Support for more torrent clients #86
Comments
Quoting myself from an answer that I posted just a couple of hours ago:
|
@esteb4n it's a good idea to request this feature for @erengy to qBittorrent's Github page. 🍰 |
As an added commentary @esteb4n the 'bitcoin miner' with no opt out actually does have an opt out. Not sure why people are saying it doesn't. You can just click "Decline offer". Just meant as a general comment, mentioned because I dislike people spreading misinformation. I would love it for other clients to have this functionality though! I use uTorrent exclusively because of the Taiga compatibility, would love to see this in something a bit less, well, uTorrent-ish. |
That's still some very big bullshit and it's pretending "it helps the world be a better place and helps cure aids". That's terrible. |
@vendethiel that company (Epic Scale) is currently a complete non-profit. It donates 100% of its profits as of right now.
Article further reading. Mind you, I do not necessarily agree with uTorrent using the stupidity of the below-average user to do this, but it isn't unannounced, it isn't non-optable, and it is using the company proceedings to legitimately donate to causes which you can see however you want to. |
One work-around when using other clients could be to have it download to the default folder, then have Taiga move it to the anime folder. You'd get the same effect, more or less, and won't have to wait for the clients to implement the feature. If or when they do implement command-line download options, then you can switch to using that. |
For that deluge solution that does require you to be running the daemon with the thinclient (or webui) connected to it rather than just running the client as a single process. |
As of ff9090a, Taiga supports Deluge too (although it only works with |
Praise the sun |
Why the people say it's bitcoin miner? It's more like folding@home. Finding cure for complex diseases using cluster computering |
I remember uTorrent's about box claiming it will remain forever free, and then uTorrent+ happened. I'll tell you I imagined "remaining free" a little bit different. |
@Adyel we commonly call programs that do that 'botnets'. Regardless of functionality for the cluster computing it's still cancerous, and behavior you would otherwise expect out of a virus. Couple this with uTorrent being extremely insidious in the install process with trashware bundling, and it's not hard to realize why all the bad will towards the program exists. Add to that the fact that it's not even a good torrent program (try to add a ~32 GB torrent or a torrent with 40k+ files and see what happens) and wanting to use any of the better alternatives honestly just seems like a matter of course. The only reason I use (soon to be used) uTorrent 3.3.1 is due to the Taiga folder functionality, now that an alternative exists? Good riddance. |
Here is a script which I wrote to utilize qBittorrent WebUI API and gain its full support in Taiga. You have to know how to install and use python3 on Windows to make use of it. Do note that filename of the script must contain I would like if there was a feature to customize arguments which Taiga sends to a torrent client. So I might store each season in dedicated category and manage them with ease. |
It seems we can add qBittorrent support using the It's merged, although the argument is renamed to |
would appreciate if someone would break down into an explanaition of what @ConnorKrammer said and how to use it. since it seems like its the only way to use the feature with qbittorent. help greatly appreciated Edit: and also is there a way to do this without codes, just simple file directory and settings tweaks. (i dream a lot) |
qBittorrent v3.4.0 (or v4.0.0, depending on how it's named) will be supported by Taiga. I'm just waiting for its stable release. In other news, Taiga now supports Transmission too (see #439). |
Blessing have arrived. Now we wait. |
While some of us wait for the new qBittorrent stable release, here is a quick Python script that I wrote to help sort my downloads (similar to what Taiga does I believe for uTorrent and Deluge). It moves anime episodes from folderA to folderB such that every file is placed into a subfolder using the anime title as its name (subfolders are automatically created). To use the script, you will need Python3 and pip install the To further automate this process, I happen to have Git Bash for Windows on my machine, so I have an alias command to call a batch script (Windows) that calls the Python script. So now I just type a single word in Git Bash and my downloads from qBittorrent get sorted. (See the demonstration below). P.S. Taiga is the best (A big thanks to @erengy for developing it!) |
qBittorent v4.0.0 is out now. https://www.qbittorrent.org/news.php With a huge changelog. And its looks amazing, with a quite a few new features. Cant wait to see how taiga works with this. Edit: Wish i knew it would wipe all my rss feeds. |
Here's the qBittorrent stable 4.0.0 command line parameters Of note should be the However, while testing this out, I found out that if you have qBittorrent's Torrent Management Mode set to Automatic (where qBittorrent will manage save paths for you depending on the torrent's category), it will ignore the Edit: To clarify, if you have the mode set to Automatic and add a torrent with the |
Now that Taiga supports all the popular BitTorrent clients (Deluge, qBittorrent, Transmission, uTorrent), I'm closing this issue. Feel free to comment if you'd like another client supported. I checked out PicoTorrent and Tixati, but neither of them has the necessary command-line options at the moment. |
Thanks for all the work over the last couple of years on this feature! It's awesome to have more options. |
Bit of a noob, how would I go about setting a category in qBittorrent? I'm trying to use "Torrents/Downloads/BitTorrent Client/Use a custom application:" and launch qbt with parameters but I don't understand how to set it up using the --category= parameter. |
Would you consider supporting MediaGet it lets u stream the torrent as you watch too |
@mathu204 It's not possible for the same reason. Besides, I'd advise against using MediaGet. See VirusTotal reports for its installer and mediaget.exe. |
Recently uTorrent has started bundling an unannounced bitcoin miner with no opt out, on top of the already annoying practises of in-app ads etc. Support for more torrent clients with Taiga's "Use Anime folder as download folder" feature such as qBittorrent etc would be greatly appreciated.
