Just a heads up: on my testing, the app seems to crash on Mac. Works fine on Linux though!

      well i downloaded the portable version and it doesn’t start when clicking the .exe

      edit: after downloading the 64bit portable version it seems to work. You have to expand the releases to get the 64bit version

        Seems like a good app.

        Games/Apps are the same category thou which bugs me.

        highlighting a word to copy it opens up the link. i dont like that.

        There’s no “back” button to return to the list. That really bugs me.

        Seems like a webpage in a app rather than a desktop app.

        I couldn’t get it to actually download anything. it adds the download but stays at 0.0%. not sure what’s up with that.

      Tried it out a few years back, it sort of works okay for those looking for something like this. Its interesting feature is the ability to search among other clients running the same software so it’s a sort of distributed search. To do that I think it has to advertise the torrents you’ve downloaded/loaded in the client so other people can find yours in the search.

      The UI is a bit difficult to understand, takes a while to figure it out how to actually use it IMO. Probably a good idea to read the usage manual on their github page.

        From reading the docs I get the impression that the client is discovering torrents from the DHT, and that’s also the data you can search from other clients. That means it wouldn’t be revealing anything about which torrents you’ve downloaded or are sharing.
