![]() There's rTorrent and KTorrent, which both have avid fans on Linux?īubbleNSqueak wrote:This great extension worked in my FF 21beta, but since updating to FF 25 beta it is just greyed out and it can't connect. Versions from 2.9 upwards work, and theoretically quite a bit older too.ĩ0%+ of torrent users should be covered now, so what's next? Deluge uses a weird authentication methodology, not HTTP and just a password with no username, so I'm not keen to mess about to support that. You should automatically be switched to this, but if something looks weird, check the options and make sure it is selected. There is now just one choice for all qBittorrent versions. There are all sorts of versions, but everything from the latest release back to the fairly old 4.3 provided in many Linux distros should work. Torrent Status should pick the default settings for whichever you choose, but obviously you'll have to fill in any password and change any non-default port. Each has their own configuration settings, but basically it always boils down to picking a port and choosing whether to have username and password authentication. There are three choices: HTML WebUI, azSMRC multiuser remote control, and Vuze Web Remote. Vuze needs a plugin to enable remote access. Versions back to at least 1.4 should be supported, which is ancient. Transmission is simple enough, but you have to remember to enable the web interface from the options. V1.6 adds support for Vuze/Azureus and Transmission. Either kind of icon will work identically. The statusbar shim is going to disappear completely one day and then your icon would just disappear again. You can turn it back on in the options dialog, but it might be better to drag one of the toolbar buttons from the customise palette instead. ![]() The big downside of Torrent Status v1.4 is that your addon bar icon may disappear The review team have decided that icons in the old status bar shim can no longer appear by default, so even if you've been using it for years it will disappear. And those native notifications I see in Firefox 17 ESR are just beautiful. Still, you're free to go back to modal dialogs if you want. Windows actually seems to get native notifications. Macs are the same, a nasty box up in the top right corner. Unfortunately no sooner did Firefox get them working well on pretty much every Linux out there than they replaced them with HTML5 notifications which are not native and are really ugly. I have changed the default notification method from modal dialog boxes to the "native" because these have more functionality, are less annoying, and now work reliably on all platforms. Each server can now be disabled without deleting it, and then it won't appear anywhere outside the options dialog. qBittorrent does have a habit of banning users after quite a small number of failed logins, which can be frustrating when you're trying to connect, and the only way around it seems to to restart qBittorrent after it happens. You can still type one in manually while this is happening, or just wait for it to run its course. The server address textbox will indicate when the addon is looking for a listening torrent program. Initial configuration and connection of a new server is improved, although the step-by-step wizard didn't make it into this release. The icon theming for each server is extended into the notifications and alerts. You can now add (and delete) as many different servers as you want, although I guess most people will only need one. V1.4 includes a rewrite of the code for configuring servers. ![]() The queue is shorter, but it still looks like a minimum 3 week wait. v1.4 fixes this, so you'll need that if you want to use qBittorrent v3 for anything other than magnet links. Don't know why they changed an API that worked just fine, but they did. v2 is OK but the latest version on Windows and many Linux distros including Ubuntu is now 3. Unfortunately qBittorrent v3 doesn't work for torrent file downloads. V1.2 is finally approved, after more review shennanigans with the team making up new rules that nobody has heard of before and then refusing to approve addons that don't even contravene those rules.
