Rtorrent 16 16.27-11A

Major​

• Downloads: when all of a torrent's download slots are in use and more peers are ready to send, every 30 seconds the slowest peers give their slots to the ones that wait, so a fast seedbox that comes late still gets its turn. Thanks to NA9D for the question.
• Private torrents download from as many peers at once as their peer maximum: 100, 150 or 225 on the 1, 2.5 and 10 Gbps link profiles (was 15, 25 or 50). The update moves the old numbers to the new ones and writes one line about it in the QNAP System Logs; a number you set yourself stays.

Minor​

• Network & NAT: routers inside your internet provider's network are no longer shown as a second router of yours, and the route card agrees with the port test.
• Files: the folder path stays on one line on a phone, without flicker. Tap … or press Ctrl+L to open Jump to… and type a path.

Major​

• Files › Subtitles…: OpenSubtitles.com works now (16.27-10Y shipped without its key). The package has two keys and uses them in turn; when OpenSubtitles makes one key wait or refuses it, Files asks with the other.
• Files › Subtitles…: when the day's OpenSubtitles downloads are used up, the window says so and gives the UTC time when more are allowed.

Minor​

• Phone app: the panel offers the Android app 1.2.4. It has newer AndroidX libraries and works as 1.2.3 did.

Major​

• Downloads: a downloading torrent closes the peers that keep it waiting (after 5 minutes, or 90 seconds once the download has almost stopped), so it can find peers that send. Thanks to NA9D for the report and screenshots. The same change is offered to libtorrent: rakshasa/libtorrent#1041.
• Media library: History is now Scrapers History, one list of what Movie Agent, FileBot and Game Agent did, with small Re-identify, Edit name, Re-run and Undo buttons.

Minor​

• Files › Subtitles…: NapiProjekt is asked at most once every 11 seconds, and each source gets one line under the results (what it found, nothing found, or why it refused).
• Media library: on a phone, a Scrapers History row takes three short lines.

Major​

• Trackers: the private tracker account uses the tracker's new API (v3) before the old one is retired at the end of 30 November. Saved accounts move by themselves.
• Search: that tracker's results come page by page, with Load more under the list.

Minor​

• Media library: the Library card's covers start in One row. A device where you chose Grid keeps Grid.

Major​

• LinkDrop: when a browser finds no direct path to the sender, the link page says what to try within 20 seconds: a different network, like Wi-Fi instead of mobile data, or Rtorrent 16 on a NAS (Files › Download from link…).

Minor​

• LinkDrop: a browser that opened the link over IPv6 can now connect over IPv6 too.
• LinkDrop: the agent's log counts the connection checks of a browser connection that failed.

Major​

• Files: HEIC and HEIF photos (.heic, .heif, .hif, .avif) show in every browser, not only Safari: thumbnails, tiles, folder covers, the picture viewer and quick view. The NAS draws them with libheif. HDR photos are tone-mapped.
• LinkDrop can be switched off in Settings › Files & storage. Off stops it; links you sent are unavailable until it is on again.

Minor​

• Files: the picture viewer shows the photo's own size; on a phone a pinch zooms and One to one reads "1:1".
• Moving Rtorrent 16's own files into a folder that already has files of the same names keeps those with the date added; ruTorrent's settings and the logs stay the ones in use. A folder of yours left empty by the move is removed.
• Settings: "WebUI ports" and "Mobile ports".

Major​

• Files: Retro 2, a second retro look in DOS Navigator's grey with the cyan cursor bar. Ctrl+Alt+R switches between off, Retro and Retro 2; the ⋯ menu names both.

Minor​

• Files: Retro's labels are easier to read.

Major​

• Files in the Retro look: every part of Files follows it, in the light and the dark theme, the phone's bottom bar, menus and windows included.

Minor​

• Files lists the NAS's shares as folders, not as links.

Major​

• Play, NFO and Unpack also work for a torrent that seeds from a folder outside the download folders, anywhere in /share.
• Unpack checks first that it can write to the folder, and says so plainly when it cannot.

Minor​

• LinkDrop: when a browser cannot connect, the LinkDrop log says what the connection had to work with.
• The move window's note for a folder outside the download folders now names only the trash.

Major​

• The panel opens faster: each page loads on its own, and live numbers refresh only while you can see them.
• The Dashboard no longer grows in memory while it stays open.
• Nothing jumps while a page loads: the update banner and the cards keep their place.

Minor​

• Files on a phone scrolls more smoothly.
• The Dashboard's log keeps your place while new lines arrive.
• The README and NFO window looks right when the panel opens through the QNAP address (/rtorrent16/).
• A panel left open during an update reloads itself.
• A torrent outside the download folders shows no Play or NFO button. Play does not work there. A new category moves the torrent in.
