[Solved]kget will not load kget_bittorrent.so

I have searched and cannot find anyone else with this issue.  I am probably doing something stupid, but here goes.

I have installed kget by itself and with the kdenetwork group, in both instances it will not start torrents.

Running kget from terminal:

kget: KPluginFactory could not load the plugin: "/usr/lib/qt/plugins/kget/kget_mmsfactory.so"
kget: KPluginFactory could not load the plugin: "/usr/lib/qt/plugins/kget/kget_bittorrent.so"

ls /usr/lib/qt/plugins/kget/

total 960K
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  214 Feb 21 13:36 ./

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 102K Feb  4 06:47 kget_multisegkiofactory.so*

uname -a

Linux Dell-XPS 5.5.4-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat, 15 Feb 2020 00:36:29 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Has anyone seen this issue?

Solved myself shortly after posting.

For anyone else experiencing this:

The kget package has optional dependencies

libktorrent (optional) - torrent support
libmms (optional) - MMS support

just install those and all is well.

Glad to hear, but please pay attention to the dates and don't necrobump 4 year old [SOLVED] threads. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … bumping%22

Closing.
