Shortly, it’s a website where you can listen CC-licensed albums and download them using BitTorrent or another networks. I found quite interesting albums and I decided to try gnome-btdownload for downloading them.

I found this software quite simple and nice, very much in the gnome style, but I couldn’t help to have X windows opened (one for each download/seed), mostly when X → ∞ (or at least a relatively huge number if you try to be nice and share as much as you get).

So I wanted to start hacking on this code and make it download multiple files at once in only one window and hide it in the system tray. I have finished writing my own code albeit I’ve reused all the BitTorrent part.

It’s my first whole desktop program that works and it’s an incredible feeling… I feel like the child who discovered computers years ago :)

I’ve setup a small webpage for the interested:
