Halite (named after the mineral) is a C++ BitTorrent client based on the excellent libtorrent library developed by Arvid Norberg.

halite's Issues

[Feature Request] AppImage

Can you please provide an AppImage, this is basically just a standalone portable executable for linux, that doesn't require installation.
Thanks

There are different ways to create AppImages:

Use Open Build Service (OBS)
Convert existing binary packages (.deb, .rpm, …)
Bundling your Travis CI builds as AppImages
Run linuxdeployqt on your Qt application
Using electron-builder for Electron-based apps
Create an AppDir manually

Launch fail in 7z distro

Setup: Win7x86 and x64, Halite v. 0.4.0.3

Steps:

1. Download 7z version
2. Extract with 7-zip
3. Launch halite.exe

Defect: no response. Appears in Task Manager but no window ever appears.

There is a report on portablefreeware.com that this is also happening on Win8x64 but I can't verify that.

Application icon in Windows 8 Control Panel "Programs and Features" list

Show speed in megabytes / second

It would be nice to have option "Show speed in megabytes / second" or automaticaly convert in approriate format because on broadband internet these hundreds of KB/s looks weird.

"Pause" button pauses all torrents when only one selected

"Pause" toolbar button pauses all torrents when only one selected, but this does not happen when no torrent selected.

0.4.0.2
Windows 10

Files remain open after removing torrent

If a seeding torrent is removed without stopping it, torrent files remain open and can't be deleted from disk. They also (probably) reopen after halite restart. To close files one should stop torrent before removing it.

Check file problem

V4.0.4 don't auto check file after add torrent when there already exist data in download folder.

Slow UI

I have 151 torrents loaded, only 2 of which are active, yet the interface is very slow to respond to scrolling, much less sorting (which it forgets to do at start-up). It was even slower when they were around 220. The number of active torrents doesn't affect it. I tried to make sense of the API you use, but I can't figure out where it connects to the Windows API. I guess it just adds too much overhead.

Update of Dutch.txt language file

I've just stumbled upon Halite through an announcement at majorgeeks.
Always interested in a compact torrent client I tried it out and found it a worthy alternative.
Upon realising that the Dutch language support is a bit behind and decided to fix (most of) that.
Not familiar with the workings of Github, I herewith send the result of my work.
I hope you can take it from here. Thanks Eóin.
Cheers, Stephan

Paused the torrent right after adding, all files still downloaded

On the torrent list it still shows 0% and paused, however, all the files are 100% downloaded in the files tab, and I've confirmed they are fully downloaded and playable. I was trying to only download 2 of them, but apparently there's no file selection (contrary to what the front page states)? When I press "Manage Torrents" nothing happens either.

I'm using the portable (zip) version.

Sometime on startup Halite does fast recheck of files and notifies that torrent is completed.

But it is already completed time ago.

seems like DHT isn't working

the client tells me 0 DHT nodes, even though I have DHT enabled and my port is correctly forwarded

How to compile Halite?

There are no instructions on how to compile and no where to contact author to find this out.

Anybody managed to do this and have some tips?

Need halite support show pieces of file

Need halite support show pieces of file, because with it, I can start play video and download in same time, if possible please make it show if 50% first are downloaded(and can be set high for the first file), I'll really appreciate that

Releases only available on SourceForge

Releases only available to download from SourceForge, now a known malware injector. An alternative should be found.

"Total" column in torrent list shows strange values

No option to unselect on adding new torrent

If a torrent contains 90 files but I only want one of them, other torrent clients let me check the one box before it adds the torrent to the download list.

Halite is excellent in every other way, but this one feature is sorely needed.

Halite won't download anything

I just recently reloaded my computer. I'm not sure what is causing the problem but when I add torrent files to Halite they just sit at 0%. I'm running Eset Smart Security and Halite is allowed in and out via UDP and TCP. It's

I'm also running behind a VPN but never had a problem with it before. Using AirVPN Auva server.

I don't know where to check to see what is causing the problem but it acts as though Halite can't connect.

Add button labels

The buttons along the top have no labels, either initially or even when you hover over them. No problem if you know what they do but infuriating if you are new to the program.

Links to Forum and Subversion from GitHub README.md are not working

Support for non-ANSI characters

When torrent has files with non-ANSI characters (outside system charset), Halite is able to download the files correctly, but after restart writes to log "Resume data generation failed", displays torrent progress 0% and starts downloading it again. Also "Files" tab is empty.

Feature request : Sheluder/Calendar :)

Hi !
First, thnak for this amazing client ! <3
And, my request, if this is possible : a way to configure time with X down/up speed in a day / week (like 500kB/s the day and 1mB/s the night) ^^

Shutting Windows down while Halite is running causes all settings (including hash database) to be reset

Hi,

So I decided to give Halite a whirl as it looks very minimalistic and have come across this issue.

It appears there is no saving mechanism to the settings file while Halite is open, only on close.

Things I've changed:

• Enabled/Disabled some columns
• Resized columns
• Hashed/checked torrents that have been imported

When I shut down or restart Windows while Halite is running, it wipes this and I have start again. However, I did notice the settings values are saved.

Expected Result - Halite should save these changes not only after a safe close, but during the session.

PS - Keep up the great work!

Statistics per torrent counted in terabytes are not so useful

Feature Request: RSS and Download in Sequential Order

Well, the title explains itself.

Is there a chance that this two features will be added in the future?

Add better scaling support for UHD monitors

This program is nice, but in UHD screens, everything looks very pixelated, if you apply win10 scaling options, program looks nice but toolbar icons are very tiny.

Also, a more modern icon set or options to customize them should be nice.

