I am currently seeding about 150 torrents with Azureus (clearly not all at the same time, but I have that many in my list and Azureus seeds whichever ones need it), and I'd like to give Ktorrent a try. My main reason for wanting to do so is that Azureus crashed and burned nearly every time I tried to download a monster 100 gig torrent. Ktorrent took over an hour to add some stuff from that torrent, but once I got the files I wanted selected it was fine. Anyway, I want to seed all those files, but it doesn't seem that Ktorrent wants to let me select multiple things at once.

Selecting and downloading 150 files is going to take forever, so I'd like to at least be able to do more than one at a time (like azureus). I remember seeing something about a thingy to autodownload from torrents saved in specific directories, but I have the files I need to seed sorted in various folders by category.

I'd appreciate any help on this; ktorrent looks like a decent program and seems to be much less resource intensive than Azureus.

Oh, I'm running Gentoo and KDE 3.4something and the latest version of Ktorrent.

Edit: Forgot to add, would having 150 torrents in my seed list kill ktorrent? With Azureus I only have it set to seed a few actively at a time, and if one stops needing seeds it goes back into the inactive queue.

We have a plugin which scans folders for torrents, so you could use that to achieve this.

How does it handle torrents that I downloaded to different directories (not the torrent files themselves, but the data)? It looked like the plugin would just dowload everything again into one directory, which I really do not want.

If you unset "Automatically save to", it'll ask you to specify a dir every time you add a torrent. Or you could add 10 torrents and save them to one dir, change the "automatic" path and save the other 10 elsewhere.

I don't know what you exactly want to achieve, but I guess it's doable.
