I just installed jaunty using the Pearson package (AMD64) with KDE3. I have been using hardy the past year or two. ktorrent was running when I did the new install and I am trying to figure out what files to scavenge from the hardy install to get ktorrent to resume its downloads in jaunty.

I copied over the ktorrentrc file, the /tmp files and the log files from ~/share/ktorrent before starting ktorrent. But when ktorrent starts, it balls up the existing log as a .gz file and fails to resume the incomplete downloads. :?

Any insight into this knarly problem would be greatly appreciated!

:cry:
You might be able to get away with just selecting the download directory again. Unless you're using a different version that builds the file differently, it should just pick up where it left off. No meta-data needed.

Also, on an unrelated note: My favorite feature lately has been the web interface. You can monitor your torrents remotely, load new torrents by browsing or pasting a url, and change your bandwidth on the fly.

KTorrent 3.2.4
Release date: Sept. 27, 2009

Probably the last bugfix release for the 3.2 series. Given the fact that bluetack has recently changed the format of their blocklist (and 3.2.3 didn't support this format), we have made some improvements, so that the new format is now supported.

Changelog
- Improve flexibility of IP blocklist parsing to support more formats
- Fix bug in TorrentFileListModel causing wrong checkstate to be shown
- Fix very rare crash caused by 0 pointer
- Fix bug causing scheduler to not restart the schedule timer
- Unset Qt message handler when Log is destroyed

KTorrent 4.0
Release date: May 24, 2010

KTorrent 4.0 is finally released. This release add some rather interesting features like magnet support and the µTP protocol (bittorrent over UDP).

Next to these big ones many smaller ones were also added:

Authentication can now be disabled in the webinterface (use with care obviously)
A new plugin to generate magnet URI's from torrents was added
Events like hibernating and the network going down for some time, are now handled in a better way.
Individual torrents can now be paused (downloading and uploading is stopped, but connections are kept alive), this has resulted in the pausing of the queue to be renamed to suspend.
A disk getting full is now handled in a much better way
UDP tracker scraping was added
The usability of the queue manager widget has been improved by adding search functionality, indicating whether a torrent is a seed or a download, and making it possible to move multiple torrents at the same time.
You can now add multiple trackers at the same time
The bandwidth scheduler can now be disabled temporarily
The IP filter dialog now supports IP ranges.

For a more detailed list, take a look at the ChangeLogs of ktorrent and libktorrent.

What is this I don't even? Technical stuff I don't understand.

As of version 4.0rc1 you first need to compile and install libktorrent before you do ktorrent:

tar -xvjf libktorrent-1.X.Y.tar.bz2
cd libktorrent-1.X.Y
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make
sudo make install

Compiling and installing ktorrent:

tar -xvjf ktorrent-4.X.Y.tar.bz2
cd ktorrent-4.X.Y
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make
sudo make install

You will need to install cmake and all the necessary development packages (Qt,KDE,libgmp,QCA2), to get it compiled properly.
