QQDownload(QQ旋风, which means “QQ tornado”) is a download manager and bittorrent client developed by Tencent Holdings Ltd.
Comparing with its main competitor, Xunlei, QQDownload is more easier to handle by wine.
Here is a tutorial for running QQDownload 4.8 Beta using wine:
Create a new 32-bit wineprefix
export WINEARCH=win32
export WINEPREFIX=somewhere winetricksIf wine ask you to install
gecko
andmono
plugins, permit it.- Install
windowscodecs
to your wineprefix usingwinetricks
GUI. - Then install
riched20
,riched30
andwininet
to your wineprefix usingwinetricks
GUI. - Finally you need a Chinese font for all charactors. The
fakeChinese
inwinetricks
is a good choice. - Have fun! You may need a desktop launcher.
PS
if you have permission to use the Tencent offline downloading,
such as VIP account or gained LV8 in QQDownload, I recommend you to try out another python script, xfdown.
Xfdown now has a awesome Tui with color support, wow.
