BlackLion Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 From start to initial >5K DL flows is typically <5 minutes on BitComet (along with a huge list of peers BC managed to find).I know....HOW does the Comet manage to DO that??? LOLOLThe betas have improved the speeds significantly for most people. For me, it's always been the same, but I'm special. Firon, im in your camp there. Never have had a speed issue.

Arup Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I was a dedicated user of Azureus and for me, uTorrent never looked serious even though it is written in my favorite language that I teach at the univ, however, as with many others on this thread, Azureus would slow down on my dual XEON 1GB RAM PC as well as my latest dual XP64 2GB RAM PC after sometimes,not only that, after coming back to my PC, I would see that downloads had almost frozen, I decided to try uTorrent after that, never have looked back, fast response, faster downloads, even does well with old semi dead torrents, nothing more that I can ask.

LOLOLIt might be Peer Exchange giving the Comet an advantage' date=' and it is the results that are important anyway in a Weak Torrent situation. Honestly, with a weak torrent where this becomes important, cheating is the last of my concerns. Considering the nature of files that many (if not most) BTers download, it is just a [i']little hypocritical to demand that they care about a cheating client Nothing I can do but try manual peer exchange b/w BC and uTorrent. Hey Ludde, are we ever going to have Peer Exchange? Is it something hard to implement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 The idea behind PeX makes sense to me, and I would like to have it in µTorrent, but apparently it's not a high priority. Though it is coming soon.I too have never had speed issues except on weak torrents when µT didn't have DHT.yukycg: i think that's 'coz many peers you're trying to connect to are behind VPN(P.R.China) (µT does not implement NAT Traversal), and many of these peers (or yourself, like so-net) are in PeerGuardian P2P blocklist or ipfilter.dat. enable built-in mini tracker may help a little.How would the mini tracker help at all? :|Oh yeah, and this thread is still going?

tumu Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 PeX is just another bee hive to be exploited to get access to private torrents. :/ Also DHT already makes PeX redundant, why would one need two methods of getting the same peer list?

Firon Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 So you can get non-DHT peers (which means every other client except BitVomit/Spirit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 And Azureus =PBut don't those clients also need to support PEX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Azureus is on a different DHT network so you don't get them. If you can do PEX with BitComet (or even other µTs), you may be able to get other non-Comet/µT peers, depending on if any of them knew of other peers beforehand.

tumu Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Adding thoughts from IRC, on full tracker outage, PeX would get the following common peers:Azureus and non-DHT (mainline, BitTornado, ABC, other mainline/custom forks)If Azureus ever implements mainline DHT or uTorrent adds Azureus DHT support, then the list gets lot smaller. The mainline is listed as it does not use DHT as tracker backup, it's only for trackerless torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 lol forgot about the separate network... somehow... xDAFAIK, the Azureus developers aren't interested in implementing the mainline/BitComet DHT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leerees Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I personally prefer azurues for speed, interface and usability, I'm not bothered if it uses more RAM as I have a decent systemThe reason I use u-torrent is because Azurues sometimes crashes and I loose my downloaded torrents. U-torrent doesn't crash, but it kills my internet connection, even with max connects set to 20 and half open set to 2. Basically I leave u-torrent on over night and reboot my router in the morning.I reluctantly use U-Torrent, although if azurues didn't crash, i'd switch over to it in a flash. U-torrent is like the bane of file sharing, it's what I call "community driven bs". Everybody worships it for the sole purpose that it uses the least memory / resources. Who cares about resources?, it's not like we're running mission critical dedicated servers here, it's just home PC's downloading [open source software and non-copyrighted material]EDIT by silverfire: Guess what I edited?

Ultima Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Check the first link in my signature.Regarding resource usage: whatever floats your boat. Many of us don't like Java, and don't even have it installed. Why should we have to install Java just for a BitTorrent application? We've got most (if not all) of the features we need in µTorrent, so what would justify using Azureus? No one said it's only about resource usage.

leerees Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 cheers ultimata, done all those and much more, u-torrent just doesn't work on certain belkin and cisco routers, that's what I've found out through my own testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weilawei Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 @leerees: Sounds like you have some configuration issues. Have you considered bandwidth limiting instead of just max connections and max halfopen?Also, for the last comment about "warez & porn."This forum is NOT for help with videos, games, movies, or anything you've downloaded!Posting about any illegal sharing of copyrighted content is strictly FORBIDDEN.Personally, I like my torrent client not eating my system resources. I tend to leave uTorrent, xChat, Trillian, Skype and Firefox open at the same time. I'm not on a huge, fast connection either. I just pay attention to bandwidth limiting where I can. The upside to this? I don't have to reboot my router or be hassled with dead internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 So you've disabled DHT and UPnP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
