Keka VS Transmission

Keka isn't open source. It's not even source-available! https://github.com/aonez/Keka/blob/fb4292000cf946e6a022d0281...

> The source code of Keka 1.0 will not be public due some legal issues. Legal support is needed, if you can help the project, please get in contact on [email protected] or the Project page on the official Keka website. Any help is welcome.

While not identical in functionality, I highly recommend Keka: https://www.keka.io

Keka - Price: Free File archiver for macOS that supports many file formats, including ZIP, RAR, and 7-Zip.

Since RAR decompression is listed, I'll assume you mean compression:

https://github.com/aonez/Keka/wiki/Rar-compression

Sounds like it is a licensing issue more than anything? People still compress to RAR?

Step 3: Right click the duplicated EXE and click Open With> and select the extraction program of your choice. If you do not have one, I recommend Keka, which can be downloaded here https://github.com/aonez/Keka/releases/latest for free or purchased on the Mac App store if you would like to support the developer (https://mas.keka.io/)

Or course it may not be what you wanted, since you may download RAR files other than videos; and you may want to change the default application to RAR utilities, such as The Unarchiver or Keka.

- In an app called Keka: https://github.com/aonez/Keka/issues/1177

Keka is an awesome unarchiver

Textual¹ is open-source but sells the precompiled app. Keka² has the app available for free on GitHub but charges for it on the Mac App Store, to support development.

¹ IRC client for macOS: https://github.com/Codeux-Software/Textual

² Un/archiver for macOS: https://github.com/aonez/Keka

Keka is a really good archive tool on macOS

Why bake libtransmission into the app instead of just using the transmission daemon's RPC?

What you've done actually makes it harder to use, because in order to configure any of transmission's settings (ports, connection/torrent connection limits, bandwith limits, etc) the user needs to dig around to find the transmission config folder and then manually edit JSON with a text editor - because your client doesn't expose any of transmissions numerous settings [1] to the user except for choosing the download folder.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to use this instead of Flood [2] or even old Transmission Web Control [3]

Grab this file. Install Transmission on Mac or Deluge on Win. Optional: run a VPN if you're in the US(mostly) and worried about your ISP sending you a cease-and-desist notice. Open the file using the app you installed. Wait. It should start within a minute or two and download progress will be seen. Speed depends on how many people are sharing it. Any issues, let me know.

Why "NO TORRENT"? Just get TransmissionBT and torrent whatever you want

Its intresting you mention that, before reading your reply I went and created a post in the Q n A section, asking for help about this very thing and I linked to the same GitHub issue you linked to here. I have yet to get a reply lol.here

transmission can run as a headless server with a web gui

Get a VPN like Windscribe(set windscribe firewall to on instead of auto), forward your port via their website. Use a good torrent client like https://transmissionbt.com/ set that port in the options, and add a blocklist https://github.com/Naunter/BT\_BlockLists/raw/master/bt\_blocklists.gz
