Top speed boxes and updates

Just released: version 1.1.4 of Transdroid. This update foremost brings an update service that automatically checks for new versions of Transdroid or the search module. Runs on app startup or once a day. You will no longer miss out of bug fixes or new features. If you – for the last time manually – upgrade to 1.1.4 using transdroid.org/latest, you just might get a cool notification to upgrade to search module verison 1.6, which brings The Pirate Bay fixes and a brand new Demonoid adapter. Thank Gabor Tanka of the great tTorrent app for that!

Also added is native support for SeedStuff seedboxes. Get one of their great servers and you’ll enjoy a Transdroid setup process that’s as easy as giving your server and user name and your password.

SeedStuff provides affordable quality seedboxes! SeedStuff is a service company, therefore we think that customer support is our #1 priority. We put our customers above all else and try to make your experience with us as simple as possible. We allow multiple methods of contacting support so you can pick how best suits your needs!

A great choice if you’re looking for a super fast seedbox, just as the other two seedbox providers that are supported natively in Transdroid: SeedM8 and Xirvik, of which the last has received upgraded support for the new shared rTorrent servers.

Active… and improved!

Yup, Transdroid is still going strong… with a new release! Transdroid 1.1.3 can now be downloaded and brings you many, many bugfixes as well as a new active torrents view filter (both seeding and downloading), improve Transmission turtle mode, Shazam song share catching and (custom) coloured LED blinking on notifications!

Get it directly from transdroid.org/latest or view the full change log.

New release, now with tablet UI

Freshly released at the Google Code site (or directly from transdroid.org/latest). It includes a bugfix for Transmission 2.42 or newer installs, but more notably an updated interface that scales to all phones and tablet screens. There are definitely some UX issues and possibility for improvement is big, but I didn’t want to wait longer with a new release.

New Transdroid tablet UI

Also just released is a small update to the Torrent Search library (directly available at transdroid.org/latest-search) to version 1.4. It has a small improvement to get The Pirate Bay’s .torrent links over the magnet links, while they’re still available.

Let me know about bugs you find in the issue tracker, so I can fix them for a next release. Transdroid development might be slow these days, but far from dead. 😉

Techpost: Move to Mercurial

This is a quick message to all (potential) developers interested in Transdroid: the main code base, including the Android app and the Torrent Connect library, have been moved to the Mercurial source control system. This will make it much easier to fork and contribute to the project.

Get your hg tool out and: hg clone https://code.google.com/p/transdroid/

Note, too, that both the android and lib projects as well as the required external ActionBarSherlock library are now in the default repository. Want to read more about contributing to the project? Read our code contributions wiki page.
