## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

Mabel is a terminal BitTorrent client with full and mini TUI modes, built on Go terminal-interface and torrent libraries.

### Projektgeschichte

The repository was created in 2021, and the first tagged public release, v0.1.0, was published in June 2022. The README says the name comes from the Hebrew word for flood or deluge, loosely tied to torrenting.

Early releases added pieces expected of a terminal client: encrypted-peer requirements, configurable key bindings, kebab-case config keys, HTTP(S) `.torrent` support, a desktop file, and a borderless option.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

Mabel is a niche terminal client rather than a mainstream BitTorrent engine, but it has visible package-manager adoption: the supplied facts list Homebrew and MacPorts, and the upstream README documents both `go install` and Homebrew installation.

The repository has hundreds of GitHub stars, which is meaningful for a small TUI torrent client aimed at users who prefer keyboard-driven terminal workflows.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Users run `mabel [OPTIONS] [TORRENT]...`. With no arguments it opens the full TUI; with one infohash, magnet link, or `.torrent` file it opens mini mode; with multiple torrents it opens the full client with those torrents added.

The README documents TOML configuration at `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mabel/config.toml`, including download directory, port, logging, encryption behavior, theme choices, and key remapping.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Mabel is package-nerd interesting as a modern Go TUI application that packages a BitTorrent engine and terminal UI as a single command with optional desktop integration.

Its XDG config/state behavior and Homebrew install path make it a cleaner fit for package managers than ad hoc terminal torrent scripts.
