[2.2.6] (webui): CPU-hogging filelist

Asked by cd

Browser uses max CPU when browsing the filelist of a torrent containing a larger amount of files.
Firefox stalls completely at >80. Opera doesn't stall completely, but is still unusable.

qBittorrent is brilliant, but the WebUI really lacks file-management. I.e. Check all / Uncheck all files and the ability to multi-select files from the list.
As it stands, the WebUI is useless when extensively downloading partial torrents.

I've searched the bug-list/web, but could not find anyone with a similar problem. Is there a known solution to the CPU-problem, and will the file-hanlding be imporved within the foreseeable future?

Yes, I'm aware of this issue. The Web UI is not as usable as it should.

I will try to improve it. Working on the Web UI is simply time consuming for me and I don't have much free time at the moment.
This is on the top of my TODO list though.

Thanks for such a swift response!

First, I must say that qBT is brilliant in many ways; the source and documentation is thoroughly done, and was the easiest and most enjoyable to build. It's simple, but got most of the functionality you expect. Except from the obvious webui-issue, though, I couldn't get it to move my downloads after completion, but it's not too critical.

I've tried out all the different solutions out there that supports a webui, and I can't help but to slightly facepalm at the situation, as every alternative has it's annoying little flaws, that render it too annoying or inefficient for my use.

I've tried all of the top, avaliable alternatives. And what strikes me, slightly paradoxical perhaps – is that every alternative has one really well-working feature that none other has. All the clients combined, would really make the ultimate platform.

I suppose all these years with uTorrent - which really is what most try to live up to – has made me expect too much.I'm almost tempted to set up a cheap Win2k3-server dedicated to filesharing.

When I sum up all the alternatives to headless webui-torrenting, though, this is by far the most tidy and stable, server-wise. There is huge potential to qBT, and I shall monitor it's progress excitingly over the following months.

Keep up the good work! :)
