ktorrent 2.1 that comes installed in (k)ubuntu 7.04 crashes like mad. Like every half and hour or so in my PC. I upgraded it to version 2.2.1, the latest, so far it works very well. It flies.

Damn right, I nearly fainted. The dizzy spell continues until today, even after a week of using it. Let's recount the hiccups I get:

- Adept Package Manager fumbles whenever an update package fails to download completely. There are times when you just have to use the console, login as root and manually delete partially downloaded installation file. Thanks to Streamyx, that adds to the problem.

- downloaded some avi's? can't play it out-of-box, have to install some 'restricted' codecs. RMVB? I get video, no audio. Fixed it by manually editing configuration file. My next problem yet to solve, can't play x264 mpeg4 files.

- if you've got a USB external HDD formatted in NTFS, gotta install ntfs support package.

- powering off PC, sometimes can sometimes cannot.

Many more tiny tiny annoying stuff. If not for the speed I get in KTorrent, and the peace of mind of not worrying about malwares, I dunno how I could tolerate.
