Lord Alderaan Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Azureus (a 'rival' client to µtorrent) officially is no more.They are abandoning the name and are fully moving on to the new Vuze platform (of which the old Azureus application is a part).http://torrentfreak.com/azureus-is-dead-vuze-goes-social-080616/"and give friends a speed boost when you are downloading the same torrent" This doesn't sound good if used often it could be counter productive to the efficiency BitTorrent mechanics try to achieve.Also I don't see how companies keep considering integration of multiple different services (social networking with torrent downloading in this case) a good idea. Because we'll end up with a lot of overlap such as a separate 'social' network with every thing we do with our computer. Instead I prefer to rely on core competence applications. One application for one goal and let people create their own ideal computer setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc1 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Also I don't see how companies keep considering integration of multiple different servicesYeah I agree - I like to keep my BitTorrent client and my Tetris clones separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 You can always switch back to the classic UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Tetris clone is not a service... it's an easter egg. Same with the THX-esque sound.In any case social networking sites have passed. If News Corp. can't even make them profitable.... my wishes go out to you guys.

amc1 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Tetris clone is not a service... it's an easter egg.And my comment was a joke, not a serious comment. I didn't even know about the THX sound thing...Anyway - I'm absolving myself of anything to do with those new features - wasn't asked about them, didn't work on them, didn't contribute to them, don't use them. Anyway, these sorts of features aren't meant for the likes of me. And the sort of features that I want.... well... I get my inspiration from other places...

jewelisheaven Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 ... 16-bit listview? Or the similarity to uT Now if Google's new app prompted from your guys' research pans farther out... it may not matter if you're on a smaller swarm with people you know because your line isn't being crippled <hope> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc1 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Similarity to UT? I don't know what you mean...What Google app thing are you referring to anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sorry I should have linked originally, apologies http://www.hothardware.com/News/Google_To_Develop_ISP_Throttling_Detector/Keep the screenies coming. You think they'd balk at an even MORE minimal UI than the "classic" one currently offered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
