# Fragments

An easy to use BitTorrent client. Fragments can be used to transfer files via the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol, such as videos, music or installation images for Linux distributions.
## Getting in Touch
If you have any questions regarding the use or development of Fragments,
want to discuss design or simply hang out, please join us on our [#fragments:gnome.org](https://matrix.to/#/#fragments:gnome.org) matrix room.
## Installation
The recommended way of installing Fragments is using the Flatpak package. If you don't have Flatpak installed yet, you can get it from [here](https://flatpak.org/setup/). You can install stable builds of Fragments from Flathub by using this command:
`flatpak install https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/de.haeckerfelix.Fragments.flatpakref`
Or by clicking this button:

#### Nightly Builds
Development builds of Fragments are available from the `gnome-nightly` Flatpak repository:
```
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists gnome-nightly https://nightly.gnome.org/gnome-nightly.flatpakrepo
flatpak install gnome-nightly de.haeckerfelix.Fragments.Devel
```
## FAQ
- **What BitTorrent engine does Fragments use?**
Fragments is built on top of [Transmission](https://transmissionbt.com/), and thus supports more or less all the features that Transmission also supports. Fragments can also be used to control other remote Transmission instances.
- **How I can get debug information?**
Run Fragments using `RUST_BACKTRACE=1 RUST_LOG=fragments=debug flatpak run de.haeckerfelix.Fragments` (`.Devel`).
- **Why does Fragments take so long to start?**
When starting, Fragments tries to set up automatic port sharing (using UPNP/NAT-PMP). With some networks/gateways this takes longer or fails completely (timeout). If this is the case, you can disable automatic port forwarding feature in the preferences. Fragments should then start much faster.
