หลังจากผมโพสต์ uTorrent mythbusting tweaking guide ผมได้รับการติดต่อทันทีจากอ่านรู้จักชื่อ Plamen ซึ่งขอให้ผมลอง qBittorrent หากคุณ pit โปรแกรมนี้กับเพื่อนและคู่แข่ง ที่ชื่อ uTorrent, Deluge, Transmission และอื่นๆ บนกระดาษ list of capabilities virtually identical DHT, encryption, filtering, scheduling และ all the rest แต่เกิดอะไรขึ้นเมื่อคุณลองพวกมัน?
ตอนนี้มีอีก aspect หนึ่ง สำหรับ most Windows users uTorrent คือ de-facto Bittorrent client ดังนั้น หากพวกเขาจะ move to Linux พวกเขาอาจ suffer from familiarity withdrawal ดังนั้น คำถามที่สองที่ rising from the muck of uncertainty คือ qBittorrent ดีแค่ไหนในการ replace uTorrent สำหรับ Linux converts ที่venturesome?
Quick tour (ทัวร์เร็ว)
การติดตั้ง trivial เพราะ qBittorrent available in the official repositories of most popular distributions และ emphasis is on most, comma, popular, rather than most popular, comma Get it? 事實上 當你 think about it Linux offers more useful clients 給 users ของมัน than Windows 如果你 steer away from uTorrent 你可能會開始 wonder what else is there 但 then the power of GPL beckons you 和你 stumble across several free, cross-platform solutions which have primarily been designed for Linux Take qBittorrent for instance
On first launch 你將被 warned about the potential hazards of sharing
The main interface is simple 和 very similar to uTorrent 你有 tabs 那裡你可以 check your RSS feeds, examine the log, 或 search for content 在 Transfers tab 你 get all the usual and expected The layout is virtually identical to the famous Windows client
The plus side is that qBittorrent comes without any extras 像 apps 和 advertising Another useful feature is the ability to lock down the GUI 這將 minimize the client to the notification area 和 will not allow opening it back again until you provide the correct password Useful for hiding pr0n from parents 或 THE wife
Like I said it's all very simple and intuitive 即使 torrent content information 從 bits 和 pieces you're downloading 到 peers 和 other details 在 settings menu 又 你 get the same share of familiar and useful
qBittorrent comes with a lot of settings that you can play with 你可以 schedule periods where you do not wish to fully utilize your line 所以你可以 use lower alternative download and upload caps 你可以 set limits to your bandwidth use proxy and IP filters tweak the number of connection limits 以及 use a WEB UI for managing the client remotely 和 many other options 如果你 so inclined 你甚至可以 manually edit the settings much like uTorrent 當然 my tweaking guide shows how useless all of these changes are 你的 bandwidth capacity 和 utilization 將被 dictated by your ISP first and foremost 然後 by everything else
In my case the 10Mbps line maxed within seconds on a Ubuntu ISO torrent download fluctuating ever so briefly 我沒有 alter even one extra setting 除了 to open a port in the router for the sake of this demonstration All in all worked fabulously
บทสรุป
這是 very short review 我必須承認 almost stretching the limit of my comfort as to how terse content can really be 但它 comes with a few very important takeaways 一 qBittorrent 是 very decent, robust client 獨立 competition notwithstanding 二 它 very similar to uTorrent 所以 those switching to Linux will lose virtually nothing 三 它可以 serve as a viable alternative to uTorrent on Windows too 如果你 must 尤其如果你不喜歡 a-la Skype changes 和 additions 在 latest versions
I am most pleasantly surprised 因為 one simple programs opens so many options before me 因為 I found Deluge to be a bit clunky on Windows 和 Transmission does not have a Windows port 所以如果你 looking for commonality 和 for the vast majority of people uTorrent 是 the client of choice then qBittorrent makes most sense all around 當然 你 lose nothing 在 terms of aesthetics 或 functionality
你 definitely should try it 和 thanks to Plamen - 和 Danijel, once again!
ขอบคุณครับ
