bittorrent client in tinycorelinux

<< < (2/3) > >>

curaga:
It might be a client-specific setting. I doubt there's an universal limit to how many one can download at once. Opera's additional settings are in opera:config.

Could it be that your up/down connection is being exhausted? Also cheap routers have trouble with lots of connections at the same time.

bigpcman:
Seems to me opera is a "heavy" solution to a gui bit torrent client. Transmission is a free linux 4.5MB tar.bz2 BitTorrent client written from scratch in C.

GTK+ - still goes, but anything gtk2 is not light
dbus - ughhhh....
gio, notify - extras, more deps

Note I'm not claiming Opera to be a light BT client either. It's a light browser though :)

Jason W:
I built transmission and it works well, am packaging it up now.  No dbus, gio, libnotify needed,  just gtk2, curl and openssl.

Thanks for the replies. I had to use opera because I also kinda needed a browser. Unfortunately after several days of using opera, btpd and aria2c, I seem to find btpd better because it is easier for me. I haven't heard about transmission though. Is it in the appbrowser of tinycorelinux 2rc1? I'll give that a try.
Another requirement for the client i'm looking for is the ability to either have a scheduler of sorts (like in uTorrent) or a command-line interface that allows me to change settings (so I can cron the scheduler). I know opera has a opera:config but I dont seem to be able to set it as a crontab or schedule changes to it.
