Greetings;
I just fired up 'transmission' because someone has managed to royally screw up
ktorrents screen handling. Its working, but even though I checked the 'ask
where to put it" box, it ignored it, and it is still putting it in my home
directory instead of the directory I normally download this stuff to. I can
fix that after its done, but why should I have to?

KTorrent in F9 is a KDE 4 app.
What "screen bugs"?
I sit corrected. One bug I've noticed is that it wouldn't remember the
column-width settings in the Files tab (from the InfoWidget plugin), but
this seems to have been fixed now.

Another comment too, when it was done, I did move the .iso, which
took several
minutes at a maximum speed of 3.4 MiB/sec, from / to /usr, which is a
separate drive on different cables even. hdparm says the drives are running
at about 70MiB/second from the surfaces. So where is that bottleneck that
took that move down to 5% of the disks abilities?
Are the disks on the same controller and are they SATA running NCQ or
just old fashioned stuff ?

Assuming it is reproducible for everyone. Considering that I don't see
it, that is a pretty big assumption.

Well I was gonna demo it for some sceenshots to put on my web page, but while
I did launch it, no gui came up, but according to htop its running and there
is eth0 traffic, it cannot be found and killed without ps or tops able
assistance. It is not 'docked', but then the kde docker hasn't worked here
since early FC6 days. It went away with a kde update over a year ago, and
has never returned. To this day, the only thing showing there is the klipper
icon. I'm hoping that F9 will be more stable in this regard.

No Rahul, but it seems like this is the sort of stuff that any use testing at
all would find.

You shouldn't have to. Is there a bug report filed on this?

No Rahul, but it seems like this is the sort of stuff that any use testing at
all would find.

Equally good question, that.

Touch any of its gui stuff that uses the bottom half of the slightly too small
screen it opens, and its 3 feet high forever.

I think Ktorrent is still at the KDE 3.5 level. I'm using it but there
are indeed some screen bugs under KDE4, though nothing intolerable. I
still find it the best BT client out there.

I generally agree, but here, if you touch anything related to its screen size,
it jumps to about 3 feet high on a 19" screen and ignores all further
attempts to adjust it. Having to alt-key mouse it to see 1/4 of its screen
is a PITA. One would think that ktorrent at least gets use tested, sadly,
obviously not. At least its not the cpu pig that azureas is.

I know some like to stick with purely linux apps but I've found that
utorrent works great under WINE.