Halite needs a high resolution icon for high DPI monitors

Currently if you enable large or medium icons on the desktop (on a 125% DPI scale) the halite icon looks pixelated.

Question: Is NAT not supported?

I tried latest Halite x64 but I could not download anything. Log attached.

I wonder if NAT is not supported? My desktop is running behind a home router which use NAT to separate my home network from the ISP's.

Haven't tested with other special characters. Tried to add a torrent with a "/" both in torrent filename and the downloaded file's filename. Log message displayed:

2015-Jun-14 08:10:11 Info, Invalid torrent (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000) from add_torrent.

Further Development

Anyway to continue the development of this client ? I'm not asking for major leaps or features just update the libretorrent base to latest.

Prioritize content

qBittorrent has the option to view and prioritize the files of a torrent, in the case of torrents with multiple files.

Halite does not appear to be able to prioritize or even view the files of a torrent.

Permanent full allocation

My problem is, I'm downloading a lot of ISO files and Windows' native ISO mounting feature doesn't work with sparsed files. I chose Halite because it allowed me to choose full or compact allocation, but it would be great to choose one of those permanently in settings, not for each particular download, especially that there's not much to be done about it when the download is already started. I created an account on github just to contact you since I found no other way to contact on your website.

Color coding in the torrent list

It would be a very handy feature if the rows of the torrent list were color-coded according to status, eg. light green background for finished torrents, etc. like in uTorrent, When I look at this list, the most common information about a torrent I'm interested in is "is it down yet?". Now I have to find the Progress column and read a numerical value every time. Color coding would have a huge impact on usability.

feature request: skip hash check

Translated text not always fit available space

In settings these issues can be fixed with manual window width resize:


So in settings maybe solution is simple as small default width increase.
Or use word contractions? (Not suitable in all cases, I think)

Debug, IP Filter blocked <ipaddr>, <torrentname>: blocked peer: <ipaddr> [privileged_ports].

It is really not nice to be doing this when the user has not requested to do this, especially when ip filter is even set to inactive. Happens with both ipv4 and ipv6 connections.

Many people run torrents on privileged ports to escape ISP traffic throttling, or vanity, or whatever reason - nevertheless i don't think anyone wants a single seed or peer to be dropped off because of their port number. Never encountered this kind of port [wording edited Eoin] before, it's an interesting thing to implement on a protocol which tries to maximize connectivity.

This is a brand new install (never tried Halite before) on Win7-64, running on a privileged port itself (making it sure not a single Halite client is going to connect to it...).

Another issue, on this magnet uri
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:546cf15f724d19c4319cc17b179d7e035f89c1f4&dn=Ubuntu+Desktop+GNU%2FLinux+14.04.2+Trusty+Tahr+LTS+x64+64bit+amd64&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969
leechers-paradise.org:6969 gets truncated into leechers-paradise.or, log entry:

None, Alert Ubuntu Desktop GNU/Linux 14.04.2 Trusty Tahr LTS x64 64bit amd64 (udp://tracker.leechers-paradise.or) (-1) No such host is known (1), Status code: -1, Times 1. ()

Another issue, UI has phantom message "Port nnnnn open" in lower left corner which is not seemingly related to anything, since Halite has been bound to a single port in options (not this one). Checking with netstat, this port is not listening or in use either.

Also wondering how many issues did go unreported because seemingly the only way to do it is to register an account with Github, i'd say 99,99% of people will just quietly drop it instead (i just happened to have way too much time atm). An email account like [email protected] could be rather welcome.

Watch directory feature

Not sure if I'm just missing it in the settings, but would it be possible to implement a feature to scan a specific directory every n seconds, and automatically add any valid torrents found?

Another small niggle is that the toolbar button don't have tool tips when hovered over making the distinction between global settings, and toggle settings confusing.

"Play" button do not resume download or seeding after pause

I think here is a bug in version 0.4.0.2 on Windows 10.
When pause torrent it is impossible to resume it using toolbar button.
Only works on right click torrent and click "Resume".

Dual monitor issue

I had halite running on a secondary monitor on my laptop. When I unhook the second monitor and try to open it on my laptop alone it stays off screen. I can hook it to the secondary monitor and move it back to the first screen and its fine until I close halite and reopen it. Then it stays on the secondary screen location again.

Default splitter size when maximised needs adjusting

On a fresh run, the default splitter size for the detailed view (peers, trackers, etc) is too aggressive. It should be closer to 50/50 instead of the current value.

See screenshot for more details

Buttons are not visible in Add Torrent dialog

They appear when try to rezise window.

"Apply" button from Settings' tabs is always disabled

No matter which option/value gets changed in the Settings' tabs, the "Apply" button is never enabled.

Halite 0.4.0.4 not updated

I download Halite-0.4.0.4-x86.7z, and files in this archive still version 0.4.0.3, dated 20/9/15.
Please, update the archive!.

Thanks

Toolbar buttons tooltips and usage

New user can understand icons without explanation wrong, especially toolbox, gear and switch buttons. Also red X on toolbar which turns off Halite seems not to be very useful.

Not sure if these things are translateable

"Share ratio limit" doesn't appear to work

Windows 8.1, tried 32-bit then 64-bit version.

The "Share ratio limit" option under Globals => Seeding LImits doesn't seem to do anything. I have the share ratio limit set to 2, yet my torrents continue seeding far past a 2.0 ratio, one went to something like a 5 ratio before I cancelled it.

I'm not sure if the time ratio limit works. I tried disabling "time ratio limit" and "time limit (sec)" to see if that made a difference, but it still doesn't stop seeding at the limit.

Possibly related, the "Apply" button under Settings never becomes clickable no matter how many settings I fiddle with.
