Public bug reported: Running 12.04 on several client machines (using KTorrent 4.1.3) it is found that KTorrent is simply not useable. For example, magnet links simply do not work (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302997). IP blocklists do not work. And finally, there is a bug (now fixed) where KTorrent can only pick up one tracker no matter how many are packaged with the torrent file, which often results in torrents simply never being downloaded.
For summary, see :https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?product=ktorrent&component=general&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_severity=major Also, here is the KTorrent changelog since the release of 4.1.3 for reference: http://paste.kde.org/phkxwjhhc ...Too many fixes to ignore, IMHO, for a product shipped as part of base install. 4.3.1 is the "current" stable release, two major versions after 4.1.3, which was released in November 2011 (see: http://ktorrent.pwsp.net/?q=node/52). ** Affects: ktorrent (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284745 Title: Ktorrent and libktorrent need upgraded to 4.3.1 for all supported platforms because of bug fixes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ktorrent/+bug/1284745/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
