STATUS This application is very new and is in beta. There may be bugs! Also, the name "QTransmission" is a placeholder. VOLUNTEERS WANTED - If you find a bug, please report it at http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ - New translations are encouraged - Windows devs: it would be interesting to see if/how this works on Windows - Suggestions for a better name than "QTransmission" would be good ;) ABOUT QTRANSMISSION QTransmission is a GUI for Transmission loosely based on the GTK+ client. This is the only Transmission client that can act as its own self-contained session (as the GTK+ and Mac clients do), and can also connect to a remote session (as the web client and transmission-remote terminal client do). Use Case 1: If you like to run BitTorrent for awhile from your desktop, then the Mac, GTK+, and Qt clients are a good match. Use Case 2: If you like to leave BitTorrent running nonstop on your computer or router, and want to control it from your desktop or from a remote site, then transmission-remote and the web and Qt clients are a good match. To use the Qt client as a remote: "qtransmission -r http://host:port/" The Qt client is also the most likely to wind up running on Windows, though that's not a high priority at the moment... BUILDING This currently is a little awkward. We're working on it... 1. Prerequisites: Qt >= 4.x and its development packages 2. Build Transmission as normal 3. In the qt/ directory, type "qmake-qt4 qtransmission.pro" 4. In the qt/ directory, type "make"
