NanoTorrent 0.3.5

Changes since 0.3.4.

Transfer management

• Share limits. Stop seeding at a ratio, after a number of minutes, or whichever comes first, then pause or remove the torrent. Global, and overridable per torrent. Off by default, so an upgrade cannot silently start pausing things.
• Alternative speed limits with a schedule, and a turtle in the toolbar to throw the switch by hand.
• Queue order from the toolbar or the context menu: top, up, down, bottom. A multiple selection keeps its own order.
• File priorities — skip, normal, high, maximum — per file in the Files tab.
• Tags: many per torrent, where a label is one.
• Watched folder: drop a .torrent in and it is added, then renamed aside rather than deleted.
• Incomplete folder: download to one place, move to the save path when finished.

Trackers

• Add, edit and remove a torrent's announce URLs from the Trackers tab, in announce tiers, editing the URL in place. Changes are stored in the database, not written into the .torrent.
• The DHT, LSD and PeX rows now carry real seed and leech counts, attributed to the source that found each peer.

The engine

• Rarest-first piece selection, applied within a file's priority rank so file order still decides what gets attention.
• BitTorrent v2 seeding: incoming hash requests are answered from the torrent's piece layers, so someone else can bootstrap a v2 magnet from you. The v2 handshake bit goes on only for torrents that can actually serve.
• BEP 17 HTTP seeding (httpseeds), beside the BEP 19 web seeds already supported.

Database

• Encryption, in pure Rust, over the whole settings file. The key lives in DPAPI on Windows and a 0600 file elsewhere, so there is no password to type, and a change made outside NanoTorrent is detected rather than silently accepted.
• Export and import your settings, labels and filters as JSON. Passwords and plugin permissions are deliberately left out.

Web interface

• Queue order and the alternative-limits switch.
• A per-torrent panel: the file list with its priorities, the Trackers tab as data, tags, and that torrent's own share limits.

Plugins

• Plugin windows can put up a form — text, numbers, checkboxes and dropdowns — instead of the single text field they had. It draws in the desktop window and the web interface alike.
• The shipped RSS reader uses it: a full auto-downloader with must-contain and must-not-contain, regular expressions, an episode filter, a smart filter that takes each episode once, "ignore later matches for N days", labels, save paths, add-paused, and per-feed rules. Its own settings sit behind a Settings button.
• New for scripts: now(), and add_torrent_url with a save path, a label and a paused flag.

Fixes

• Plugin windows never had their translations wired, so every caption the window itself drew was blank.
• The Linux desktop notification now carries the real icon instead of falling back to a generic one when the .desktop entry has not been installed.
