What it shows

Section titled “What it shows”

Tape over the lid is the progress. The heading shows when the last download finishes, and counts every download, including ones not shown. More downloads than fit on the card page with the arrows on the belt.

  • Stalled: a download with no peers. Its tape turns amber.
  • Error: a download the client reports as failed. Its tape turns red.
  • Paused: the whole client is paused. Listed downloads turn grey and show no time left. qBittorrent reports this from 5.3. Transmission has no such pause.
  • Waiting: downloads are moving, but the client has no estimate yet.
  • All done: nothing is downloading. The heading shows how many finished today.

The widget only reads. One exception: if the Deluge web interface is not connected to a daemon and lists exactly one, the widget connects it. With several daemons listed, it shows an error instead.
