Let's be realistic. No one outside of /g/ will ever use this client. And their retarded domain name probably will attract your average "uTorrent is a botnet" faggot on /g/. (Not saying that uTorrent is good)

Im interested in what you have done by now, what else you need to do and how is it better than, say qbitttorrent or deluge?

A .io domain costs $60 and I didn't feel like investing that on a project I just decided to help out last night.

I didn't buy any of the gtorrent domains because I felt that was up to the project leaders to make the decision. I don't mind fronting the costs, I just want to make sure the domain is what everyone else will agree on.

The .info domain was $3 and I felt like people would have a laugh at it so I sent ahead and did it.

Why the fuck is Windows even relevant?
If you wanted to do something helpful for the dumb /v/ fags using Windows, it would be a fork of TrueCrypt, not another mediocre libtorrent-based torrent client.

Windows is a closed source hacker target made by a company who does everything it can to cooperate with the NSA. Anyone using it to store sensitive information is an idiot.

It's a very placebo thing. Apparently std is too short to use a namespace. Without std namespace, on the other hand, you'd just have a bunch of shitty std::cout statements and whatnot.

And so C++ programmers call that beautiful, what a damn joke. I'd rather C, Scheme or Haskell than deal with C++ shit.

There's no fragmentation. They all use the same core, they're all the same client. Just different frontends, which isn't an issue or fragmentation. They all talk to each other correctly

GNOME nor RetHat care about windows, gtk+ is a bad choice for windows (and in fact for any system) and it has horrible API
I can't see why they aren't using Qt since they are using the evil C++ anyway

That's not true. There's a few Windows users who are going to work on the Windows port but they need more Windows coders to do a win32 port.

The core is independent. GTK3 is just for the Linux client. The Windows build will be win32, and they are looking for more Windows coders, so spread the word.
>>
>>43141671
>but they need more Windows coders to do a win32 port
What the hell? Something like gtorrent can be done in one week by one person and you need so much time and people just for a port? Are you kidding me?
>>
>>43141698
Why not Qt then? It would work on windows without the need to port it
>>
>>43141689
>>Are they programmers?

Yes. There's 2 or 3 people who can do the WIndows build but they need as many people as they can find.
>>
>>43141671
Well, I haven't seen any code started on it. Not that I blame them, Win32 isn't non-trivial.

>>
>>43141708
>>Why not Qt then? It would work on windows without the need to port it

Because Qt is basically the same thing as making another version of qBittorrent. They are doing a core, and then a GTK UI for Linux and a win32 UI for Windows. As they decided since the project started, this was going to be a native experience on every platform, and they are sticking to it. If they didn't do a Win32 build akin to uTorrent/Foobar, there would be no point in making this client at all, because the main goal is to get to all 3 platforms before uTorrent does and provide a community-run alternative.
>>
>>43141721
>>Well, I haven't seen any code started on it. Not that I blame them, Win32 isn't non-trivial.

Exactly. That's why there's this panic in the thread about it. It's more daunting a project than people realize and all they can do right now is keep trying to find people who are interested in helping with the win32 port.

dubs speak the truth.

can we get a tally of the man hours and resources already wasted?
>700 commits
lets say each commit is at least 30 minutes of work
>700 x 30 = 21000 man minutes
>21000 / 60 = 350 man hours
> 350 / 24 = 14.6 man days
2 weeks worth of full time commitment.

Let's say they could be getting paid minimum wage at 10$/hr
>350 * 10 = 3500$
3500$ worth of wasted time

Plus 3-4 domains purchased at atleast 2$ a pop

3506$ total dollars wasted on this abomination

Read the thread, asswipe. There is a win32 build in the works, but they need more win32 programmers to help them do it.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to make a win32 build? You need either one smart dev like the foobar guy or a fleshed out team to realize it.

>>43141785
That's the gtk build just so Windows users can try it out right now. The win32 build needs more help.
