আমার uTorrent mythbusting tweaking guide পোস্ট করার পর, আমাকে promptly contact করল একটি reader nicknamed Plamen, যিনি আমাকে qBittorrent için a whirl लेने বললেন। আপনি যদি এই প্রোগ্রামকে তার বন্ধু এবং প্রতিদ্বন্দ্বীদের সাথে pit করেন, যেন uTorrent, Deluge, Transmission, এবং অন্যান্য, paper-এ, capabilities-এর list virtually identical, DHT, encryption, filtering, scheduling, এবং all the rest। কিন্তু আপনি যখন সেগুলো ট্রাই করেন তখন কী হয়?
এখানে আরেকটি aspect আছে। অধিকাংশ Windows users-র জন্য, uTorrent হলো de-facto Bittorrent client। তাই, যদি তারা Linux-এ move করে, তারা familiarity withdrawal থেকে ভুগতে পারে। অতএব, অনিশ্চয়তার ঢেলে থেকে উঠা দ্বিতীয় প্রশ্ন হলো, qBittorrent কতটা ভালো uTorrent-এর পরিবর্তে Linux converts-র জন্য venture করতে?
Quick tour
ইনস্টলেশন trivial, কারণ qBittorrent available in the official repositories of most popular distributions। And the emphasis is on most, comma, popular, rather than most popular, comma। Get it? আসলে, আপনি যখন এটিকে চিন্তা করেন, Linux offers more useful clients to its users than Windows। আপনি যদি uTorrent থেকে steer away করেন, আপনি হয়তো wonder করতে শুরু করবেন what else is there, but then the power of GPL beckons you, and you stumble across several free, cross-platform solutions, which have primarily been designed for Linux। Take qBittorrent for instance।
First launch-এ, আপনাকে sharing-এর potential hazards-র ওপর warn করা হবে।
The main interface is simple and very similar to uTorrent। আপনার tabs আছে, যেখানে আপনি আপনার RSS feeds চেক করতে পারেন, log examine করতে পারেন, বা content search করতে পারেন। Transfers tab-এ, আপনি all the usual and expected পাবেন। Layout virtually identical to the famous Windows client।
The plus side is that qBittorrent comes without any extras, like apps and advertising। Another useful feature is the ability to lock down the GUI। This will minimize the client to the notification area and will not allow opening it back again until you provide the correct password। Useful for hiding pr0n from parents or THE wife।
যে কথা আমি বললাম, এটি সব খুব simple and intuitive। Even the torrent content information, from bits and pieces you're downloading, to peers and other details। Settings menu-এ, again you get the same share of familiar and useful।
qBittorrent comes with a lot of settings that you can play with। আপনি schedule করতে পারেন periods where you do not wish to fully utilize your line, so you can use lower, alternative download and upload caps, you can set limits to your bandwidth, use proxy and IP filters, tweak the number of connection limits, as well as use a WEB UI for managing the client remotely, and many other options। If you are so inclined, you can even manually edit the settings, much like uTorrent। Of course, my tweaking guide shows how useless all of these changes are। Your bandwidth capacity and utilization will be dictated by your ISP, first and foremost, then by everything else।
আমার কেসে, 10Mbps line maxed within seconds on a Ubuntu ISO torrent download, fluctuating ever so briefly। আমি even one extra setting alter করিনি, except to open a port in the router for the sake of this demonstration। All in all, worked fabulously।
উপসংহার
এটি একটি very short review, আমি স্বীকার করছি, almost stretching the limit of my comfort as to how terse content can really be, but it comes with a few very important takeaways। One, qBittorrent is a very decent, robust client, on its own, competition notwithstanding। Two, it is very similar to uTorrent, so those switching to Linux will lose virtually nothing। Three, it can serve as a viable alternative to uTorrent on Windows, too, if you must, especially if you do not like a-la Skype changes and additions in the latest versions।
আমি most pleasantly surprised, as one simple programs opens so many options before me, because I found Deluge to be a bit clunky on Windows and Transmission does not have a Windows port। So if you're looking for commonality, and for the vast majority of people, uTorrent is the client of choice, then qBittorrent makes most sense all around। And of course, you lose nothing in the terms of aesthetics or functionality।
আপনাকে অবশ্যই এটি try করা উচিত। And thanks to Plamen - and Danijel, once again!
চিয়ার্স।
