Gale 0.5.0

New

Torrent downloads. Click a magnet or .torrent link in Chrome or Edge, paste a magnet link (Ctrl+V or Add URL), or
pick a .torrent file with Add URL -> ".torrent file...". Multi-file torrents get their own folder. Pause and resume
work like any other download, also after a restart. The speed limit applies. Gale stops sharing a torrent when it
finishes or is paused.
Downloads that were running when Gale closed or the PC restarted carry on when Gale starts.
A download that fails because the connection dropped is retried by itself (after 15 s, 30 s, 1, 2 and 4 min).
Both can be turned off in Settings -> General.
The quality menu on videos opens without the wait: on video sites Gale reads the qualities as soon as the video
page opens, elsewhere as soon as you point at a streamed video.

Fixed

Saved videos were named "Title [video-id].mp4". They are now named after the title only.
Videos and audio from the browser were sorted by the file extension of the page instead of into Video and Music.
The tray Speed limit menu did not show a limit changed in Settings.
About page and extension links pointed to the old repository address.

Notes

The first torrent may make Windows Firewall ask whether Gale may accept connections. Allowing it gets more peers;
torrents also work if you don't.
Only download and share torrents you have the right to. Peers can see your IP address.
