Installer 5,55MB, installed size: 20,6MB. That's not pico, more like mili- or centi- as compared to uTorrent.
For comparison, another open source bit-torrent client Halite (https://github.com/Eoinocal/Halite https://github.com/Eoinocal/Halite) weighs at 2,34MB (installer) and 12MB installed.
Installer didn't even ask where I want to install it and did not display any success message, informing about successful installation. Needs more install options for power users. Also portable (zip) version would be a big plus.
More comments more, maybe, because PicoTorrent fails to work in Sandboxie.
- viktorelofsson 11y agoHi, the reason PicoTorrent is 20MB installed is that we ship the PDB file in the installer. In the future, the PDB file will be optional. The actual executable is around 5,5MB. We ship the PDB file with the installer to help with issues now in the beginning - to print stack traces (with symbol names) if it crashes, etc. The installer will receive a nice update with a user interface in the next version. Thanks for the input! :) Ninja Edit: I'll take a look at fixing whatever is making PicoTorrent not work in Sandboxie.
- butz 11y agoThanks for explanation. I sure hope final release will be really "pico" :D I'll try to test it out some more over the weekend on a real OS, not sandbox.
