basically, it's a unicode -> ANSI wrapper. ludde decided to forgo the 160kb dll and just do it himself (it only increased the size <1kb), making it easier since no one has to install a DLL.

ludde doesn't want to make users have to download a 160KB dll. And it doesn't provide full unicode support anyway, I think. And there is, various fixes, additions, and the client won't choke on UTF-8 torrents (I believe) even on 9x systems. there's been a few new advanced options and whatnot, look around the FAQ to see. (it's updated already)

µtorrent 1.2.3-beta-358 (Unicode) is out. It works with Windows 9x/ME and 2K/XP. Of course, Unicode works only on 2K/XP. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=3131 Please note that significant changes have been made to the 9x/ME code (It supports both ANSI/Unicode from the same executable), so things might have broken. The torrent maker wasn't working in the previous beta, but is fixed now. The new beta also enhances support for Chinese torrents. http://utorrent.com/download.php

PNG would make the size bloat since you'd have to implement a PNG decoder.

That was a while ago, and it was fixed. It was DomZ by the way. He was trying to seed off a CD, and while I'm not sure if that was fixed, the read-only error while seeding off an HD was fixed for sure.

Read-only will screw up downloading (logically, it can't write if it's read only!), but not seeding.

µTorrent 1.2.3-beta Unicode is out. It is for NT/2k/XP ONLY.

Roxio, ugh... couldn't have picked a worse burner software... :/

we've already got someone redesigning the web page :] ignorantcow is handling that

Neither of them protect Firefox. The only thing SpywareBlaster protects Firefox from is some Ad / Tracking cookies.

Spybot S&D has an immunize function similar to SpywareBlaster, you can use both to get even better protection.

Guess there's no need for this to be open anymore...

I really like that logo, Shrill! Here's another vote for your logo XD

Um, I don't think you quite know what you're talking about. Oh and images are disabled in sigs.

Ludde said no to changing the units. He likes the units as they are now.

The default TLD list is in the flags.conf I posted on the FAQ. As for the actual default flags, I don't remember where to get them anymore... I just know it got changed to the 'nicer' set.

peer exchange isn't a priority, but it was never said that it WOULDN'T get implemented.

How would not having the flag make a difference? You'd still be wondering which ones are US and which ones aren't. It makes absolutely no difference, apart from seeing a flag, and not seeing a flag.

only .com/.net are configurable, .org/biz/info/edu all get mapped to US

Not really, I had no problems finding 15 hosts with the US flags showing... why would it make a difference? you see the US flag virtually exclusively with .com/.net, it wouldn't be very different if you had no flag showing instead. in fact, it'd be easier, because it wouldn't get mixed in with IPs that don't have flags

oh, that explains it, I had REMOVED that from my flags.conf, wondering what it was.

You have to map US regardless of if you use a flags.bmp in the new beta now :/ So I just copied your mappings and removed the entries that didn't have a flag in the default. I haven't uploaded it yet, though.

Yeah, I put mine there for default use, mainly to use as a template. the host mappings (not the TLD list) are basically identical, just that mine doesn't map |US, since it's not required when you're not using a custom flag. Also, .net and .com only, you can't map .org

hah, prtc.net was my old ISP

There's non-client based web seeders. Like PHP scripts and whatnot.
