At some point, I installed cksfv for some reason. The speed difference is incredible! cksfv beats cfv hands down (at least for SFVing). [this testing was done 2+ years ago]
Still, .torrent hashing is a pretty killer feature that I didn’t know about – maybe it’s newer than my experience

Amarok is housed at amarok.kde.org – therefore it’s part of KDE from my point of view.
I doubt it’s anything like a 32/64-bit issue. I run 64-bit multilib and my machines are kept very clean in terms of maintenance (I always run both depclean and revdep-rebuild as part of my world updates, and my world file is kept perfect in terms of top-level contents. I don’t run any strange CFLAGS / LDFLAGS). KDE 3.5 works perfectly without any crashes.
@ Denis
Yes, KDE 3.5.10 currently exists and is supported, but for how much longer? It will one day (possibly fairly soon) become unsupported, and when that happens I want a usable replacement that is equivalent in terms of functionality.
Why do I use KDE? I’ve tried other desktop environments and just never got along with any of them. KDE 3.5 is perfect for my needs. I want KDE 4 to be the same when KDE 3 becomes unsupported.
Beyond the fact that this is my blog and part of its purpose is to be a place for me to rant, I have to disagree with about rants not helping to improve products. I’m voicing what I think is wrong with the products and what I want changed. If no one did this, the developers would continue to think that all is right with the world. If lots of people do this, and the developers have half a brain, they’ll listen and change things.
While I would love to contribute changes to improve these projects, I simply don’t have the time. The next best thing I can do, in my view, is voice my opinions and hope that someone listens.

There is still KDE 3.5.10. I’m using it. A desktop enviroment has a lot of lines of code, and it’s not that easy to please everybody wish. Why do you use a peace of software that disturb You so much? I don’t get it. That’s why I dont use Gnome. I don’t like it. I don’t use it. Point. Amarok 2. You don’t like it, change it for Amarok 1.whatever. Problem solved. With too many rants You don’t aqctually help the devs to improve a new product. The revolutionary things always has a lot of discussion around. Still, try to work with Vista interface, which needs triple graphic card to produce 3 sad efects…….

I don’t know what you’re doing wrong but I simply can’t agree. Sure there are some missing features like a proper bluetooth integration and also amarok 2 has less features than amarok 1.4. But remember the KDE team is not responsible for all KDE based apps…
I also use gentoo and I really appreciate the work of the KDE/QT team and its contibutors. Can’t remember a crash (well now I’m using latest beta and there are some crashes…) of plasma or whatever… I also use kubuntu on some machines, there I could understand your complaints as I often have some crashed but not on gentoo!!! It may be a 32/64bit issue but maybe you screw up you system elsewhere and blame now KDE as I can’t follow your arguments.
Plasma-runner should AFAIK be installed by default, you don’t have to add the plasmoid… ]]>

- Spacers between icons
But why do I have to do that? In KDE3 the space just appeared if I dropped the icon a little further away. The KDE3 method is so quick and intuitive. I can’t even see the spacer widget in KDE 4.2.4 – I wouldn’t be surprised if it got dropped because every time I tried to use it before it crashed plasma.
- Run panel widget
plasma-runner doesn’t appear when I go through the download plasmoids dialogs. I really can’t be bothered to trawl through 1000s of “this is my first attempt at programming” entries to get functionality that is standard in KDE3.
- Memory/CPU panel widget
It’s not in as standard and doesn’t appear in the download plasma widgets dialog. Again, I can’t be bothered to trawl through 1000s of “this is my first attempt at programming” entries to get functionality that is standard in KDE3.
I use Gentoo (my laptop runs CFLAGS=”-O2 -march=native”, 64-bit userland, tuxonice-2.6.28, Athlon64 3200+). I’ve tested with the same or less amount of applications and Konqueror tabs open in KDE4.2 as KDE3.5. I have cache/buffer dropping enabled on hibernate for tuxonice.

Go to the panel, unlock> Panel options > add widget > add spacer wherever you wish
– No run panel widget
kde-look.org > plasma-runner; anyway, there’s alt+F2; and btw, there’s tons of plasmoids already (check that same webpage)
– No nice small, clear memory/cpu panel widget like the KDE3’s
cpuload, and there’s others.
with regard to memory usage and crashes, which distro do you use? My experience says other different story.
