Bug 228564

Version:           3.3.2 (using KDE 4.3.5)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

I would find it preferable if I were able to see all or most of the information on one screen without having to use the horizontal scrollbar. I have a netbook (Eee PC 900), and the most important information to me during a download is the % Complete column. By default, on a display with a lower width, this does not show up until you scroll, or shrink/disable some columns. (Or one could move the column, but I'd think a lot of users don't realize you can do this.)

The way one could resolve this is by replacing some text with graphical or text symbols, especially up/down arrows. For example, a lot of space could be saved by replacing this:

Downloaded | Size | Uploaded | Down Speed | Up Speed | 

with this:

↓ | Size | ↑ | ↓ Speed | ↑ Speed |

Then space could be saved further by replacing other text:

100.00% → 100%
Download completed → Completed → ↓ Done / DL ✓
Not started → Stopped
Seeders → S
Leechers → L
Share ratio → Ratio

Also, the text arrows could instead be KDE stylized graphics instead. Either way works.

This could be implemented as an optional feature in Configure KTorrent, disabled by default, perhaps under Appearance (which doesn't yet exist).
