[...] Except for the Mac OS X application, there are no binary distributions from the project. Each Linux distribution makes binaries available using their usual distribution methods. For Windows there are no distributions so far, except perhaps the one I’ve been making available through links on the Transmission forum. [...] This little project is a continuation of the forum thread, a place to distribute new builds, and in the future a point of departure to explore new builds… a 64-bit build perhaps, another one with new (experimental) features and fixes (before we propose them as enhancements on Transmission’s Trac Wiki, which is what I have done with the Windows port patches).
Download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/trqtw/.
I didn't manage to (Uni)extract the installer with my current Universal Extractor (should someone else meet with success, please report...), so I ran it taking care to note the installation folder and unselecting the "run application" option at the end.
After copying that folder elsewhere and deleting 'uninstall.exe' from it, I ran the uninstaller from the source folder.
After that, Primo reported leftovers at:
Code: Select all
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Trolltech\OrganizationDefaults ; empty key
C:\Program Files\InstallJammer Registry ; two sub-folder, one with an executable inside
%APPDATA%\transmission ; settings generated from a run of the installed version
I also found that, in accordance to the mainstream Transmission wiki (located @ http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/), the contents of its configuration folder is:
- 2 files -- 'settings.json', 'stats.json'; and
- 3 sub-folders -- 'torrents', 'resume', and 'blocklists'.
'settings.json' is a plain text file (a documented format) holding most of the application's configuration options, including paths.
Also, when run with that '-g' parameter, Transmission-Qt placed its 'Downloads' folder inside the user's 'My Documents' location by default...
EDIT: Softpedia's entry is currently outdated and Gizmo reports it as non-portable...
