[Suggestion] Deluge in Xfce spin

[Raphael Groner]

Hello Xfce fans,

I would like to suggest Deluge (Bittorrent client) as a default package
for the Xfce spin, replacing transmission. It is due to Deluge have
much more features. Features is one of the four basic principles of
Fedora.

""
Deluge is a full-featured  BitTorrent client for Linux, OS X, Unix and
Windows. It uses  libtorrent in it's backend and features multiple
user-interfaces including: GTK+, web and console. It has been designed
using the client server model with a daemon process that handles all
the bittorrent activity. The Deluge daemon is able to run on headless
machines with the user-interfaces being able to connect remotely from
any platform.

Deluge features a rich plugin collection; in fact, most of Deluge's
functionality is available in the form of plugins.

Deluge was created with the intention of being lightweight and
unobtrusive. It is our belief that downloading shouldn't be the primary
task on your computer and therefore shouldn't monopolize system
resources.

Deluge is not designed for any one desktop environment and will work
just fine in GNOME, KDE, XFCE and others. We do our best to adhere to
the  freedesktop standards.

Deluge is  Free Software and is licensed under the  GNU General Public
License.

Are there any figures showing e.g. needs of ressources compared to
Transmission? Imho, the plugin system is a good point though we
shouldn't leave lightweightiness of the XFCE spin too far behind.

Yeah, but being fast and lightweight are features of Xfce. On a default
install a full install of deluge will add 17 MB disk space. If you don't
install deluge-web it's still 12 MB. Transmission only takes 4.6 MB.

Given the limited space left in the Xfce spin, I am -1 to your
suggestion.
