Possible Questions

Q: How can I update when a new version is released?

A: Each time a new version is released, I will create a post/reply on this thread. To update on Windows, run the installer of the new version, and on macOS or Linux, you just replace the old executable with the new one. Your preferences will be kept.

Q: I found a bug, where do I report it?

A: You can report bugs by leaving a comment on this thread. Please make sure to include info such as: operating system, GUU version and how the bug was discovered

Q: How do I connect qBitTorrent with GUU?

A: First you need to open qBitTorrent and go to Preferences. Then select Web UI and tick on the box that says "Web User Interface (Remote control)". On the Authentication field, check "Bypass authentication for clients on localhost" and then Apply the changes. Now when you launch GUU (or you refresh the status), qBitTorrent should be connected.

Q: Why did you make this?

A: I created GUU because I wanted an easy way to upload torrents to the site since I always had issues using QTM (plus it is created for Windows only and I have moved away from it). Also I use qBitTorrent, because uTorrent is bloated and the old versions do not work for me.

Q: Didn't this already exist before?

A: Yes! The project was originally created in 2022 and written in Python. Although back then I had very little programming experience and the program wasn't very well coded, so I decided now to rewrite it completely in C++ and make it more stable and seamless.

@ianfontinell-0 Hi! Thanks for lettings me know, I wasn't aware this option existed. I'll definitely have a look at this some time.
Although one I can say for sure is that this will not be more reliable than the web API, since there is direct communication with qBT, while by using the command line interface I have to make additional system calls which may produce unwanted errors. Plus I don't think it will be possible on macOS.
That being said I will still give it a try because it may be easier for users to set up.

Gaytor.rent Upload Utility (GUU) - A new way to upload your torrents

What is this?

Gaytor.rent Upload Utility is a program I created to easily create, upload and seed torrents on this website.

Features

• Automatic upload and seed
• Integration with qBitTorrent (and more clients in the future!)
• Project (template) saving and loading
• Automatic login
• Extremely configurable
• Clean and easy to understand UI
• Support for the new domain (gaytor.rent)

Why does this exist?

Here are the following reasons that drove me to create GUU:

• QTM is Windows-only | GUU is written in Python which makes it able to be run on all major operating systems
• QTM is closed-source | GUU is open-source and licensed under GPL v3, which means that anyone can make modifications or use the code for their own needs
• QTM has not been updated in 4 years and people experience bugs with QTM which are not fixed
• QTM only supports the bloatware uTorrent for automatic seeding | GUU integrates with qBitTorrent (clean and open-source)

Should I use this instead of QTM?

Yes and no. GUU is no way an official program for this website so its interaction with the latter might be limited.
Although if you use a computer that does not run Windows, or if you need the extra functionality GUU gives, then this is for you.

Disclaimer(s)

• This is not meant to be a rant about QTM, I am just trying to improve the uploading experience for me and others who might find this program useful. The site owner is aware of the existence this program.
• GUU does not use any official APIs for this website, so things might not be as stable as what QTM offers

Possible questions

Q: How can I update when a new version is released?

A: Each time a new version is released, I will create a post/reply on this thread to keep you updated. GUU does not require an installation, the entire program is stored inside a single executable, so in order to update it you just need to delete the old file and use the new one. Your preferences will be kept.

Q: I found a bug, where do I report it?

A: GUU is still a new program and it has not been tested extensively, so it is possible that you might encounter bugs. You can report them in the GitHub issues page or leave a comment on this thread. Please make sure to include info such as: operating system, GUU version and how the bug was discovered

Q: I have a feature request, where do I suggest it?

A: On GitHub issues or on this thread.

Q: How do I connect qBitTorrent with GUU?

A: First you need to open qBitTorrent and go to Preferences. Then select Web UI and tick on the box that says "Web User Interface (Remote control)". On the Authentication field, provide a password of your choice and then Apply the changes. Now on GUU, go to Preferences (Ctrl+P) and on the Client field, provide the password you just entered in qBitTorrent on the "WebUI Password" box. Click save and restart the program, the status bar should show qBitTorrent as the torrent client.

Q: Does qBitTorrent need to run on the same computer as GUU?

A: No. GUU supports remote web UI too.

@ianfontinell Thanks for reporting the issue!
It will be fixed in the next release. A post will be made here when it is released.

GayTor.rent Upload Utility v3 has been released!

Changelog:

• Fixed crash when uploading torrent

Download:

• Linux: GUU-Linux-x86_64.AppImage
• Windows: GUU-Win-x86_64.exe
• macOS: GUU-Mac-x86_64.dmg

@lololulu19 No, this is different software than QTM. Please read the first post in this thread for more info.

GayTor.rent Upload Utility v17 has been released!

Changelog

• Add option to force V1 torrent creation ( @ianfontinell-0 @PrototypA5 )

Download

• Download for Windows
• Download for macOS
• Download for Linux

@ianfontinell-0 @PrototypA5 Personally I would recommend to everyone to update their torrent software not just for the functionality but mostly due to security reasons. Although if someone strictly wants to use a client which does not support V2 for whatever reason I can of course add an option for that in the settings.

The question is, which should be the default? This should depend on what torrent clients most people here use, but I don't have such information.

@tandemblue I'll assume you are talking about GUU and not QTM. If this is related to QTM, this is not the right thread to post this.
To display the list of categories, you must be logged in. Make sure you have clicked "Log In" in the bottom right and your username appears correctly in the status box.

@ferreiro That's weird. Would it be alright if we continue this discussion in a private message so we can resolve this?

@AllThatChonk @john32123666 Also if you want you could take a look at a new tool I made (GayTor.rent Upload Utility) which automates uploading and seeding like QTM, but it works.

You can have a look here: https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/65942

@ferreiro Hi! Does the program show any error?
Also could you also send me the log file found in C:\Users\(your_user)\AppData\Roaming\guu\log.txt?
Thanks.

@dhougie Hi, you should be able to create torrents from folders noe.
What error did you get when uploading? (It would also help to provide the logs)
