A new stable release is available for ktorrent and libktorrent. No real big features but a lot of small changes and improvements have been added to ktorrent and libktorrent.

Changes in libktorrent include:

- Support for the partial seeding extension
- Moving data files jobs are now queued
- DHT performance has been improved

Most notable changes in ktorrent:

- Individual files of a torrent can now be checked
- Improved video streaming
- Multiple torrent tabs have been removed in favor of a single one, to simplify the interface
- Possibility to hide uploads, downloads and not queued torrents in the queue manager
- Search bar in the main torrent list

For a full overview of all changes, take a look in the ChangeLog files included with the source code.

Is there any reason why kio-magnet build disabled by default?

P.S. Only -DENABLE_KIO_MAGNET=1 is working but after "sed -i 's|${ENABLE_KIO_MAGNET}|ENABLE_KIO_MAGNET|g' CMakeLists.txt" should work -DENABLE_KIO_MAGNET=true or -DENABLE_KIO_MAGNET:BOOL=ON.

I'm curious too why kio-magnet is no longer enabled to build by default. What's the rationale? (I ask mostly as a distro packager, whose users strongly want magnet support...)

Because the protocol handler files interfere with each other, so one of the two must be enabled by default. Note that ktorrent is now registered for magnet uri's so things should work as expected.

And kio-magnet does all sort of stuff with the torrents it loads which is contrary to what most people who open magnet links in their browser want. I'm going to deal with this properly in 4.3, didn't feel like tackling this for 4.2, given the fact that I didn't write the code of kio-magnet.

Ok, thanks!

ktorrent is registered for magnet uri's? I don't see
x-scheme-handler/magnet
listed in ktorrent.desktop MimeTypes= key

Is that a bug?

There is a magnet.protocol file installed

ok, thanks.

Das ist doch mal ein guter Tipp!!
Vielen Dank
