I'd like to see KTorrent step to the forefront of torrent clients with these adds...

* Super Seeding
* Multi announce/scraping to limit strain of requested server

Small wishes...

* menu item to remove torrent and delete the torrent metafile.
* torrent info page that shows all the details, like hash, etc.

Thanks for the efforts already. KTorrent runs really smoothly and presents nice. For me I can't use it as it hits on my tracker and causes the web-host to think I'm doing a DoS. I'd also like to use a client with super seeding so that I can best use my upload bandwidth.

Cheers, 0e8h... ps. if I get time I may look into the source code and see if I can help with your development.

I would like to see hashing queue. If I wanna add e.g. 10 torrents to seed, every of them are being hashed at one moment ... and my HDD can do its best but Ktorrent very often crashed. Every torrent should be hashed one by one ... so it would be done in revamped manager in Ktorrent v 3.3. Do you agree?

Bravo 0e8h,
I too would be very interested in the multi announce feature. I have been using uTorrent with wine for a long time now and apparently been spoiled to this feature. To me it seems to be an essential feature to be assured that if one tracker has an error or goes down that the others are still there.

I hope this wish comes true!

* Super Seeding

Super seeding is an ugly hack (abuse of protocol in my opinion), but it is somewhere on my TODO list. Will probably be a part of 4.1.

* Multi announce/scraping to limit strain of requested server

Announcing to all trackers was added in 3.3beta1

* menu item to remove torrent and delete the torrent metafile.

This option is useless, you can remove the meta file after you loaded the torrent, KT makes a copy of it when the torrent is loaded and keeps using that.

* torrent info page that shows all the details, like hash, etc.

Most of the information which is in a torrent is already shown, and what isn't shown is not very useful for users. This is why I have always found no reason to add a properties dialog or another tab showing this.

The torrent information dialog could be useful, for example, one information HARD to find is in which groups is one specific torrent. I try to put them only in one group each one, but sometimes you just fail. It could serve also as a dialog to change in one place torrent characteristics which are scattered among different places:
* Move data to another folder.
* Add/remove from groups.
* Speed limits
* Queue number (so you could put 10 and it moves to place 10 in the queue and all the rest move one down).
* Maybe define "base group" or "principal group" for the next feature I'm going to ask for.
* See/remove/add trackers.

All in one place. So yes, while a properties dialog could contain tech data which is mostly useless to an user, it could be a very functional place to have all the control over a torrent in a single dialog.

Hi. I want to add to the wishlist to check for files included in the torrent in the file system. It's happened that I have to download a very big torrent with a lot of files (sometimes from a number of computers) and I want to put it together to seed, but I can't. Also and/or as a part of this, set priority to the web seeds over torrent files. I've tried this but didn't worked either.

Currently I'm using Ktorrent 3.2.4 on an Kubuntu 9.10.

Greetings.

Just put the files in the right location and select "Check Data" in the context menu of the torrent. That should do it. As for the second part, I haven't used web seeds yet.

Oddly, I'd like something like this as well. Both being able to cut and paste the info hash and read the original posters full comments would be nice.

Is there any way whatsoever to copy the file hash info?? I sometimes paste it into google to find more trackers.
I really like KT otherwise, but this is the only torrent client I've used that (seemingly) doesn't have this option.

For my part, there are two things I'd like to see.

1 - I'd like to be able to perform "Check Data" on a batch of highlighted torrents.

2 - I'd like an easier way to re-seed a torrent. I'm not aware any torrent works the way I'd like a re-seed feature to work so it's pie in the sky, from that aspect. I'd like to be able to point to the torrent and then point to the file. From there, KTorrent should do everything.

2 - (continued)

As I envision it, I should be able to click on a torrent in my browser, have it come up in KTorrent, and either be able to enter the location of the completed file to re-seed or just click through it, have it come up and start to download, and then right click to select "re-seed" from the context menu at which point it should let me steer it to the completed file.

Once it knows the Torrent and the completed file, it should be able to copy the completed file into the location that the in-process file currently resides, do a "Check Data", and then (assuming "Check Data" finds all of the blocks OK) switch to seed.

File -> Import Torrent

Or just selecting the directory where the data is when you open a torrent.

Thank you.

I have a couple of wish list items, both of them having to do with managing multiple torrents.

First, if I download a number of .torrent files at once, say for separate episodes in a series, I'd like to avoid having to specify the destination directory each time. Could there be a check box that says "Use this directory for all other torrents" that persists only through the session or until unchecked? Otherwise you have the problem of tedious clicking and clicking to put all the downloaded files into the same directory.

I'd also like to see a way to apply limits and other management tasks to a group of selected torrents. For instance, I selected a batch of torrents for which I wanted to increase the maximum share ratio. There seems to be no way to make such a change across the entire selection. Instead I again had to select each individual torrent and make the change separately.

Thanks for a great program!

Not really a wish, just something I noticed. Ktorrent isn't recognizing utorrent for macs, it just shows them as unknown client under the "client" column.

µTorrent for mac will be recognized in 4.0.5

I would like to add to the wishlist the posibility to download a movie so I can watch it while it's downloading. I mean that the pieces should pe prioritized and first should be downloaded a few pieces from the start, a few pieces from the end and then from the start in their "natural order".
