Yeah, you can raise the write cache a bit but usualy dont touch the delay on that. It's doable, not very recommanded though.

utorrent... I guess I'll try that one these days.
Still... After trying Bitcomet (check www.bitcomet.com), I believe it's more interesting for the hardcore "torrenter".

- Support preview video file during downloading
- Smart Disk Cache
- Doesn't require an installation package to work
- and more... Switching, anyone?

 

[ChaosBlade]

I'm assuming you're assigning these attributes to BitComet, correct me if im wrong.

- Support preview video file during downloading
Why does a client need to 'support' it ? just load it in a normal media player.

- Doesn't require an installation package to work
Uhh, BitComet has an installer, as far as i know.

- Smart Disk Cache
Windows has disk caching and so does any BT client ive used before.

That method won't work with some clients (Azureus, uTorrent) because the client locks writing/reading to the file. If you want to preview a file, you first have to stop downloading the torrent.

Sorry for hijacking this thread for this but maybe it's better than just making a whole new thread for this specific question. Is there a torrent program that will allow me to upload full speed, let's say from 12 AM to 7 AM and then after that I could set up a speed limit? Since other people in my house need the connection, I can't be hogging it all day so anything like that around?

 

[D.D.]

yes actually utorrent has a built in scheduler.


wasnt OT after all ^^

 

[ShadowDancer]

lmao thanks a lot D.D. for the fast and coincendental response

 

[Player-X]

I belive it's version 1.1.7.2 now

 

[ChaosBlade]

And 1.1.8 should follow soon, Probably with DHT in.

Previously I was using Bittornado, I just trying µTorrent right now.

I'm surprised there's no installer for this program.

In Bittornado there's a yellow circle telling you if your ports are not opened correctly.

How can you tell if all your ports are open in µTorrent?

-If incoming connections were successfully made on the UPnP port, it appends "OK" to this indicator.
-If incoming and outgoing connections seem to be working properly, it displays "Network OK"

And where do I see the network status?

Bottom of the main window, left of the U: and D: indicators.

one little problem with utorrent: if i tweak the maximum connections, it crashes my router. i am forced to leave it at default 200 (i tried 250) whereas with azureus i am able to leave it at unlimited...

 

[ultima528]

µTorrent 1.2 released, with DHT support and all =]

Hey Chaos =P

 

[D.D.]

nice ^^ thank you ultima528

 

[Player-X]

Finally DHT support
*kisses Azureus goodbye*
*Dies from poison*

utorrent is now in my opinion the best

1.1.7.2 gave me problems with my router when i had too many connections but 1.2 fixed all that. now its faster than before (azureus speeds), i can have even more connections, has more customization and still takes up no more than 14 megs of ram (i set a disk cache of 25 megs). most importantly, it doesnt hog up my internet connection on my router like azureus did : for some reason when im downloading at full speed on my lappy and i use the net on my comp, utorrent's speed decreases as if it knows its not high priority in terms of bandwidth O___O.

overall, utorrent i think has finally become the "mother of bt torrents" even if it doesnt improve any further. at a little over 100kb size (utorrent's "claim to fame"), this little client is amazing and im glad i gave it a chance and swtiched over from the azureus zealot camp.

i give it 10/10

EDIT: i forgot to mention its very customizable and it has a built in easytouse (even i cud use it and i never used one before...) scheduler for setting limited upload/download rates

 

[bositman]

Azureus is past for me too. μtorrent(yes thats a Greek m ) takes up wayy less memory,cpu,bandwith and has the same or even better speeds than Azureus.Great job to the team,loving this client

 

[ChaosBlade]

µ for 'micro' in greek lettering, i believe.

Just came home, haven't tested 1.2 (but i did have an internal 1.1.8 beta with DHT to play with .

Im happy to hear all of your got your problems fixed. RIP Azureus ? ;p
