Sparkle VS qBittorrent

* i use appimagelauncher[1] to integrate with my menus etc but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't? i haven't really figured out the rhyme or reason

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks checking every 5 mins is a little bit excessive!

Seeing as it's macOS only is there even any reason to roll your own update mechanism when you can use the Sparkle framework [1]?

The bucket contains dmg files and an appcast.xml that allows for updates. I'm using the auto_updater package, which in turn uses the popular Sparkle library.

Our build process is automated using fastlane. That handles building and testing the app as well as signing, notarizing and uploading to Amazon S3. We distribute via a link on our website -- Callisto. Updates are handled using Sparkle. We have a custom built appcast generator as part of our website that reads the S3 bucket and builds the feed that Sparkle uses.

Something like Sparkle but for Node.

Not really. qBittorent is built on Qt (thus the prefix), and has a hand-rolled webui in pure html + css + js (with a couple of helper libraries, but no heavy frameworks):

Use this. Just google how to on ytube.

Now if curious about installing errors and other installer related issues, then here's a small collection: https://www.reddit.com/r/qBittorrent/s/cwCUg9JHLj https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/discussions/17581 https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/17605 https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/18340 https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/19980 https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/18636 https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/19226 https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/19991 https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/19978 https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/19977

I’ve used qbittorrent for the last few years. Had no problems with it

Torrenting clients - qBittorrent still supports Win7 if you select the qt5 variant. For people that do not know what qBittorrent is - it is uTorrent, just without bloatware, ads, malware and such. It's open-source. UPDATE: it dropped Win7 support in October. ;_; (quick, somebody make a fork! https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/ ) - here's the last downloadable Win7 version - https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent-old.html?dwl=qbittorrent_4.5.5_lt20_qt5_x64_setup.exe (but hey, I'm still downloading torrents fine in under WinXP 32-bit via the ancient uTorrent 2.2.1, so this version of qBittorrent might last for 10+ years for Win7...)

.........What download manager are you using there? Whatever it is, stop and uninstall it like yesterday. Get this https://www.qbittorrent.org/ and try again.

qBittorrent announces Tailscale IPs that are practically never connectable. I believe it's a bug so I reported it to qBit.
