Guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I'm currently seeding 6 torrents and downloaded 2, uTorrent's memory footprint is: 6964K of memory and 3064K of virtual memory, the usage slightly increases over a few minutes then goes down again. CPU usage is zero. ABC on the other hand used about 17000K doing the same operation with slight CPU usage. I'm very impressed for a first release well done Ludvig, the new kid on the block has come to kick ass!I've posted about this new piece of software to a few aquaintences, hopefully they will start using it too.... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I'm really amazed myself. So small, yet so feature-rich. I thought Arctic torrent was something (well, it still is), but this is just dumbfounding.Keep up the GREAT work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoovious Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I tried Azeurus(sp?) a little while ago... and while I liked some of the features, what I really _hated_ was the fact it wanted to move my torrent files somewhere else, and place the downloaded data in places I didn't want.I haven't downloaded uTorrent yet, tho I've heard good things about it.What I want to know before I try it out, is will it leave my .torrent files where I left them, and do I have easier control of where the data goes?My setup is this... Drive P: has the most space on it... I set it up specifically for housing torrents.P:torrentscontains all of my .torrent files, and the data for each torrent is in a directory that matches the filename of the .torrent, without the extension, so I wouldhave:P:torrentsomerandomtorrentfile.torrentP:torrentsomerandomtorrentfileI want to keep this organization.I would try it now, but I hate to switch clients in the middle of a transfer.Would I be able to continue organizing my stuff like this with uTorrent without much fuss?-- Smoovious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(By default it's inside Local settings inside Documents And Settings).You can setup that folder to be P:torrentYou can also setup the download folder to be P:torrent, then it will download to there.Please test that and tell me if that is what you want, if not, explain in more detail what you need, and I might add it.

Smoovious Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 uTorrent by default makes a copy of each torrent that you add to an "internal" folder.

I already keep my own backup copies.I want to put the torrents I want to get or make available in a specific spot, and I want them to stay there, and I want the client to use them and access them there, where I tell it to.If I can disable its moving/copying/backuping torrents, have it use the torrent where I tell it to, and have it automatically create a folder to download to, based on the filename of the torrent (without the extension), and not based on what it finds within the torrent, so the torrent's filename, and directory name, match, then that works for me.IMHO... no program should use a copy of a file in another location when I click on a file (in this case torrent)... it should use the specific file I clicked on or selected, right where it is.The more files are copied/moved/backed up into other places, the harder it is to keep track of where everything is.(guess I'm too old-school)-- Smoovious(I will check things out tonight, and get back with you for a more definitive reply) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkie Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I reached speeds twice as fast as my maximum speed on azureus with this, I strongly recommend to anyone tired of seeing their CPU/Memory usage go crazy over another bittorrent client... One single detail that's been bothering me though is that there are no option to pre-allocate disk space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Love BitComet, but I can easily see with a little spit and polish, utorrent will be my new Bittorrent client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 First impressions...wow, just what i want in a client. Im hoping that during testing im not going to be dissapointed too much (expect a few bugs, but hopefully no show stoppers).Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 This proggie is the way software was written back when I used to code.Excellent work, nice to see something small & efficient like it should be.Maybe the people @ Microsoft should be looking at this as an example of what their code should look like.

Guest Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Ok It's small just because it has been compressed but it's pretty fast.It's a very good torrent client: in my case, it's fast even if i'm firewalled.Thanks to the devs for letting out of the hat such cute piece of code.

Guest Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 it's a GREAT torrent program.simple, small and fastthanks developers for your great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Here's a screenshot showing it's performance & speed. Mem at 3MB & CPU 3%. Azureus+Java ran at 50MB-90MB & CPU 12%. Maybe replacing Azureus in my system tray. RSS import would be nice to grab my http://www.systm.org episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
