It has been for so long since the last official release of BTQueue, 0.1.3, and also the ongoing development in a seperate branch. As I mentioned earlier, BTQueue is moving to a new engine, BitTorrent 4.20.9. I would like to report the latest status of this branch.

On behalf of a BTQueue developer, I am glad to introduce you to a web-based BitTorrent client running on top of BTQueue called Torrent Portal.

Sorry for so long delay. It's all my fault since I am very busy due to my work. Anyway, I have been trying to upgrade core engine from BitTorrent 4.4.0 to BitTorrent 4.20.9. After getting the note, I decided to publish my unfinished work.

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/btqueue/branches/BitTorrent-4.20.9 btqueue

Don't expect too much. It is in very early stage and unusable in all case. It could just start the program and exit properly.

Since you are going to run BTQueue on Ubuntu or other Linux box, I recommend all you to use the latest version in Subversion repository. Sorry, I don't have deb package yet. If you don't have subversion, sudo apt-get install subversion to get the latest version.

One of my friend would like to set up a personal web for controlling BTQueue backend through web interface using PHPBTque. It is a good idea in case of you don't like ssh and command line. Unfortunately, he got some weird problem like "permission denied (13)". This error message was not ejected by BTQueue for sure. So where it came from is the key to fix this problem. Since the system he is running is Fedora Core 5, I guessed it should be SELinux and it is. SELinux is great in security but it is very difficult and too complicate to configure in general purpose server. Usually, I disabled SELinux in my all FC instances. By the way, other may like SELinux enough to configure SELinux for maximum security.

Since I have migrated my laptop to Ubuntu, it is necessary to prepare a new build environment for BTQueue. I would like to officially confirm that BTQueue for Windows will be continued. In addition, I upgraded to Python 2.4.3 powered by python.org. However, building BTQueue in Win32 platform is not as easy as in Linux or other platform because of its specific dependencies. So, this is a good chance to share this knowledge to whoever interesting in customizing BTQueue for personal use. Follow me.
