#rutorrent — Public Fediverse posts

The #ruTorrent web interface to my #seedbox keeps acting up, and doing restarts and repairs only seems to fix things for a day or three. But what I've read suggests sharing 4300 torrents shouldn't break things.

So I've been playing with the other #torrent clients available on the seedbox, qBitTorrent and Transmission. The latter is a toy only fit for simple downloading. I've been sharing some DVD rips I did for 15 years.

While #qBitTorrent has some capabilities, it's missing something as basic as dropdowns. I doubly categorize all my torrents; triply the newest ones. In ruTorrent, I can traverse a directory tree to get to the particular folder I want to drop a torrent in.

Not so in qBitTorrent, which expects me to type in a long filepath manually. I'm not going to drop different sorts of files, from multiple public and private servers, in one big pile.

I also label everything in detail, again mostly from my sixty pre-made labels, which I choose from a dropdown. qBitTorrent expects me to manually input those as well. Yeah, no. The amount of hoops required to make Q work barely adequately is too much, and I'm forced to stick to R, no matter how many errors it pops up when I change a ratio or whatever.
