Bug#365959: O: qtorrent -- graphical BitTorrent client using Qt 3.x



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I've orphaned the qtorrent package on behalf of myself (co-maintainer,
sponsor) and the current (inactive, non-DD) maintainer.

The program works well enough, and has no RC bugs, but has a slow and/or
dead upstream, and I believe is somewhat obsoleted by ktorrent, which
provides very similar functionality with just a few more dependencies.

This package does have a fairly good size install-based according to
popcon, so I don't recommend immediately removing it. I've fixed it up
(I think) pretty good before orphaning.

The package description is:
 QTorrent is a PyQt-based client for the popular BitTorrent
 software known for allowing users to distribute content without
 massive bandwidth usage.
