I2PSnark standalone – modified user edition

Post by lgillis »

This is a complete package as source and binaries replacing the mainline i2psnark implementation. It solves many quirks and annoyances I have come across in the past years. I am sure, some improvements will soon be picked up by others. In case this does not happen, I will maintain this mod for some time to come.

Features:
- Web UI is shortened by around 20% data volume (a bit shorter text and compressed graphics), improving remote access
- All data volumes now in decimal and shortened for better readability (i.e. "1 MB" as opposed to "977 KiB" before)
- Time remaining is displayed reliably and does not jump around any longer
- zero values suppressed
- progress bar mouseover now compatible with peer progress
- upload ratio correct from torrent start. Required a full download before.
- All items shown as ratios or percentage shortened by one digit for better readability
- All items rounded properly, no more cutoffs.
- Web UI ist no longer opened in a new browser tab upon start. In the special cases where this worked correctly before, the user usually had the UI already open.
- Autostart logic is reversed. If Autostart is set in the configuration, all torrents are started when Snark is started. On many platforms users have no systray icon available for shutdown. They have to stop all torrents to get metadata properly written to disk before killing the process from the OS level, rendering previous autostart useless.
- Removes a one minute startup delay
