Torrent Manager view

  • Click any row to select it and open its detail panel on the right.
  • Right-click any row for the context menu.
  • Drag the vertical divider between the list and the detail panel to resize both sections.

Detail panel

The right panel shows details for the selected torrent across six tabs:

Tab What it shows
General Name, save path, info hash, size, progress, tracker announce status, creator, comment, per-torrent speed controls
Files Full file tree with size, progress per file, play button (for media files), rename controls; tree or flat view toggle
Trackers List of all trackers with announce URL, last/next announce times, status, seed and peer counts; manual re-announce button per tracker
Peers Live peer list with IP, client name, flags, download/upload speeds, and progress
Speed Real-time download and upload speed graph
Log Engine-reported log messages for the selected torrent

Status bar

The bottom strip shows live state across the whole application. See Status Bar for a full description.
