Tables are now sortable. If you click on the table header, it sorts the items by the column.

The Peer tab also displays the peer flags as emojis:). If you let the mouse above, a tool tip presents more details.
The tab keeps the former connections in italic, you can filter them through the mouse’s context menu.
The Piece Map tab now shows the piece map of the torrent.
New Release: version 2.0.0

- Video/Audio Stream: takes an address of Youtube or similar site and transforms the video stream into a media file.
- Magnet Link, Torrent: downloads the content of a .torrent file.

Happy New Year 2024!
Thanks to all the upgrades in 2023, 2024 looks brighter!
C++20 offers more simplification and abstraction, Qt6 offers better widgets, OpenSSL 3.0 offers better security, and LibTorrent offers better functions. ArrowDL will be improved a lot, for sure :)
New Name Announcement
As part of the continued development of the project, we are excited to announce the project will change its name to ArrowDL.
ArrowDL stands for Arrow Downloader.
We have changed the name to reflect our ambition for expansion. This is an exciting time for our team and our users. The name change represents an opportunity to do more for our users, offering a simple and user-friendly download tool, and of course gain a better visibility. The new name takes effect on January 1 of the coming new year.

Major Upgrade Announcement
During 2022, a lot of refactoring has been done.
The final phase of this refactoring was the move of the deployment process to the Github Actions. This was done yesterday!
Thus, the ArrowDL of 2023 will be better than 2022. It deserves a “version 3.x” to introduces this new era.

ArrowDL is designed to be usable by everyone including drunk people and 10 years old little guys.
It’s therefore important to us that it is usable outside the English-speaking world.
Like many other open-source projects, we are crowd-sourcing the translation effort, so if you want to help people in your community to be able to play with it in your language, please consider joining the translation effort.

Proxy Server
ArrowDL can use a proxy server now.
A proxy server sits between your computer and the internet. Acting as a bridge between ArrowDL or your web browser and internet services like websites and software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms, a proxy server can potentially make your internet more private and secure. Here’s how to set up ArrowDL so you can use a proxy server to your advantage.
