picotorrent VS dhewm3

While the torrent client included in the owntinfoil zip is open source, the two .exe's included are not, and he's actually violating the open source license for https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent

You can look the code of PicoTorrent, is a clean and small client (based on libtorrent too) : https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent

Love Transmission but went to picotorrent a few years ago, even smaller footprint https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent

I wish some of the other BT clients took off besides the big 3 (Qbt, Deluge, Transmission and I guess rtorrent+rutorrent as well). There are some other simple BT clients out there that mimic early uTorrent GUI, one of the most notable was Hadouken, which was headless. It had a web UI that's reminiscent of uTorrent 2.0.4. https://github.com/hadouken/hadouken Sadly the project seems dead, as the last official release was in 2015. There's another minimal torrent client named Picotorrent available for Windows https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent, but I am not sure how well this works on heavy libraries, and I doubt many private trackers allow it because it's so niche. Another client I used to use back in the day was Halite, but that also died in 2015.

Not really true - v0.20 of PicoTorrent [1] was released the same day as libtorrent released support for v2 torrents. I think this predates BiglyBT 2.5 with v2 [2] support with about two weeks.

Picotorrent which I have never personally used but which I have heard good things about: https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent

A new windows client built on C++, picotorrent

The installation is different from what you might be used to from your typical mod. Download dhewm3_1.5.2_win32.zip from the githup page, unzip it, then copy, as instructed by the WHAT_TO_DO.txt files in the base and d3xp directories of the unzipped mod the .pk4 files from the game directory over (d3xp is only there if you installed the Resurrection of Evil add-on first). You can then uninstall the game from Steam.

I played through it with dhewm3 recently. Really enjoyed it.

There is a source port of Doom 3 if you want to play it on Linux or macOS.

if you are going to play it on PC, then get the original 2004 release, with the dhewm3 source port since it can get to widescreen easily and is friendlier on modern devices.

Why do you want to run old, buggy code through wine when you could use native dhewm3 to play the original (non-BFG) version of doom3 with Bugfixes, OpenAL audio and proper widescreen support? https://dhewm3.org/

for me go for the original Doom 3 + dhewm3 source port since the source port can get to widescreen easily and is friendlier on modern devices. BFG Edition aint that bad but its very easy and lacking other content that the original Doom 3 had (especially ROE) and it has less enemy count.
