ikatson/rqbit v9.0.0-beta.2 on GitHub

There were lots of changes and improvements since beta.1.

UI refactor and compact view

The UI was refactored and improved significantly. The old card view is still there, but on wider screens opens the compact layout by default.

Search bar to filter torrents by name
Status filter (all, downloading, seeding, paused, error)
Sortable columns (name, size, progress, speed, ETA)
Keyboard navigation (arrow keys, Enter to select)
Resizable detail pane with tabs for Overview, Files, Peers
Per-piece visualization showing download progress
Virtualization via react-virtuoso for handling 1000+ torrents smoothly

Here's how it looks on a mobile phone
