By using MX Package Installer

Go to the 'MX Test Repo' tab and search for 'qbittorrent'

The version in the Test Repo is 4.6.3 whereas the one in the Main Repo is 4.5.3

1. a gear icon with reduced context menu in Taskchanger/Windows Buttons panel's area isn't because an app is from our repo or not
2. applications out of our repo (when opened of course) prefer put their icons in notifications panel's area(i.e. bottom) instead of Taskchanger/Windows Buttons panel's area(i.e. up) whereas apps from our repo prefer the other way around

According to the official qBittorrent forum, the enhanced version one is a fork of qBittorrent, aimed at the Chinese/Eastern market.

Unless specifically needed, it is suggested is stick with the main version.

It seems to extract the appimage's icon which then will be accessible in the 'all icons' list. Of the 19 different appimages I keep, only losslesscut and avidemux did not integrate. Avidemux gives me a gear icon when opened, and losslesscut straight up has a question mark. I used this back in 2020 but gave up as I was still new with MX. But after seeing it actually does do what it says, for the most part, I am definitely keeping and using it. The only thing I had to do was repoint all the appimage files to their newly renamed ones and repoint them to their new icons which appimagelauncher extracted. Most of the icons I was using I actually no longer need which is great. Better to have them extracted and usable than hunt them down or 'make' them.

The enhanced qbittorrent is not aimed at the chinese market specifically. It simply adds trackers, if you wish, from a downloadable list, and has options to autoban unknown peers from china (seeing as they have lots of information repression going on), and can autoban bittorrent media player peers, among other things. The fact it can ban chinese peers is a security option because of the repression that country has. It's an option only and is not on by default. hence the word 'enhanced'

The various menu editing abilities and the way in which linux itself works is something I am not an expert in by any means. I kinda miss Windows simple ability to create an ini file that solved any icon issues. Too bad linux isn't as simple.

You can create a torrent from anything on your system and then share it with anyone you want by giving them the .torrent file with you as the seeder.

Iplist filtering is like an adblocker but for ip addressing instead-kinda like blocking a caller you don't care to share with.

The project may be without activity but synaptic in MX 21.3 xfce had updates for it. It works.

....
Fluxgui is without activity but I'm using it right now, with redshift of course, and I've been using it since I first started using MX over 2+ years ago. If something works just because the OS gets regular updates doesn't necessarily mean it breaks the ap. With fluxgui you just have to install it manually and then add redshift to the mix, apparently gone in MX23. I still remember the pair of redwing boots in my parents closet that at first were gigantic. I grew into them and they still worked fine. Never actually wore them but the memory is fun.
