BATorrent Files

Added

• One Add button where there were three. Paste a magnet, a link, an info-hash or a path — several at once, one per line — and the field says what it worked out as you type, because routing is the part a pasted link cannot show you. Choosing a .torrent sits beside it at the same size, since most people arrive with a file.
• Folders in the file list when you add a torrent. Unticking one unticks everything inside it, and a folder shows half-ticked when its files disagree. The size follows what is ticked instead of staying at the torrent's total.
• A magnet looking for its file list now says so, with the time it has been looking, a turning marker and a bar that admits it has no percentage yet. Before, it read as a download sitting at 0%.
• Tiles say why a torrent is not moving: no peers, no seeds, stalled, an incomplete swarm. The app worked these out already and only showed them on hover, in list view.
• Seeding says whether anyone is actually on the other end. "Seeding" to three people and to nobody for two days used to look the same.
• The category menu counts what is in each one and marks the one you are in, which matters most for the categories you made yourself.
• A short, permanent line about what sharing means, with the longer version in the setup wizard and in About.

Changed

• Motion throughout: the command palette fades and grows, rows deal in once per session, progress and the percentage glide between the engine's once-a-second reports, a torrent finishing on screen gets a ring, and tabs share one sliding underline. Static drop shadows are gone; borders do that work. Everything respects reduced motion.
• The progress bar lost its dark plate and its inner percentage. The poster already darkens at that edge, so the plate was black on black; the number sits beside a thinner bar and is legible whatever colour the fill is.
• Settings moved in with Downloads, Find and HUB, because it is a page like they are. What is left on the right is the VPN, which now says its state in words. Donate moved to the footer: a link out is not navigation.
• Monospace is for raw data only — hashes, paths, logs. Sizes, speeds and times are set in the interface typeface with tabular figures.
• One stroke weight across every icon, and one rule: solid means transport, everything else is drawn in outline. Enforced by a check now, not by memory.
• Cached covers and metadata are swept at startup once the torrents they belong to are gone, including anything still in the removed history, which can be restored.
• Dismissing the setup wizard counts as having seen it. It was only recorded on completion, so closing it once brought it back on every launch, for good.

Fixed

• Opening a magnet or a .torrent from the browser, a file association or the command line read freed memory: sometimes it added, sometimes it did nothing, sometimes it took the app down with it.
• Windows crash reports arrived with no backtrace. An uncaught C++ exception, an abort, and two of the C runtime's own failure paths never reached the handler, which is the kind of crash most likely to be worth reporting.
• Settings written just before a crash or a force-quit could be lost, which is one way the setup wizard came back.
• Torrent states showed in English whatever the language was set to, when the engine runs as a separate process.
• A finished torrent kept showing a download speed for several seconds, because the figure is a rolling average that fades rather than stops.
• A torrent marked completed said nobody was connected to download it. It is an archive; nothing is being offered.
• A cover or a custom background that fails to decode now falls back instead of leaving a hole or dimming the page over nothing.
• Deleting the selected torrent left a gap in the grid: the side panel collapsed while the tiles were still animating into a layout that no longer existed.
• The first-run cover cascade played behind the wizard and was spent before anyone saw it.
• The percentage was hard to read on the amber and green bars, and invisible at 0%.
• The category dropdown would not close by clicking it again, and appeared without any animation.
• Ctrl+K and the Get & Watch overlay drew underneath the pages.
