Gextto — guided tour

Italiano: TOUR.it.md · Back to the README

The main screens of Gextto and of its engine, gx-torrent. Every image comes from a test instance downloading public, legal torrents (Debian, Ubuntu Server and the Blender open movies Big Buck Bunny, Sintel, Tears of Steel and Cosmos Laundromat), with a small library of a Creative Commons series and public-domain films. The images are generated with make screenshots; peer addresses are masked.

Dashboard

The session at a glance: what is downloading, the live traffic against the limit in force, what needs checking and the buttons to start a search cycle.

Dashboard

The same page with the light theme; the Theme button switches between light, dark and the system choice.

Dashboard, light theme

Downloads

The torrents of the session as cards: progress, speed, time left, peers and ratio, with the actions on each row and on the selection. Above them, the manual search across archive, indexers, web engines and eD2k.

Downloads: six torrents in progress

The Bandwidth menu says what applies now and where it comes from, and makes a temporary exception — Auto or a limit — in one click.

Settings

Every option has its description, its default and its own Save; the sections on the left follow what you want to do, and the search finds an option by name or key.

Settings

One choice for the speed rule; the rows that depend on it appear only when they matter.

gx-torrent

The page of the engine, the same daemon that runs on its own as a standalone client on Linux and Windows: filters by state and tracker, sortable columns and the transfer graph.
