Thanks for the kinds words. I just finished a bugfix release of the widget. It doesn’t address the error-handling issues, but I promise I’ll get to that in the next release. I might also make the entire widget the dropzone for new torrents, since others have noted that the frog is an (admittedly) arbitrary dropzone.

You have to drop the torrents one at a time. Also, the error feedback is terrible. There effectively isn’t any, it’ll just spin on “add torrent”. I reported bugs to the author. Hopefully, he’ll tune it. When it works, it is awesome.

Sorry, things have not changed but I wanted to mention how really great this little widget is. There is something called constructive criticism and I thought I would leave some of it too! I do like this widget. Perhaps if the widget doesn’t update from the drag and drop I will do it manually - it’s a mild nuisance. Hopefully it will get fixed or it could be that the performance is just slow on this initial release.

As a test I have dragged and dropped 12 torrent files on to the widget. So far 15 minutes have passed and nothing seems to be updated.
