This looks pretty neat. I've been using qBittorrent on Windows, but it doesn't really support bulk operations, so I've been writing Python scripts[0] to accomplish what I need. Please, cater to the users that need to idle with tons of torrents open all the time and make it easy to import/export the current state of the torrents loaded into client.<p>Also, shameless plug -- I work on an open source BitTorrent tracker[1] that was adopted by Facebook for deploying their server software and have been playing around with a framework for writing tracker logic via middleware[2]. If you want to talk about any of the client <> tracker interactions, I'm totally down for discussion.<p>[0]: <a href="https://github.com/jzelinskie/move_torrents.py" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jzelinskie/move_torrents.py</a><p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/chihaya/chihaya" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/chihaya/chihaya</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://github.com/jzelinskie/otoshi" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jzelinskie/otoshi</a>
I don't see the github repository for Picotorrent linked on the blog, so I'm linking it here, in case anyone else is interested: <a href="https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent</a>
How does this compare, featurewise/speedwise, to popular (yet simple and powerful) clients like Deluge?<p>I ask because I'm not seeing an FAQ, list of features or User Manual documentation on the linked page.
Very nice. μTorrent has long been riddled with ad's (with sound for gates sake!) and Deluge feels a little slow and bulky on my machine. This looks like a lighter alternative.
Installer 5,55MB, installed size: 20,6MB. That's not pico, more like mili- or centi- as compared to uTorrent.
For comparison, another open source bit-torrent client Halite (<a href="https://github.com/Eoinocal/Halite" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Eoinocal/Halite</a>) weighs at 2,34MB (installer) and 12MB installed.<p>Installer didn't even ask where I want to install it and did not display any success message, informing about successful installation. Needs more install options for power users. Also portable (zip) version would be a big plus.<p>More comments more, maybe, because PicoTorrent fails to work in Sandboxie.
