Finally a good Bittorrent client for Debian

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

I finally found a good Bittorrent client for Debian. Freeloader. The original homepage doesn’t appear to be live anymore, so perhaps it is unmaintained. But, it’s written in Python, so if I need some functionality that it doesn’t have, I can just add it myself. Here’s a screenshot:

Things that are missing (which I’ll probably add myself):

• Direct downloading of torrents by retrieving a .torrent URL
• Auto resuming when I’ve closed down the client.
• Auto (or manual) downloading of torrents via RSS
• Automatic seeding upto a certain ratio
