Deluge
When I discovered Deluge was over the summer of 2009 since I was attempting to set up a headless torrentbox. What comes with Fedora is Transmission and the interface leaves something to be desired, especially when you have many torrents loaded all at the same time. So I started off the attempt with Transmission and quickly outgrew that then started looking for another torrent client. A few years back I used Azureus 2.5.4 headless with a web UI and found that to be excellent other than the large memory footprint that Azureus used, and still does, so I attempted that with poor results.
From the Fedora 11 repos they have Deluge 1.1.9 which is a good start but from a web interface standpoint it needed to be more dynamic and with release of 1.2.0 the web interface has become the Ajax dream I had in mind. The problem is that the Deluge 1.2.0 RPM’s for Fedora 11 have not hit the repositories yet.

Look Mom, No Controls
Oh, wait here they come
Now that looks familiar
So I had heard online that Google was working on getting a new homepage look but did not get to see it in development.
Today while browsing I visit the homepage and noticed that things did indeed fade in when the mouse is over the page. It did come as a total shock to me since it was still early but I do think it’s a nice addition.
Although the fade is really slick and keeps the page clean I wish that it would fade back out when the mouse is moved back towards the center of the page but I guess we can’t all get what we want all the time.
Personally I really like the way that it fades and think that it was a great step in the right direction for Google. It was a breath of fresh air after the 1990′s and early 2000′s that we seen Yahoo! get even more cluttered.
As a little side note I noticed that they increased the size of the font on the search area a month or so ago…. I do not like it.
So we all know that I like it, but why don’t you readers tell me what you think in the comments.
