@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.

@ianfontinell-0 Indeed, command line options for qBT would be useful.
By the way you can now connect to qBT using HTTPS if you specify it in the host field (with https://...). That being said, if qBT is running on the same computer as GUU, you do not need to use HTTPS.

@lololulu19 I am not familiar with those sites, but if they work in a similar way to GayTorrent, I guess I could make this program support those too upon request.

@ianfontinell-0 Thank you! I have also added support for uTorrent in this version (for Windows users). Although personally I use qBitTorrent because it doesn't have any ads or bloatware.

Though if you have any suggestions about the program, feel more than free to let me know!

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.

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.

GUU

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.
