Spyderz Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 im still on azureus because it has out-of-the-box unicode support and i dl stuff sometimes thats either jap or chineseonce utorrent has unicode im ditching azureus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbad0n Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 - It lacks proper disk-caching. This is a killer when downloading at 800+KB/s, I can't do anything hard drive intensive at the same time.Get a USB or Firewire hard drive if you're using a laptop, or add another one to a free drive bay for a desktop, and you shouldn't have problems if the torrents are saved there. Works for me.Of course then I upload to a ReadyNAS 600 so I can access from any computer on my LAN. As for the thread topic, I still get Azureus out for torrents that are only available on their version of DHT, and of course for unicode files. When Azureus moves to mainline DHT and µTorrent supports unicode I will be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Im still using Az only because it can create DHT-disabled torrents. So I create the private torrents with Az, then seed em in uT. Anyone know of any other clients that can do that so I can officially remove this monster from my pc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbad0n Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Shouldn't you be able to do this by checking the box labeled "Private torrent"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Yeah, the µTorrent torrent maker supported making private torrents before DHT was implemented... I think in 1.1.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 oh...thanks. as u can see I never created a torrent using uT yet......Be Gone Az!!!! ( I shoulda been got rid of this hog monster....) Plus its ALOT easier to the average user how to do it as compared to Az. "uT Rocks!!" so much its not even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLion Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 At this stage µTorrent is the only client running on any of my boxes......its all tweakage for me at this stage, not doing much torrent releasing atm so its good to go....for me anyway.

dolbysnoopy Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Official bittorrent 3.4 is my first choice. If it doesn't work, I try with utorrent then Bitcomet the last resort. If the above three client failed, I choose not to download it and find others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Why, I wonder.. Is there a point sticking to a bugged, very old version of the official, feature-less client ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 it's probably for sentimental reasons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolbysnoopy Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Why, I wonder.. Is there a point sticking to a bugged, very old version of the official, feature-less client ?It's for historical reasons as I run the official client under FreeBSD when there's no other choice at that time. For windows, I prefer utorrent & Bitcomet since most torrents are multitracker now, it's hard to find torrent compatible with old official 3.4 client now.

chaosblade Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Even multitracker torrent should still work (you have two diff. keys in the torrent, or SHOULD HAVE, Announce and Announce-List). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dricon Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 µTorrent will stay my favorite and primary client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3an Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I use Azureus on my headless download debain machine. Nothing beats command line azureus with a web interface.On my main machine I use µTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorcro2000 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I still use Azureus because I find that the 700k to (sometimes) 1 million people on DHT there can usually get me more seeds than I can find even with µTorrents DHT. In fact I sometimes find myself running both clients simulatenously, µTorrent for the stuff I get from private trackers and then Azureus for some files from some open trackers.
