You want a cookie or something?

yes please :3

player-x are u sayign that azureus is still faster (im not sure if u were talking about faster as in just in terms of connecting to others or overall speed over time)?

in theory, your download speed is equal to the connected seeders' combined upload speed (also taking into consideration leechers already connected to the peer will stretch out bandwidth sharing between leechers). Azurues seems to connect to leechers first instead of seeders (probably because there are less people connected for uploading with the leecher, which equals higher upload speed for you) But generally, all Bittorent clients will level off to similar speeds

should i switch to this? i use bittornado atm...

it's all about personal prefrence. All bittorent clients do the same thing anyways

 

[Mad]

I just love bitspirit.
Also tried ABC, and regular bittorrent.
Never tried Azureus, due the high resource usage...

 

[Kazuya]

Can i resume one download i'm doing right now with Bitspirit after i switch to this client or i will have to wait? 3 Gb more to go....

 

[KanedA]

lol, thx for this news, I hope it's realy much better than Azureus, i tried many other clients (including ABC) and didn't like them

due to Azureus connecting to peers faster than utorrent by about a few seconds the DHT also allows you to connect to peers that are not reported by the tracker so yes, overal Azureus is faster but at least I can play Generals with utorrent

Connections are a matter of configuration. Perheps Azureus' net code is more optimized, But i still prefer less resources (ALOT less), even if it takes a minute more to connect to the peers.

DHT tracker support is planned for µTorrent v1.2 as far as i know

Kazuya Mishima: Yup, you redownload the torrent in the new client and select the partial files (or save to the same place you saved in azureus), and the client should scan the incomplete files and pick up from where azureus left. I would advise to make a copy of the files just in case something goes wrong (shouldn't really, but its a shame accidentlly ruining a few gigs of data).

Haha, I seem to have obtained a trojan from this "utorrent"

Good ol Norton blocks it every time it tries to do anything though.

 

[Mad]

Current verision of Bitspirit has DHT tracker support.

i see...whats DHT? and if i need to enable it how do i do so (im still using azureus)?

 

[WindHydra]

uTorrent is great I love these 1 file programs (although settings and download info are saved in 2 other files)... no need to make shortcuts

 

[DB7]

Well I've used Azureus and found it to be very slow and poor connecting to seeds.

Bittornado is my client of choice but I'll try out this new one, I'm always on the look out for something that will let me download easier.

You can rest asure there is no trojan in this program. Every other antivirus clears it, and several software sites have tested and verified it to be clean (try looking for it in softpedia.com for example). Norton has become a very poor AV solution, with lots of false calls.

Yea, I thought that was odd for everyone on this forum to mad praise it and me to find a Trojan the moment I open it (just opening utorrent to set it up, I wasn't even getting a torrent at the moment. I just double-clicked and BAM, worm alert.)

 

[Chrono Archangel]

well i now switched to uTorrent (was previously using ABC)
liking it so far. theres a new version out that improves the speed quite a bit.
i do recommend this to everyone.

 

[ChaosBlade]

Indeed, v1.1.2 was released a while ago.

 

[Player-X]

For me it's slower than Azureus in terms of general downloading but at least I can play some games while using it

 

[Nevermore]

I always hated installations, I'm switching from Bittornado to uTorrent

 

[VDDZ]

Gonna try this, I need something to get me away from ABC; it's been crappy to me lately.
