Torrent Search

Post by zAchAry »

Torrent Search is a torrent searching application developed in Python, and using GTK+ for its graphical interface. Torrent Search is available under Linux and Windows.

Torrent Search looks for torrent files on different websites, and allows the user to filter the results, making it very easy to find the torrent you want.

The websites are integrated using plugins, allowing to add new websites or improve the existing plugins very quickly.

Torrent Search is a free software, released under the GNU/GPL license. For more details, see the License page.

That was fast, thank you, laprjns!

Perhaps you should add a warning, in the package description, that it
may use a lot of RAM memory when submitting general/sketchy terms.

I looked up for: nwo, and after a few minutes the process torrent-search
took ~550 MB (I stopped the search), no it takes 534 MB ;)

Or maybe I need to send an e-mail to the developer, to put a
warning message on first start-up or after the user is clicking Enter
and the search is (very) short (do you wish to continue...)
.

Edit: ~550 MB should be ~275 MB and 534 MB should be ~267 MB.

You should send an email to the developer that he should plug that memory leak.

a. It searches in a very large databases (you can deselect websites, you may choose just one).
b. Limewire will limit you when it come to short terms, after all, "nwo" is very short.
c. There's no need to wait after a few minutes for the application to search a torrent. If you're really need to find one, then it'll be very short to do so.

Sorry, I will not be doing that. Frankly, that type of issue is between the developer of the application and the users. I don't use this package and really don't have any need for it. I just try to make sure the the package run correctly and meets Salix packaging rules.
