Extended rTorrent
distribution with UI enhancements, colorization, and some added features.
rTorrent-PS
is not the same as the PyroScope
command line utilities,
and doesn't depend on them; the same is true the other way 'round.
It's just that both unsurprisingly have synergies if used together,
and some features do only work when both are present.
rTorrent-PS
is a rTorrent
distribution in form of a set of patches
that improves the user experience and stability of official rTorrent
releases.
The main changes are these:
- self-contained install into any location of your choosing, including your home directory, offering the ability to run several versions at once (in different client instances).
- rpath-linked to the major dependencies, so you can upgrade those independently from your OS distribution's versions.
- extended command set:
- sort views by more than one value, and set the sort direction for each of these.
- bind keys in the root display to any command, e.g. change the built-in views.
- interface additions:
- easily customizable colors.
- collapsed 1-line item display.
- network bandwidth graph.
- displaying the tracker domain for each item.
- some more minor modifications to the download list view.
To get those, you just need to either follow the build instructions, or download and install a package from Bintray โ assuming one is available for your platform.
For more details, see the wiki page at Google code.
See the instructions on Google code, for either package based installation, or building from source.
- The build script is able to build a DEB package (living in
/opt/rtorrent
), pre-built ones for some Debian and Ubuntu versions can be found on Bintray. - There is an AUR package rtorrent-pyro-git for Arch Linux.
