Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 No, nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yopnono Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Ok. Well that's life is it not (bad but thats the way it is.) Soo I stick with the mem sucking azureus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Anything wrong with using µTorrent + Wine over Azureus + Java? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yopnono Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Yes there is. I don't need wine for anything except utorrent. Java I have installed since I need it for different webservices (banking, etc, etc). And since I have the java I can just use a native linux application (Azureus) The only downside of it is the mem use, but I have alot anyway so...Still like to see a native ver of utorrent, since i do like it better.

osm0sis Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 technically nothing using java is native to anything but the Java Virtual Machine, so you're either emulating that to run Az, or emulating windows to run µT. still, i guess it might be a little easier with for you with java.

yopnono Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 ktorrent. Yes I know but.. I use gnome, and I don't like to install a lot of kde libs. Also I've heard that ktorrent send crap data to the torrent server/client Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon4 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Still using uTorrent on Wine here. Only downside is that it *seems* to have trouble reading large (>2gb? >1gb?) files like DVD ISOs from a FAT32 volume, it just says something about "no access to memory location". But that's a small price to pay for a program that STILL eats up almost zero memory and zero CPU for as many torrents as I have open ;-)But at least I finally figured a way to make a shortcut on my desktop for it, lol.

Ultima Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Laast I checked, ktorrent was abusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 It is abusive and has protocol violations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game90 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 i saw a ktorrent1200 today. the moment it got connected, it requested 10 pieces in one shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I've found it to request 2000 pieces in one go before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuser Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 It is abusive and has protocol violations.Could you explain some more?KTorrent and azureus are OSS, so if someone wants to perform bad and know how to do it it's done. It would be nice if we could check it on real code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 There have been reports of KT basically behaving like bitcomet.Announce HammeringAnnouncing completion after hash-check without needing to re-download any pieces.Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuser Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 [useless quoting removed by moderator]I see. Both are somewhat true but it need an explanation.AFAIK the "hammering after 2/3 (dunno what it was) minutes of no download" was only active in svn code, not in a releaseversion. In the 2.0 version, which is just released, it comes with more rules such as "only on non-private torrents" and "only if the tracker doesn't reply with an announce interval to follow". I dunno if we should call this hammering, personally i think it has the right if's.The event complete on hashing, yes they know about it, i reported this bug 2006-08-08. This bug only happens when you load a torrent file and point to the correct folder and it starts rehasing and gets 100%. When you go the route of "the torrent import plugin", there is no bug as it does the expected event=started with left=o here (of course only if it's 100%...)

Ultima Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Just because a tracker doesn't specify an announce interval doesn't mean they should hammer it. And what about the request hammering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuser Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 You mean a forced waiting time between manual announces? Yep, there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 What I'm saying is, you mentioned "only if the tracker doesn't reply with an announce interval to follow"... does that mean it'll be hammering the tracker if they don't? Or will it be following some time you can set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuser Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 No the standard is 30 minutes which you can not modify, only the tracker can alter it by saying "do 60 minutes ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Oh okay. That leaves piece request hammering now... is that still a problem with ktorrent 2.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuser Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 [useless quoting removed by moderator]Not sure to be honest, i never looked into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yopnono Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Well I just tried a torrent called Tribler, clean interface and all that. But it was using more and less the same amount of ram as az and java.And the application is running on phyton.Nooo I stat with the AZ and java until I see some news on the linux front for the utorrent.//Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Oh. That. It's based on ABC, which uses Python, so it's no surprise it uses a lot of resources. Not sure why the RAM would be high, but I haven't used ABC in a long while, and the Tribler people might've added a lot of random junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORCE Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 someone should write cross platform open source torrent program similar interface to uTorrent with Codeblocks and use wxWidgets.http://www.codeblocks.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
