About

D' Fake Seeder is a sophisticated Python GTK4 BitTorrent client that simulates seeding activity with advanced peer-to-peer networking capabilities, comprehensive settings management, and multi-language support. The name "D' Fake Seeder" is a playful nod to the Irish English accent, where "the" is often pronounced as "d'" - celebrating the project's Irish heritage while describing exactly what it does: simulates (fakes) torrent seeding activity. Features: - Multi-Torrent Support: Handle multiple torrents simultaneously with individual configuration - Protocol Support: Full HTTP and UDP tracker compatibility with BitTorrent protocol (BEP-003) - Peer-to-Peer Networking: Advanced P2P implementation with incoming/outgoing connection management - Real-time Monitoring: Live connection tracking and performance metrics - System Tray Integration: Full tray application with D-Bus IPC for seamless desktop integration - Internationalization: 21 languages supported with runtime language switching - GTK4 Modern UI: Clean, responsive interface with modular component architecture - Multi-Tab Settings: Organized configuration categories (General, Connection, Peer Protocol, Advanced) - Performance Tracking: Built-in automatic timing and performance monitoring
