gnome-btdownload is dire

[Martin Alderson]

Hi all,

I want to advise you to get rid of gnome-btdownload after hoary. It's
very, very bad:

1. It doesn't have the new file selector.
2. It doens't resume properly. If you click stop then resume, it'll
simply delete all of your file and start again. Not good at all.
3. It has very poor download speeds - with gnome-btdownload I couldn't
reach 20kbyte/sec. On the exact same file with Azureus (which is so
much nicer) I was eaisly getting 55kbyte/sec. Obviously this could
just be a coincidence, but I did it for 3 files, and very similar
problems.
4. It doesn't handle multiple torrents. It also doesn't save your
settings, so you have to set your upload speed every single time.

Considering there was an excellent replacement that someone had made,
it seems very silly to keep this in for anything after Hoary.
