initial release of smellatorrent

Here is the first release of my catalyst rtorrent front end. Right now it is more or less a recreation of the curses frontend in HTML. I don't plan to do too much more with it apart from bug fixes and add the ability to start new torrents (through upload or URL).

I don't see any point to a "detail" view for individual torrents. What other clients display in those views is largely information that user does not need, such as number of connected clients or graphs of completed parts.

hey your work looks great ! why don't you ask rtorrent devs for an official merge ? it could be the ultimate bittorent client with that :) furthermore could it be possible to explain how to install your web interface ? with the requirements and all that stuff ? for example i'm using rtorrent on a debian etch and i was unable to get smellatorrent working :(

Sure I'll try to make another post detailing how to set this up on Debian. Unfortunately the Debian rtorrent package does not include XMLRPC support which is required for this to work. I also found a few bugs in one of the required perl libraries if you are running this on a 64 bit system.

Anyways, keep your eyes out for a write-up soon.

Yeah, some sort of install instructions would be really cool. I love the idea and will keep a lookout for future updates.
Have you considered putting this on CPAN? Perhaps as Net::Bittorrent::SmellaTorrent.

Any news about a installation instruction? i really would like 1 :).

Maybe you can work with rtgui (from google code)?
