    Remove KTorrent?

    What is KTorrent and why is it now showing up on my desktop when I turn on my computer?
    Can I uninstall it without troubles to my system?

    Package: ktorrent (5.1.0-2) [universe]

    See https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/ktorrent

    Safe to remove if you don't want/will not use.
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

      I've never been aware of it until appeared the other day on my desktop.
      At least I was not aware of using it.
      That's what I am always worried about, is that it was part of something that my computer used behind the scenes and I was not aware of it.
      I guess I can always reinstall it.

        What is KTorrent?
        KTorrent is the KDE Bittorrent client. Not so important these days.

        If you stumbled on a torrent seed file while browsing, ktorrent is the default file association.

        My first thought is that Kubuntu is starting what it calls a "session" when you start your computer. Check system settings, Workspace/startup and shutdown, desktop session.
