torrent gui

2011-11-16 Thread Sha'ul
What can I use for bittorrent with a GUI? I ask for gui because some 
multi-file torrents I want to be able to select which files I want in 
the torrent and what I don't before torrent starts downloading. So I 
need more than just a daemon. I tried Transmission but that doesn't seem 
to have the GUI.

Are you sure about that?  I'll even bet their website 
(http://www.transmissionbt.com/) has screenshots of Mac, GTK+, Qt, web 
client, etc. GUI's on the front page...


As for disabling files before the torrent even begins, I've never seen 
that.  I just do it by hand after they start.

Install the transmission-gtk or transmission-qt package for your
choice of GUI.

You can also do that through transmission-daemon's web interface
or even with transmission-remote, the command-line program to control
the daemon.

You can tell Transmission to load torrents but not start them
automatically, i.e., "transmission-remote --start-paused" or the
corresponding checkboxes for the web interface and GUI clients.

Another option which does this by default is Ktorrent, it's featureful
and so probably has more bugs of course.
