Talk:RTorrent

message: I suggest the screenshot be replaced with one that doesn't show the rtorrent tool being used for 
potentially illegal activity.  One or more of those downloads it shows is a copyrighted work.  This doesn't necessarily mean the act of downloading it is illegal, but a screenshot showing copyright-free downloads in progress avoids the whole political/legal piracy issue surrounding BitTorrent and isn't any less informative for encyclopedic purposes. Just a suggestion.  --Ds13 01:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Plain censorship; I don't think this is a good idea. What is illegal for you might not be illegal somewhere else, and in any case hiding the whole Copyright social conflict as if it didn't exist not only will not solve it but it'll do harm because it'll give a fabricated image of reality. -- Roc VallèsTalk|Hist - 17:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Censorship" is not possible here and a "fabricated image of reality" is not necessary to present a neutral image, in line with WP's goals. But your point about not biasing the article to the point of "hiding" an issue is good. Every user has different goals in mind with RTorrent, so if we think the screenshot is representative, then so be it.  --Ds13 21:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Having a screenshot that shows the user downloading some copylefted content wouldn't hurt, but sure that's a thing and replacing the screenshot just to hide the copyright conflict is an entire different one; I was tempted to do so when I saw that the image that was in the article was too big, but at the end I just gimped out the window frame and indexed the image instead.-- Roc VallèsTalk|Hist - 03:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I didn't see this talk page before I uploaded a new image containing FOSS torrents, although I did post to the talk page for the image itself.  If there is reason to discuss putting the old one back, let’s take a look at the advantages of doing so.  My feelings are that we don't need to show content that could be illegal in context.  However, I also realize that downloading media may or may not be illegal depending on jurisdiction and any applicable laws.  There hasn’t been any recent activity on this talk page, so if anyone feels that replacing the image was not appropriate please let me know and we can discuss it.  I will say that I did not replace the old image in an attempt to “hide” the copy infringement issue.  I simply feel that replacing the image with content less likely to be viewed as borderline illegal benefits Wikipedia in the long run.  Plus it’s a new version in the screenshot (0.6.4).  Newer is better, right? ;) Pekster 21:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: The screen dump

message: So that only one place needs to be updated for it to show up here, and on the list of BT Clients page. Right now it's not showing up though, even though the template for Latest Stable Release Exists, so don't know if its just a cache thing, or if I did it incorrectly, sorry for any trouble in fixing the LSR template if I did it incorrectly. ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 23:19, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changed to Frequently Updated 

message: Need to clarify how rtorrent usage differs from other clients,
perhaps improve the example usage scenario that clearly explains how its usage
differs from other torrent clients so that this article is more usefule to users
looking to understand what rtorrent is.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.195.171.80 (talk) 10:33, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
