) https://invent.kde.org/network/ktorrent
#KTorrent 24.08.0 has been released (#libktorrent / #KDE / #BitTorrent / #Torrent) https://invent.kde.org/network/ktorrent
`showSystemTrayIcon=false` krashes #Ktorrent 24.02.1. Kool to know.

There are many reasons to love #KTorrent. The way you can easily move data, delete single files, etc. It handles magnet downloads better by putting them in their own queue, which I never saw in other clients.

But OHMYEFINGAWD, why does it keep resetting all the columns when I breathe on it?!

There are also a lot of powerful but not intuitive things that should be improved (Groups, I’m looking at you!).

Just for the record, #qBittorent solved many problems I had with the (long abandoned?) #ktorrent and #transmission on #ubuntu, although I still appear unable to upload on #dimeadozen torrents.

Unlike the others too, the help button contains help.
