[Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client) (Finally in extras-devel!)

What is this?

QtRapids is a bit-torrent program for N900 using Qt. It should be relatively fast (no slowdowns during downloads). Please notice that I just recompiled this and edited the deb's dependencies a bit. I have NOT written this application and I take no responsibility for this application or what it might do to your device.

How to install?

Just download the program from extras-devel.

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids

At least it should be. At least on my N900 it was much faster than Transmission.

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids

when will you upload this to extras-devel?

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids

Any chance of having this packaged as 1 application and submitted to Extras-devel?

THAT would be great!

I really don't know how to get this to Extras-Devel since this program is still there (but the program package itself is removed because of missing dependencies). If anybody could help me in this I would upload it to Devel right away.

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

hope im not wasting your time here but when do you think some thing like this could come to extras
not linux savy so have no idea how to stabilize extra-devel apps..
will need to be spoon fed with a step by step process

thanks any way :)

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

Does this app handle private trackers ? Also this app seems to rely on a package called libboost-filesystem. Exactly what is that?

Most private trackers have a allowed list of clients, and usually it consists of azureus, transmission, rtorrent, µtorrent and deluge with various versions. So no go for QtRapids, however I'd check with the private tracker in particular if it's allowed.

EDIT: Oh and some might not even enforce any limitations.

Could you paste the complete output of the commands (a screenshot or a paste of the text from the terminal).

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

it tells me libqt4-maemo 5 dbus n core are missing while trying to install any help please?

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

Could you please paste the FULL output instead of just explaining.

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

OK, tried to install it to my device after removing it and all the dependencies of it and added a few new steps to installation instructions. I wonder why nobody reported properly of these problems before...

EDIT: And please report if it works now

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

Works perfectly!
I just finished dowloading 700MB livecd.
Download speed was about 1Mb/s, so it used our whole bandwidth.

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

So you can install the program but it crashes or what? Whose problem are you referring with "same problem"?

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

same complain that i wrote here that i cant install it at all cause tells me libqt4-maemo5 dbus and core missing

Are you sure you tried the newest installation instructions from the first post. Just continue from "apt-get install -f" if you already tried to install QtRapids but haven't removed anything yet.

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

hi sorry i didnt reply sooner
got it working after only part of it was installed with
apt-get purge -f
it found all the missing dependencys and works fine for me now thou you have to have full upload speed set to get full download speed
which is fine on wifi but sucks on gprs
and sometimes all partly downloaded files disapear but i think its just when nothings been downloaded and its just the ghost file( cant remember what its called lol)

The problem in your case might be (altough a paste of the results of trying to install it would REALLY help) that you already have the server and/or gui installed but they are missing dependencies. Run

Code:

dpkg -r qtrapids-gui

dpkg -r qtrapids-server

apt-get autoremove

and then try to install it like instructed on the first post again.

EDIT: And this is the solution for cloud596's problem too.

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

Hello,

I am following the instructions from the first post and here is what I get:

Code:

/home/user/MyDocs/temp # dpkg -i QtRapids-server.deb

Selecting previously deselected package qtrapids-server.

I don't think missing dependencies are the expected behavior.

It is actually supposed to act like that, just continue on with the installation ("apt-get install -f" repairs these missing dependencies).

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

Ok wrong assumption on my part..

Code:

/home/user/MyDocs/temp # apt-get install -f

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Correcting dependencies... Done

The following packages will be REMOVED:

  qtrapids-server

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 5 not upgraded.

1 not fully installed or removed.

After this operation, 221kB disk space will be freed.

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

It wants me to remove the packet... is that still the expected behavior?

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

if torrentday is considered private then yes it does work. much better than transmission

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

@quanttrom
Are you sure you have extras-devel activated. Some of the programs dependencies can be only found there.

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

That would do it :)

Thanks !

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

I followed instructions and i succesfully installed qtRapids avoiding broken dependencies error. The app works fine but the problem is that sometimes maemo notify me about software updates for qtRapids...obviously the package cannot be upgraded (dependencies problem...). The question is "why he ask me that?"...is there a new release of the app? How to solve it? Every day he ask me to upgrade qtrapids but i cannot...

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

Does Qtrapids support IP Filtering or Block lists ?

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

Sorry, could tell me how to use it and its uses?? thx be4 :)

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

Hi
Can you explain how to use and usefulness of this app!!? Thx :)

First read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_%28protocol%29. After that download a torrent from somewhere and open it with the "Open" option from the programs menu.

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

Thanks Mik546 but the PIN isn't 0.1-1 ??
Anyway this does not work...N900 continues to ask me to update the app.

Also tried with:
echo "qtrapids-server hold" | dpkg --set-selections
echo "qtrapids-gui hold" | dpkg --set-selections

But this way does not work too :-(

Code:

Package: qtrapids-gui

Pin: version 1.1-1

Pin-Priority: 1001

Re: [Maemo5]QtRapids (BitTorrent Client)

Ok, i replaced Pin 0.1-1 with 1.1-1 and now it works as u suggested.
Thank u Mik.
Just one question: why 1.1-1 ? The packages you attached in first post aren't v. 0.1-1 ??

The 1.1-1 was originally just a typo I did when I tested the command. I apparently never made sure it was the right version. 0.1-2 should be enough, when you pin that version it will be the first version it updates to.
