I've been using #qBittorrent as my torrent client, and am generally happy with it, except for one thing: it's a Qt application, and looks a bit out of place on my otherwise GNOME-ish desktop.

So I'm going to look at how to have a torrent client with the features I need, with a GNOME-ish look. What kind of features do I need?

  • I want to have categories for my torrents, so that whenever I add a new torrent, it'll be placed in the directory of the category.
  • I want to be able to control seeding time globally, and per-torrent.
  • Same for download & upload speeds.
  • I want to be able to select which files of a torrent to download (if I can also assign a priority to them, even better).
  • Gives me an overview of my torrents (name, size, progress, down speed, ETA, category, and when it was added)

    • qBittorrent gets me all this, and more. I'd like something similar, but with a GNOME UI. I don't care if it is a frontend for qBittorrent, or another torrent client, I'd just like a GNOMEish UI.

    Lets see if I find anthing...

    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.

    hello everybody.

    can anybody share with me a tutorial to create my own #torrent (even better if it's via #qbittorrent ) I think I've gotten the gist but everything I seem to find on the net is pretty old, like 2019 most-recent-old...

    I know there are alternatives but I think sharing what I want with a select few people over bittorrent is the best for me (and yes I understand I have to be seeding so anybody else can download)

    qBittorrent stops seeding after 5 minutes. - Lemmy.zip

    When I download a torrent, it automatically goes to the ‘completed’ state. If I start the torrent again, it seeds for 5 minutes and then goes back to the ‘completed’ state. I haven’t changed any settings. How can I fix this issue?
