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?

  1. 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.
  2. I want to be able to control seeding time globally, and per-torrent.
  3. Same for download & upload speeds.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.

I like #snaps they work, and they get out of the way. #Flatpaks are fine as well, I install them if that is an option over an #apt install. But, #Flatpak does have its annoyances like when I open #Calibre, and it tells me there is an update but nothing in #Discover. Or, when there is a flat in Discover, but it does not update. Also, #Qbittorrent stopped launching, so switched that to snap. Just my experiences and preferences. #YouDoYou
#Kubuntu #Ubuntu

The new #Gnome background apps feature is nice, except that I still can't turn off the AppIndicator extension, because if I do #qBittorrent suddenly has some sort of non-existent window that shows up in Activities and the window switcher, so the feature is actually totally useless for me…? Is this a bug just with qBt or is the feature just not finished yet…?

When I need docs I do

`man command'

When I pressed F1 in a gui program it did the following

* Request a helper running in my DE to parse a html page
* Ask the helper to open my default html parser
* __Without asking me__ the helper opened a __massive browser__ ravaging ram just to show me what I could find with
`man command`
* I wonder why instead the Ui program did not do the following

* request a helper open a (ba)sh
* parse >man command to the helper
* have the helper display the manpage in the sh

The results would be
* Much less resources used
* No assumption on my current internet connection would be made
* That method has worked for 60 years

/m shakes head and looks at the massive browser showing the equivalence of a manpage
