Torrent Client

[Quixotic]

I also use BitChe to find torrents. It then downloads it for Tixati to take over. This fails for some sites as the link is not so obvious and I have to manually go to the page and click the link. So a built in torrent search engine to make it seamless

Will give that a look.

Made the fatal mistake of updating the qt bindings so fighting with that.

Really cool! What's the stack? Open source?

The stack currently is rust and qt and rust / tauri (poc above)

I haven’t decided whether I’ll open source it as of yet.

Super cool!

Not a general chat per se but it was a per torrent chat, so you can make comments on the actual file/torrent you are downloading.

The irony is qBittorrent uses libtorrent lol.

Is uh, is qBittorrent not good anymore? I switched to it when something happened to uTorrent I can't even remember my reasons

Why do you even know about such evils?

he is probably a huge Miley fan? Could have been worse ie he could be a closet Justin Bieber fan too

I'm currently in the process of writing a new torrent client. What are some of your pet peeves with existing clients, and what features would you like to see in a new one?

Here's a sneak peek of the UI. I've only been working on it for about a week or two so far.

I am mostly doing it for my use, but if there's enough interest, I'll eventually release it once it's feature-rich.

Integration with something like real debrid would be sweet, this would allow downloading of the file even on networks that block the usual p2p traffic since all it cares about is the actual file.

Will check this, never used real debrid myself,

I've added this integration to my to-do list.

It's good, it does exactly what it was made to do which is download torrents.

Obviously we will only be wanting to watch those shows about open source and such.

An option so I could use this for anime/movies etc is adding your account ala AnimeBytes/IPTorrents and then I wouldn’t need Sonarr, Jackett and all the other kak on my server. Client would search for those ISO’s when available :/

The stack currently is rust and qt and rust / tauri (poc above)

I haven’t decided whether I’ll open source it as of yet.

Let us know how you find Tauri; wasn’t a fan the last time I tried building something with it
