# Ktorrent

From ArchWiki

KTorrent is the BitTorrent client for KDE. Note that ktorrent does not support local peer discovery.

## Installation

Install ktorrent package.

## Troubleshooting

### Unable to see some bottom panel tools

To be able to show any information about the files, seeders, leechers and the current trackers, install the optional dependency geoip. It is advised to enable DHT inside the Settings to avoid slow speeds and low amount of seeders.

## Script to manage it in command line

Since KTorrent is a GUI only application, it fortunately has a DBUS interface, so you can use scripts to manage it in command line (i.e. from SSH). See the following linuxquestions forum answer for details.
