  1. PeerFactor+utorrent?

    in General

    I really wonder if people will actually listen... they'll just be like... Oh noes! µTorrent is associated with PeerFactor was once associated with RetSpan! µTorrent is spyware!

    I've tried them all, and there's no doubt about it: BitComet downloads are the fastest!

    Which in my eyes, is the most important thing.

    With uTorrent going spyware, and Azureus beeing such a bloat, there's no competitor around.

    Just wished that this client was Open Source....

    Funny, µTorrent "going spyware." Talk about getting his facts all twisted.

    [offtopic]BitComet's fastest by cheating, and even then, if that guy configured µTorrent properly, he'd be getting equivalent speeds. And the open source argument, once again.[/offtopic]

    lol no offense to anyone over at the Slyck forums, but fa really sounds a lot of them... And having Microsoft on the list? Wee we'll just block Microsoft so that people can't get Windows Update! And then EVERYONE will be safe!

    Again with the source code crap too. Cute, real cute. What's interesting?

    Many ask why Protowall isn't open source - Protowall has nothing to hide, but it remains closed source to prevent cloning and others stealing its code.

    Well gee, talk about hypocritical, yet again.

    I won't argue about anything you said. But about the paranoia thing, if anti-P2P is such a big deal, then maybe P2P just isn't for you. It's the risk anyone has to take when using P2P. Same goes with the Internet itself. I agree, maybe may be a bit too naive and trusting, but at least I won't be jumping to as many incorrect conclusions because of it either.

    The sensationalist news sites will probably spread word on this... I saw it on digg.com already. Doesn't look like the commenters really cared much. I'm not sure about the rest of the people though. In the end, I don't think many trackers (if any) banned the mainline client, so I doubt something that extreme would happen...

    @juniorx: LokiTorrent had to release the IPs. Lawsuit? Yep. Anyway, best of luck to you too... there are plenty of other clients out there, so maybe you'll find something you like (almost) as much as µTorrent ;P

    @AntiLeech: I see that point of view, but frankly, it's not the same situation. ludde isn't working for the company. End of story for that argument about Firon. And so what if ludde's helping someone implement an authorized distribution system? I don't see the big deal, and it would help them at least begin to embrase the P2P philosophy. And no, it's not blind zealotry and idolatry. It's just a different outlook that's a lot less filled with paranoia. What people should be afraid of is PeerFactor itself, and Smoovious brought up that point, that maybe this whole controversy was their aim in the first place. Looks like it's working. In the end, I trust that ludde won't be doing anything that those people at the Slyck forums are accusing him of doing ("playing on the other side?" Please :rolleyes:).

    Yes indeed, and that's exactly what I told him. Honestly, he has absolutely no right to be talking about someone's morality when he himself is immoral in one way or another. Big hypocrite, and I think I'm just about through arguing with him on that forum.

    lmao I addressed those people calling for the open sourcing of µTorrent just because of this incident. Someone (who deleted his post) was saying like... "most applications should be open source." My reaction (further down) was like... WTF?? (though I didn't actually write it) xD

    Edit: And so ludde speaks... not like his priorities weren't clear enough already (to us anyway)...

    Edit: lol ludde responded to the open source thing too xD

    ludde can't. According to Smoovious (in that post I linked to above)...

    Then there is the confidentiality clause. We'll make the author agree to a confidentiality clause for the next 6mo duration of the contract, while we can say anything we want to.

    And so the brilliant minds at the Slyck forums have their party...

    Excellent article, Mike. Very well done

    I knew µTorrent wasn't trustworthy, from the moment I saw it was proprietary. Now it turns out I'm right.

    I'm sticking to Azureus like always, so should everyone else.

    And screw Strigeus.

    Really stupid, in my opinion. I wonder if it's fun being paranoid... after all, everyone seems to be lately. If they can't get over the fact that there are (and always will be) proprietary things, ON TOP of being suspicious about anything proprietary, it honestly is really sad.

    Red_Blue's especially funny.

    The question is not so much whether he was working for the copyright mafia all a long and planted backdoors or call-home trojans in μTorrent, it's about moral character. Do you want to be using something you know was coded by someone now working for the guys who want to shut it down and sue you, potentially for millions?
    ...why don't you then inform us how it really is, preferably with first hand account from Strigeus, explaining why should we trust and support him now that he is working for the enemy?

    And I'm sure he has real good moral standings. If he weren't doing something illicit, then what reason does he have to fear the entities he call his "enemy?" So much for his goody-two-shoe front.

    Edit:

    I'll be sure to comment that the day I turn my friends in and start working for the guys who claim that giving for free is stealing worth billions.

    And so you don't have any right to be judging ludde's moral character.

    "Claim?" IANAL' date=' but is it not common sense that giving for free is stealing if the material being "given" doesn't legally belong to the entity doing the giving, or if the entity with legal ownership doesn't give permission? Anyway, that's a different discussion altogether, so I'll just leave it at that.[/quote']

    lol seriously, he doesn't turn his friends in, so isn't that morally incorrect, to be an accomplice in theft? Hypocritical... Now I'm not saying he should turn them in, but if he doesn't, then he really shouldn't be talking about morality =T

    I'm not likening you to a child. It was just a hypothetical example I picked from out of the air. I could've chosen any other example -- that one was just one that popped into my head at the time. I'm not sure why you're getting offended, but I'm going to drop this convo as you are.

    No need to double-post. Please. And you raising that point every 5 betas isn't going to help get it out of beta state any faster, so I'm not sure why you're saying you will continue to say it. It's just like a little kid in a car going to an amusement park with his parents and saying "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" every five minutes. It'll be out when it's done (and they'll be there when they get there in the example I gave). Unless you want a half-baked product (and in the case of the example, stop at a rest-stop rather than the fun fun fun amusement park).

    Summary: We get the point. Bringing it up over and over won't make it get released any faster.

    - Change: Tracker connections obey max_halfopen/max_connections

    Hm... that change is a few builds old, but I just thought about it right now, and was wondering... is DHT considered a tracker, and get limited in the same way? And if not, would it be a major issue (for DHT-performance) if the number of connections got limited, or would it just make DHT announces take a little more time to return results?
