I still don't see the point of a case-sensitive file system.

Luigi Thirty posted:I think the best thing to do would be to convert them to AIFF, normalize and concatenate, then convert the finished product back to MP3. That way you're working with straight audio streams and not trying to stick 30 different formats of MP3 together. This turned out to do the trick, thanks. I converted them all to AAC in an m4a container, concatenated and reduced the bitrate and now I've got a single tight m4a that saves me 100mb and sounds just as good! Now I just have to learn to script that so that I don't have to look this poo poo up every time...

Transmit 5 was just released. $35 for the next week or so.

*grumble* I wasn't planning on spending 35 USD today but the last major release was so long ago... The UI is a little nicer but outside of the Panic Sync feature, I'm not seeing much new here for people who only use FTP/SFTP/S3. Other cloud storage support is nice, I guess.

Is there any must-have with Transmit that I should stop using Forklift?

My years long strategy of looking at Transmit every few months and going 'ehh I don't need this enough to buy an old version' has paid off! While I was at it I also bought the Little Snitch upgrade, really liking the new UI.

Shaocaholica posted:Lol Adobe. Also, the Logitech mouse software on Mac has a neat bug that causes all the images to not appear until you fix the case of 2 folders. I had the opposite problem on Windows: I turned on case-sensitive names in the kernel, and some Win32 program somehow started creating folders with the wrong case, which causes Explorer to go crazy. Win32 programs shouldn't be able to do that.

Shaocaholica posted:If it doesn't matter, why did you type that post with upper and lower case? Why bother with case in written language and coding standards? Case insensitive != caseless, dude. Using case to improve readability (as an indicator for the beginnings of sentences), mark out certain word types (proper nouns) or for some GODDAMN EMPHASIS is entirely orthogonal to the concept of distinguishing multiple different files only by case differences (porn.jpg and Porn.jpg and porn.JPG residing in the same folder).

All the good torrent clients look like garbage piles now though. I switched from deluge to qbittorrent and it's ok, I guess.

Transmission works pretty well for me. I rarely use it on my Mac anymore though, I have a Linux server on my network handling all of my downloading and plex server duties. Transit though, an ftp/sftp/scp/file transfer client is great. I used to use CuteFTP until transmit came along.

Yeah looking awful is kind of part and parcel of it, but there's so much wrong with Deluge I couldn't deal with it after about a week. Qbittorrent definitely better and use it on my PC. For Mac, I've gone back to Transmission just because it's so much better at handling things, even with its flaws.

Can anybody with the newest Transmit comment on the multithreading speeds? I've been using LFTP on *nix based systems for like a decade now and was wondering whether there was a GUI available with similar speeds.

I take it back. Having put some thought into it, it doesn't seem like a good idea for most single user folk. I still think its garbage programming though for a program to not support a case sensitive filesystem.

Utorrent 2.2.1 is great for Windows and can handles thousands of torrents with ease. No ads/malware/bitcoin miners Rtorrent w/ rtorrent for Linux, tons of configuration options and can also handle thousands of torrents Deluge performs well in initial swarms, usually beating other clients with comparable specs, connection speed and location. Downside is that is that it starts to become unusable past the 1,000 torrent mark. Transmission runs well on a NAS or macOS, lightweight and great for long term seeding.

I used to use uTorrent on PC before getting a NAS. If you search online, there's a bunch of "advanced settings" you can change that disable the ads. http://lifehacker.com/disable-ads-in-utorrent-via-settings-826283231 quote:To turn off ads and offers, open Options > Preferences > Advanced. Here you'll find a large list of flags for the app and a filter box. Search for and disable the following flags:
