Import from Azureus

[radzloco]

Has anyone tried completing torrents that were being downloaded through Azureus ? I was using Azureus but now I have found µTorrent . I want continue downloading the partial ones in µTorrent. Is this possible ? Has anyone tried this ?

[boo]

its been a long time since I used Azureus, but if it doesn't add an extra extension,

you can just copy what you were downloading to µTorrent's download folder

and load the .torrent into µTorrent.

and when you move, just point to the file, folder that azureus has been dowloading to

it will run a check, and continue downloading

Thanks guys. Seems to work !

if you havent saved the .torrent files you'll have to wait for all of em to finish ie my situation.

so i've basically got to wait for buggy Azureus to finish

anyone know if i need tcp and udp port open for all torrent apps?

[ColdArmor]

TCP and UDP should both be forwarded.

"buggy azureus". Heh, kids these days.

Azureus, unlike your beloved µTorrent, has a .torrent file export feature. Also, the original .torrent files are stored in your Windows user profile.

Azureus also now has the ability to move and rename files and folders on the fly. Eat your heart out.

%appdata%\azureus\torrents is where it stores torrents, I do believe.

And I still disagree with renaming, it only causes problems if you wanna seed that torrent again after removing it, or moving to another client.

50MB base java memory usage. eat your heart out (of frustration) ?

Its lovely how people boast about Az adding some more useless functions.

3D flag animation plugin anyone ?

I don't really understand this. .torrents are also in the Windows user profile for µT users. Also, why do you need a 'torrent file export' feature when you can just copy them from the user profile directory?

I have to say, I disagree with the comment about 'buggy Azureus', bloated and slow it may be, but it's more stable than µT if only because it's got a larger developer base and is more 'mature'.

[Firon]

I agree, Azureus isn't really buggy, it's just slow and bloated (mostly because of JRE, but it has a lot to do with the code and the amount of crap they put in it). It does function very well, for the most part (large torrents and large filelists cause it to be VERY slow and sometimes crash with out of memory errors).

[ScubaSteve]

azureus is still the benchmark for bittorrent clients. i havent seen any client that is as good as it yet. shame that they cant port it to c++ cause then im sure it would truly be excellent not having to use the jre an all. µTorrent is still very young and im sure in a few months time will be up there contending with the more popular ones like comet and azureus. im happy with µTorrent for most of my downloads and very rarely need to switch over.

[ColdArmor]

I would have to agree it is nice once in a while to pop up Azureus and check if the torrent is in fact slow or if it's your setup

First, back to the topic - i had no problem resuming azureus torrents using utorrent, no problems at all, so if someone still wondering about it - go for it, it works.

About azureus, imho, not really buggy, but uses JRE, and thats a MAJOR resource hog. The entire java concept looks kinda like a reincarnation of a gwbasic to me, but please dont start a flame on this line. And, i dont think porting a java code to native C++ code for multiple platforms is something they are going to do, so for me it's now the utorrent

[Smoovious]

I dunno if I would really call Az the 'benchmark' for torrent clients...

not hardly...

Somtimes when I resume torrents from other clients it looes like 2% - 7% but that's just because it didn't write the data

[splintax]

if you havent saved the .torrent files you'll have to wait for all of em to finish ie my situation.

Shouldn't you just be able to redownload the .torrents from wherever you got them in the first place? Also, I'm pretty sure Azureus automatically saves them somewhere, but you may have to look around for that.

I agree with Azureus being the benchmark. However, porting it to C++ would probably remove one of its advantages to an extent; it can run on any OS with a JRE.

That's virtually the only reason a lot of Linux and OSX users use it, it's the best choice available to them...

[1c3d0g]

For Mac, Transmission looks like a very nice client, and for Linux...well, there's always KTorrent or one of those libs (I forgot its name)...
