That is completly normal, it comes from the fact that you bought a Mac.
Everyone make mistakes i won't judge you :biggrin:
Since Apple are dickhead with developpers you can't benefit from autoupdates. And you'll need to check for updates manualy once in a while. Otherwise it will cost me a shit ton of money each years to obtain a meaningless Apple approved certificate.
I deliberately left your previous one because it had some more details, so don't worry about that.
Mac is good... Linux is good... but when it comes to everyday desktop usage I don't have plans to leave Windows any time soon, even if Stallman wouldn't approve.
Any chance of qBittorrent/4.3.1 emulation?
Also can anyone have some quick tutorial how to run Joal version on raspberry?
It's already there? :unsure:

See https://github.com/anthonyraymond/joal#getting-started; it seems Docker is the easiest route here.Quote:

Hello :) indeed the file was there but i haven't published he release, it's on the way ATM (building resources in CI pipelines).
If you want faster client updates you can download client file individually from the link anon sent you and manually add them to your "config/clients" folder.
Hello Anthony-Joal,
I just want to ask if is it safe to just download a torrent file on a private tracker site, and directly put it on joal.
I ask this question because I don't know how ratio is really calculated.
In other words, do I have to download the file liked to the torrent file before seed it with Joal ?
Hello fanielle,
Well, that's an arguable point. I always seed torrents that i have downloaded previously to stay on the safe side, but it's not "mandatory".
A little lexical recap before diving to the answer:
- Seeding, it's the action of sending the file(s) describe by a .torrent file, to other users on the network.
To seed the content of the torrent you MUST have a part (or the whole) file on your hard drive disk obviously, because you need to send the bytes that constitutes the file(s).
Which means that you have most likely downloaded the file first, but there are other ways to get your hands on the file, you may have had it from one of your friend though a USB stick or whatever, or downloaded somewhere else. But this is kinda tricky because you would need to:
- Get your hand on the exact same file (every bytes NEEDS to be the same, no place for any modifications or whatever)
- Download the associated .torrent file from the tracker
- Add the torrent and point the download folder to the already existing files
- Then your client will start to seed
So in theory it's not a "mandatory" to download before seed. But i still strongly advice to do so, because most of the people won't be able to explain why this could happen if they somehow get caught.
A torrent's ratio is the amount of upload you've made on a torrent divided by how much data you have downloaded from it. If the latter is 0, ratio is commonly displayed as "infinity", although in that case some clients and trackers equate the download to the torrent's size, so that the "ratio" instead indicates how many full copies of the torrent you have uploaded.
As for the rest, Anthony gave a good summary, the "exact same file... every byte needs to be the same" part being most important. Most warez scene releases will qualify, while exclusives and packs don't (packs are also bad for cheating due to partial seeders, but that's a different matter).
Oh thx so much for the quick and reactive response. It's a really great soft that you make !! really good job !!
I install joal on a raspberrypi and evrything seems to work.
But, I'm now in front on a problem : as I want to be protected, I've install a vpn on the pi.
I follow the official guide :
https://support.nordvpn.com/Connecti...Linux-Mint.htm
But now, it's impossible to use the webui to reach the pi...
am I do something wrong ?
Thx in advance !!
I'm affraid that this kind of network related thing are out of my knowledge. We are working on JOAL V3 ATM wich will include example how to setup a VPN (with docker) to redirect the joal traffic trough a VPN without havign your whole system running through the VPN.
But so far there is no such example even if i'm still doing something pretty similar.
Maybe your issue has something to do with the nordvpn whitelist add port but i'm not sure at all
NordVPN sells itself as a P2P-friendly service, but infamously doesn't support port forwarding. You'll have to either use a localhost tunnel or find a better VPN.
