[Bug 35547] Re: Bittorrent should support UPnP
Transmission will be the default torrent client from Hardy - including UPnP support. (Released publicly in 2 days from now.) The feature is very unlikely to be backported to be default in older releases. ** Changed in: bittorrent (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- Bittorrent should support UPnP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35547 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 35547] Re: Bittorrent should support UPnP
It might make sense for upstream gnome-btdownload to abandon the official bittorrent as a backend considering BitTorrent upstream is now a windows-only closed-source program (based on utorrent) and use something else - libtorrent perhaps? I'm not sure, but there have to be better backends. -- Bittorrent should support UPnP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35547 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 35547] Re: Bittorrent should support UPnP
The handler for torrent files that is installed by default should just work. That means it should use UPNP. This would benefit a lot of users, and projects distributing large files (some games). I am on Gutsy development right now, and the version of the installed bittorrent package is 3.4.2-11ubuntu2. What is blocking newer versions, or a patched version, from being packaged? -- Bittorrent should support UPnP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35547 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 35547] Re: Bittorrent should support UPnP
The blocker is that the license for the 4.x.x/5.x.x series of Bittorrent are under a restrictive license with regards to mirroring and distribution and other aspects, making it difficult for us to redistribute it. -- Bittorrent should support UPnP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35547 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 35547] Re: Bittorrent should support UPnP
I should also add, with that said, it wouldn't be overly difficult to implement UPnP abilities on top of gnome-btdownload, which might be worth our interest to do and commit upstream. Personally I'd love to see a standardized UPnP client that can be called with Dbus which other apps can use too, so this might be a part of a bigger picture. -- Bittorrent should support UPnP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35547 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
