A more full-featured yet still lightweight bittorrent client for Gnome. Has the ability to automatically resume partial downloads and background to the system tray.
Be the first to post a text review of gTorrent, a Bittorrent client for Gnome. Rate and review a project by clicking thumbs up or thumbs down in the right column.
gTorrent is now known as Deluge, and is available here: http://code.google.com/p/deluge-torrent/ There will no longer be any changes made on the SF.net page
I posted this on ubuntuforums.org a few hours ago, but basically gTorrent is getting close to a first alpha. The client runs, it downloads, and it can download multiple files at once. Unfortunately, there is no way to control the download, where it is saved to, cap the download speed, etc. Yet. Our engine, which is a Python wrapper class for libtorrent, does support these things, they just haven't been implemented yet. But, I'll post the code as soon as we deem it usable, possibly in the next day or so, depending on how quickly we can iron out a few of the really big issues.
gTorrent has successfully completed it's first bittorrent download. Sort of. The engine that we are using (A Python wrapper for libtorrent) works on the commandline, and my job this weekend is to work on integrating that into the GUI. After that is done, I'd think we're close to our first alpha release.
We now have a second developer on the project. Kripken will be helping me create the backend for gTorrent. At the moment, we are considering reusing the torrent engine from either the official bittorrent client or using libtorrent with python wrappers. I'll post a new screenshot shortly. Hopefully we will make some progress in the near future.
