BitTorrent Client Ktorrent For Linux It was nice for Novel to ship Ktorrent a Bittorrent Client for Linux. I use BitComent for Windows and it's a smashing bittorrent client. Likewise I was in search for a good Bittorrent Client from a very long time for Linux. It was a bliss to see a Bittorrent Client installed by default in SUSE 10.2Linux.
KTorrent is a BitTorrent client written in C++ for KDE using the Qt user interface toolkit. It is maintained in the KDE Extragear. It seem to be far superior than BitComet. Here are some of its corner stones: 1. It gives the user the tool to decide the Upload / Download ratio , coz some of the Torrent Websites ban the users if their Upload / Download ratio is poor. No doubt you can do the same in other clients, but they don't let u decided the ratio. You just have the control over Upload Speed and Download Speeds. Thus through Ktorrent User is not required to do all the tedious calculations. 2. The other dazzling facet of it is that multiple torrent tasks (downloading as well as uploading) can all be stopped or started at the same time in one go. So you are not required to do the tiresome job of starting or stopping each and every task one by one. 3. Another noteworthy highlight of it is the colorful graphical manner in which it portrays the part of torrents downloaded and parts of torrent still remaining. 4. The most exemplary trait I came across was that it can even play uncompleted songs. Though it plays in random manner and not in sequential manner depending on the parts of song downloaded but still its quite praiseworthy. Well I haven't check it for Videos Coming to other side of the coin, I just came across one goof. At times speed of the downloading tasks droops all of a sudden. In that state of affair you have to stop the downloading task and restart it. However it may be the blemish of the tracker or peer as well, coz I examined the software just using two torrents both having ample of seeds.
