A few suggestions for the next version

[bidossessi]

hi folks. First off, a warm congrats on a brilliant idea and an even more brilliant execution. i had set off yesterday to find a bittorent client for GNOME and free myself from the resource-hungry ktorrent and ended up reading your whole history from the ubuntu blog.
I'm running opensuse 10.2 and i installed the 0.5.3 tar ball with no problem
it's close to µtorrent, without being a copy, lightweight and FAST! (twice faster than ktorrent with the same 4 torrents i'm downloading right now)
i'm not looking back, ever!

here are a few remarks i would like to offer as food for thoughts if you would allow me:

1-i tried opening a torrent from Firefox directly with deluge(Firefox download dialog), while it was running. the accept dialog never showed up but deluge lost focus.

2-if i check upnp in the network settings, i get a segmentation fault

3-i am switching over from ktorrent and was already downloading and seeding a few torrents. i had set limits for downloading torrents to 4 and for seeding torrents to 7. I'm looking for a way to emulate that

4-it would be nice to be able to manually check integrity/status so torrents completed in another bittorrent client can start seeding straight away instead of being queued for download - unless i let deluge run through the time-consuming process of checking ALL my torrents one by one (and i have more than a hundred in my list), i don't see how i can do that.

5-some form of grouping capability would be nice as well, especially leeching/seeding

6-this has already been mentioned: right-clicking is a bit of an issue. in the main panel, right-clicking on a file while another is selected merely shifts focus to that file. you have to right-click again to get the pop-up.

7-i do believe a stop-all button IS useful. sometimes, you just want to give all bandwidth to one torrent without having to fiddle with your settings. it's more intuitive to stop everybody and just start the one you want.

that's it. sorry for the long-winded reply; i'm no technical guy, so i talk

Any news yet about superseed option?
Now when I've used deluge for a couple of months, I've seen how big difference superseed makes.
In this time, I've uploaded approx. 5TB data what could have been only max 500GB with superseed

For now I'm using three clients, rtorrent on ssh connection, deluge on home machine and bittornado as superseeding client.
Deluge is a good client for downloading but can't compete with any superseed client on seeding

superseed is not available from libtorrent yet as far as I recall.

[scoffer]

No it's not on libtorrent, it's the only minus in using rtorrent =(..
If I recall correct, someone talked about possibility to make superseed with plugin?

I have no idea what this has to do with rtorrent, but ok..

This kind of feature would need to be incorporated into libtorrent and wouldn't be possible in a Deluge plugin.

I believe he is reffering to rTorrent being a BT client that also uses libtorrent hence it also doesn't have SuperSeed mode. You should just google it next time:

maybe you should google next time. the libtorrent that rtorrent uses is a different one than the libtorrent that we use.

Well I stand corrected ... but why on Earth are there two libtorrents, and what actually differs between the two?
