No underlying browser available, Kubuntu 22.04
Various windows in BiglyBT show me an error saying that there is "no underlying browser available". It is the same issue shown in this Github issue and also this one, but the suggestion solutions there (which are three years old) don't work for me. I am on Kubuntu 22.04 and it seems that maybe "libwebkitgtk-3.0-0" is no longer available from Ubuntu repos?

Extremely poor upload speed
You probably know this but you can't force upload to peers - https://github.com/BiglySoftware/BiglyBT/wiki/Seeding
- Vuze ! Is the new one safe to use?

Why is QBitTorrent so worshipped? Genuinely asking from someone who has used uTorrent for a few years.
I had a longer answer, but qBittorrent is great and has a great webui/server model if you're running a separate linux box to run it in. If you're on windows, grab 4.3.9 or 4.6.2 with libtorrent 1.x. RSS stuff is nice too. Libtorrent 2.x has issues on Windows currently (read these threads if you want to know more - https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/pull/7013 - https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/6667#issuecomment-1804035311 ). Please don't bug Arvid about it though. Libtorrent 2.x gets us Bittorrent v2, which is a good thing.

Is v4.5.0 usable again? There have been connection / speed issues with v4.4.x
Latest libtorrent v1.2 branch changelog: https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/blob/RC_2_0/ChangeLog
- Unstable or zero speed and speed loops downloading with qBittorrent 4.5.0, but fast seeding; now using uTorrent for downloading

Do we have any developers willing to greatly help BitTorrent community [Interesting challenge]
You can support this feature by writing a comment in https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/7252
Where users could finally download files that were present in other swarms. This would decentralize network more, swarms with valuable files wouldn't die fast, even when updating a torrent, where info hash differs, say tv series, adding new episode, all the previous seeds of swarm could contribute bandwidth and resistance to new swarms, there were nice proposals at libtorrent project (library which many clients we know use), as f.e. not announcing that a peer has files to not overwhelm network, but announcing that he wants them.

Anyone have any experience with writing their own torrent client?
How much of it do you want to do yourself vs how much do you want to use pre-made libraries for? Many popular clients rely on libtorrent which is a C++ torrent library: https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent

Quick Sync and playing HDR on my new Win10 Plex build?
FWIW, it seems like there'll be an update to libtorrent very soon that'll address the memory issue.
