qbittorrent was Re: [nvda] usable torrent client recommendations?

erik burggraaf <erik@...>
 

I just installed qbittorrent. Unfortunately, I didn't keep the email about how to make the transfer treeview accessible. I googled it, but only got a page full of sponsored content and forum posts about nvidia stuff. Google seems to be less now than it once was. IE, NVDA and NVidia are not the same thing, sighs.

I can use object navigation to see what's in the tree, but given hundreds of torrents, looking at each piece of info individually for each one is possibly not the most efficient way.

Thanks.

Hello everyone.

I have been using Utorrent, or Mu-torrent, as it is sometimes called. I
ended up with some build of 3.5 on this Windows 10 machine. It is not
totally unusable, but the ads have a tendency to get stuck and crash the
program. It also causes firefox to crash on a semi-regular basis. I was
even willing to “upgrade to pro”, to get rid of the ads, but clicking on
the link takes me to some silly games page, and while I’m sure it’s
possible to get to the correct page from there, I got this inexplicable
impression that the developers did not actually want me to upgrade the
software at all, since they make the path so cryptic. In short, I think
I would feel more comfortable with a different client altogether. Of
course, I am looking for one that is very configurable and which plays
nice with NVDA. Have you fine folks any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Google isn't less than it was.  I don't know what you searched for or how, nor what results might be available on the topic, but speculating about a decline in quality based on one search has no basis.

I'd have to do more checking.  perhaps, for some reason, this thread isn't known to google yet.  I did a search for the previous subject line, which was usable torrent client recommendation followed by nvda and another search for the same subject line followed by nvdagroups.io to make it more likely that archive searches would show up early in the results.  I found nothing.  but there has been no decline in Google.  I use it almost every day and I've seen no decline.

A search of the archives shows this page with lots of messages shown from this thread.  You may follow the link to the one you think might take you closest to the part you are interested in.
I haven't looked extensively but this appears to be about where you might find what you want in the thread:

You need to be very careful of torrent software it can intervene in searches by using something called conduit, which as the name suggests adds commercial content to any search you do anywhere. You need to check for this or similar with malware programs.

I just use a private tracker. No google searches here.

Anyway, by all means this thread can continue, but I got Utorrent working to my satisfaction, thanks to the suggestion about altering a whole bunch of flags, hidden deep within the settings.

There was a message from John Isige explaining this. He pointed me me to this url. Go here and follow the instructions. You will have to alter both the flags in the normal "advanced settigns" dialog as well as the hidden one, which you may have to get creative to get to. It requires a simultaneous mouse click and the pressing of shift-f2 on the keyboard. There is no other way to do it.

Huh. I am pretty sure that was the first thing I tried, and it didn't work. John also mentioned this in his message, so I wasn't surprised. But ok, try that anyway; it seems others have had different experiences.

proâ€, to get rid of the ads, but clicking on the link takes me
to some silly games page, and while I’m sure it’s possible to
get to the correct page from there, I got this inexplicable
impression that the developers did not actually want me to upgrade
the software at all, since they make the path so cryptic. In
short, I think I would feel more comfortable with a different
client altogether. Of course, I am looking for one that is very
configurable
and which plays nice with NVDA. Have you fine folks any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I suppose it depends on which version you're using. I downloaded the latest a few days ago.

Huh. I am pretty sure that was the first thing I tried, and it didn't work. John also mentioned this in his message, so I wasn't surprised. But ok, try that anyway; it seems others have had different experiences.

Actually, you are able to do it without a mouse. , I tried it Arrow down to preferences and hold down the left shift key, the f2 key, then tap enter.

suggestion about altering a whole bunch of flags, hidden deep within
the settings.

You need to be very careful of torrent
software it can intervene in searches by using something called
conduit, which as the name suggests adds commercial content to any
search you do anywhere. You need to check for this or similar with
malware programs.

I just installed qbittorrent. Unfortunately, I didn't keep the
email about how to make the transfer treeview accessible. I
googled it, but only got a page full of sponsored content and forum
posts about nvidia stuff. Google seems to be less now than it once
was. IE, NVDA and NVidia are not the same thing, sighs.

I can use object navigation to see what's in the tree, but given
hundreds of torrents, looking at each piece of info individually
for each one is possibly not the most efficient way.

Thanks.

This directive is for utorrent, not for qbittorrent.
