Adding a torrent (via ContenHub) and downloading works

matteo

@pavelprosto hey I installed the .click in my PinePhone, arm64 architecture and apparently it works flawlessly, even though I didn't try to download and .torrent file yet! Good job Pavel

Keneda

Great! A new app that comes to uTouch!

@cibersheep yes, your error No space left on device

[Errno 28] No space left on device\n\n\nDuring handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:\n\n\nTraceback (most recent call last):\n\n  File \"/opt/click.ubuntu.com/transmission.pavelprosto/1.0.0/src/main.py\", line 240, in transmission_stop\n    pauseTorrentSave()\n\n  File \"/opt/click.ubuntu.com/transmission.pavelprosto/1.0.0/src/main.py\", line 233, in pauseTorrentSave\n    fo.close()\n\nOSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device\n"
qml: python error: Return value of PyObject call is NULL: OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device

This is the first version of the application and its functionality is still weak.

No check for the size of the downloaded file
No "Turtle" mode (reduced download speed)
There is no approximate time for how long the torrent will be downloaded.
But I plan to add all this in the next versions.
I agree with your opinion that the design needs to be redone.

The buttons are very cumbersome, the interface looks overloaded. I will correct

@matteo @Keneda Thank you so much.
As I can see, the library works correctly on different phones. So I will delete the scary inscription:

"This library is compiled for the armv7l architecture, so errors may occur.Install at your own risk."

@pavelprosto
There was an app for BT in open store or canonical store (or both), but i don't find it now, so yours is coming the right moment i believe ^^

PS : i'll test your app when it comes to open store.

Please, don't get me wrong, eh? My suggestions come from excitement and love

It's really nice you made it work!

New pre-final version of Transmission.

Testing has shown that the library works on all types of processor.
(The inscription "This library is compiled for the armv7l architecture, so errors may occur" has been removed from the installer)
Fixed a bug with a white screen after installing the library (Previous you need restart the application)
The interface has been updated to the classic Ubuntu Touch presentation. It now looks more compact.
Updated localization of the Russian language.

Known bugs that I will fix in future releases.

Due to sleep mode, torrent downloads can pause on their own (you have to manually pause and restart).
This bug will be fixed after: I teach the app to detect the approximate download time. Then, the program will be able to restart the download on its own.
If your device does not have enough space, then the torrent is added, but it gives an error [Errno 28] No space left on device
In the future, I will teach the program to determine the size of the loaded content and not add it if there is not enough space.
(I also plan to add a selective file download mode if a torrent with many files is being downloaded.)

The new version can be downloaded here:
transmission.pavelprosto_1.0.0_all.click
I would be very happy to test it and get feedback.

@cibersheep I find your comments very helpful. I love Ubuntu Touch and want to create beautiful apps that don't look like Android.

I have ideas on how to redesign the pause and delete torrent buttons. But I will already implement this in the next versions

CiberSheep

@pavelprosto Ouh. I see improvements there
Well done

@pavelprosto Fantastic app, I haven't torrented anything yet but it's looking good, one thing that seems like an over site however, is that there isn't an option to add torrents via magnet links.

Good work and thank you for your work, it is much appreciated!

@phoenixlandpirat another update.

Im trying this on the op3 and downloaded the manjaro torrent file, however Im getting this error.

@domubpkm
Yes, Downow it is!
I imagine the app's broken with last UTs as it is not in the OpenStore.

It is, the last update was in 2015

@phoenixlandpirat I had it on my phone untill last years when i switched from canonical OTA 15 to ubports OTA 11

pavelprosto

@phoenixlandpirat this version work only with *.torrent file in your device.
You can't open magnet link or not downloaded .torrent file.
Please tell us exactly when the error occurred.
Couldn't add Torrent?
Or were you unable to save your downloaded file?

PhoenixLandPirat

@pavelprosto I downloaded both a Manjaro and a Ubuntu .torrent, and both tried to add it to the torrent app and thats when I got the error, so it never added the torrent.

pavelprosto

@phoenixlandpirat Please give me a link to this torrent, I'll try to repeat your actions
