On android I'm currently using Libretorrent, how does biglybt's android app compare to it ?

It's completely overkill for pretty much everyone but I have been thinking about building a kubernetes native client for months now.

Like the torrent should be treated as a normal resource with a Torrent CRD. It should be scheduled onto whichever node has available capacity and rescheduled onto a different node if it goes down. If allowed by the tracker, multiple instances could be run. You could set resource limits programmatically, easily configure block storage, build dashboards, export logs/metrics.. It would be open ended enough that you could have interfaces built as browser extensions, web ui, mobile app, tui, cli and be unopinionated so much that the method for torrent ingestions could be left up to the used. HTTP request, watch directory, rss client, download manager.. You could even do stuff like throw magnet links into a queue.. etc, etc..

I keep thinking it would be a great project but I just do not have the spare time to dedicate to it.. I imagine it could be used for large scale deployments for something like the Internet archive or whatever.

Finally real content

I really like biglybt, but why is it so... slow to add torrents or shut itself down? It seems as if the app does so many different things simultaneously that it doesn't do them seamlessly or instantaneously. I mean, why does it need 'up to twenty seconds' to close after you've downloaded something? Is it bloat? Is there a way to streamline its running?

I am interested in some of the features of BiglyBT, but don't love the .sh installer for Linux - they should have rpms and debs IMO. I'm a little concerned they don't end up in EPEL or whatever like qbittorrent is.

Can someone help me with qbittorrent? After a couple of days of running the docker container all my torrents get stalled until I restart the container.

Deluge has so much potential but it just crashes so often on windows.

[–] Jourei@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, so I wasn't going crazy after all, when my antivirus started getting hostile at uTorrent.
