roy Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Today I received two messages from torrentsites that the use of utorrent 1.3 is no longer allowed because the tracker is not updated correctly.If this is true can you please fix it. I'd hate to have to switch back to Azureus.
roy Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Posted December 13, 2005 http://84.24.8.10/ctje/index.phpI can't find the other one. I'l try again later.At first I thought that it was just a problem with that perticular site, but once I received another message... Well if no one else has any problems it might be just that one(or two) site(s).
hendrix Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 weird, i am a member of several torrent sites, and µTorrent isnt banned there! Anyone else?edit: typo
hofshi Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 I only know of TBK banning µtorrent, but I guess that's old news.
Firon Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Well, I'd like to inform you that they're wrong.
dudeboyz Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 nobody should ban torrents. everyone should share equally.
Kurz Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 Well in some cases like bitcomet there are some clients that should be banned.Utorrent isnt one of them...
roy Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Posted December 14, 2005 http://83.149.105.3/index.php was the other site that mentioned problems with utorrent 1.3 .Well since the best sites owned by pro's, do not report any problems, it is probably nothing to worry about, sorry.
tjobo Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 http://83.149.105.3/index.php was the other site that mentioned problems with utorrent 1.3 .Well since the best sites owned by pro's, do not report any problems, it is probably nothing to worry about, sorry.No, it's was about 1.2.3 beta. 1.3 is fine.
Gary13579 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 Ahh, this would be a nice feature to add into uTorrent. The ability to change what client type it sends to the tracker.You might be able to hex edit it to make it say BitComet or something, but that would be a bit hard.
dudeboyz Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 share freely and share alike! No restrictions, baby! The internet is all about freedom!
splintax Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 You might be able to hex edit it to make it say BitComet or something, but that would be a bit hard.I believe you would be talking about using a proxy, not hex editing, but hey, it's still not a good idea. If such a feature were implemented in µT it would result in it getting banned from some sites, and with good reason IMO.The second site mentioned, as someone else mentioned, is saying that an old beta of µT is banned (1.2.x IIRC). 1.3 is OK. Anyone want to tell me what the first site mentioned says? You appear to need an account to see the warning?
chaosblade Posted December 16, 2005 Report Posted December 16, 2005 Peer ID faking is retarded, useless, and its a fact that the client is hiding something (read: bitcomet).
hendrix Posted December 16, 2005 Report Posted December 16, 2005 nah.. dont know if i agree with you there.. ppl want peer id faking.. its easier that way in case of blocking.. and there are sites that block and the client stays blocked even if the bug is fixed.. thats why ppl implement peer id faking (in general) imho
Ultima Posted December 16, 2005 Report Posted December 16, 2005 Well they obviously did something wrong in the first place to have been banned. If the new version fixes past abuses, then they can just alert the tracker administrators. As has been seen several times already, µTorrent was banned, and when new versions were released, administrators were willing to test again, and subsequently, unbanned the client.
splintax Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 Ultima: As has been seen several times already, tracker administrators are often irrational and ban clients for no good reason. Peer ID faking would be a way of getting around this but I would instead suggest first listening to the admins - and confirming that they are wrong - then letting them know and (a) leaving the site or ( fake peer ID through other means. This doesn't have to be implemented by the client directly you know, and implementing it only gives the client a bad name.
Ultima Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 ?Read my post again =PEdit: splintax, just in case you didn't understand what I was trying to say... I was arguing against the addition of such a feature in µTorrent... I said so myself (as you pointed out as well) that one could try contacting the administrator of the tracker that banned (hypothetically) µTorrent.
chaosblade Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 People using fake peerid patchs should be shot. Period.
Klaus_1250 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 People using fake PeerID's should be banned, if fake PeerID's are implented. So a client that implements fake's PeerID's would be pretty useless. Why don't people get this? Look at the eDonkey-network....
GhostDog Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 BitmeTV.org is banning 131B. I tried to download 3 torrents off the site. Had to go back to Azureus.
Ultima Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 They don't want their tracker to be used as a testbed tracker for a beta client.
hofshi Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 why go back to Az when you can just use the official v1.3?
Kazuaki Shimazaki Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 why go back to Az when you can just use the official v1.3?Because the official v1.3 has a few problems concerning Partial Downloads (forced me to go back to BitComet)? The beta solves the problem as far as I can see, though.I keep Azureus and BitComet around myself for contingencies involving weak torrents. Both of them seem to do somewhat better on weak torrents. Sometimes, I copy down the IP numbers that BitComet/Azureus manages to get and punch them in manually, one by one, in uTorrent.
