13 I'm happy with Ktorrent.  I just want to figure out why it is using so
14 much memory.  I did look at qbittorrent tho, screenshots anyway.  It
15 seems to work the same way and even looks the same as Ktorrent.  Given I
16 have Ktorrent already set up and a lengthy list of files for it to
17 download, I'm not really wanting to switch.  If I can't figure out the
18 memory leak or it gets worse, I may have to switch later on.

20 Question just in case I do have to switch.  I click on links in Firefox
21 to download torrents.  Right now it opens the files/imports/whatever to
22 Ktorrent.  Can I do the same with qbittorrent?  From the looks of it, I
23 suspect it works that way, and suspect other GUI software does as well.

25 Thanks.
