@anthony-joal - JOAL starts torrents automatically whenever i open the app. Can you add start/stop buttons for torrents? there is no way to start/stop the individual torrents in joal. Also it would be nice if we could set different speed ranges for different torrents.
Unfortunately i don't think i'll add these to JOAL. I plan to add an explorer to allow put back in seed torrent that have been deleted (this may act as the individual start/stop).
But i'm sure that i won't add a per torrent speed settings, the auto dispatch based on seed/lech is way better for 99% of joal users; and the result is much more natural on the tracker side.
JOAL is not meant to be used as a burst ratio boost solution, it's better to let it run as long as possible with low speeds
the actual version of JOAL is safe to use? I'm using ratio master + because I can check all settings in right place, I don't wanna screw so there's conditions where is better to not use it? I mean for hard scripted tracker or no safe for some situation. I think the start and stop torrent is important in case you accidently open the program and you're on with wrong ip, some tracker are really annoying for this ip adress thing. And with more different tracker for torrent is a safe choice to pick which torrent need to be started and which not
I consider joal client emulation to be at least "as safe as" mRatio and RatioMaster+.
If you know what you are doing, and you if are aware of the impact of every settings according to the BitTorrent protocol; using RM+ and playing with the settings is totaly safe and can produce betters results than JOAL. But the risk is that you change something in a way that looks good to you but produce weird results under the hood. By coding joal (and reading the god damn BitTorrents RFCs) i've learned a lot about the BT protocol and i now realize that i was a fool by playing with the settings the way i did back in the time :stupid:
When joal is started all the torrents begin to seed. But there is a stop seeding/restart seeding buton available. It acts as if you were closing your real client (stopping all the torrent at a time). But there is no per torrent start/stop option though.
To add a torrent in joal you have to do one one these actions:
- drag and drop the torrent in the joal UI
- manually add the torrent to a folder
It seems to me that if you do one of those two actions you intentionally want to seed the torrent and report fake seed to the tracker, thats why i didn't and won't add a per-torrent start/stop option.
If you want to get ride of one particular torrent you can still remove it from the web ui though.
understand so in another words this thing of start and stop is just a security thing, start and stop a torrent can be see as suspicious behavior. nice to know, :klatsch_3: I'm waiting for your new release. Can you add even fake downloads feature? It can be useful to not waste internet connection
I didn't meant that starting or stopping a client was a bad thing nor a suspicious one, i wanted t osay that joals does not offer this feature and i added that when you click on the global "stop" button, it acts as you were closing a real torrent client.
There is nothing wrong with stopping and restarting a torrent.
I'm not sure yet about the download feature, if i figure out a simple way to use it i'll add it, but i'm not convinced yet. Mostly because i dont want to open a popupthat asks for what you want to do every time you add a torrent in JOAL.
Looks awesome!
one question tho, Why does the desktop install extracts elevate.exe?
What requires elevated permissions in this?
Hello thanks :)
The elevation is required due to the way JOAL updates itself. I use an NSIS packager and the electron-updater library. Joal need to remove it's own executable, kill himself from the running tasks and relaunch himself. That's why :)
See: https://www.electron.build/configuration/nsis (packElevateHelper) for more technical informations.
hello
is it a option to seed without leechers?because joal upload only when leechers exists. for better ratio to Private trackers for example.

Just find a better torrent :happy:
Hi,
Thank you for this helpful program!
I have a question: How to know the upload size ? (like in RatioMaster)
I never tested this so far. Time is killing me. However, I need an alternative to mR since it looks inactive and it's actually the best faker around so far. The fact this one is Java, open source and up to date looks initially very interesting, thank you. Will try asap and hope to find it better than all others.
