Pwnage Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 What features dose uTorrent lack that other torrent downloaders have? If anyone can think of any i would like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazuaki Shimazaki Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 As of the latest betas:1) Kick-and-ban: goes against Ludde's principles.2) Chat: I never used it and don't know why someone wants this.3) Plugins: would never happen.4) BC style Full auto upload slot configuration.5) Azureus style DHT: Some say it will be here someday.And also some "features"...6) Rapid Connection Recycling: An unofficial BC "feature" that was one of the many reasons it got banned, but I guess ultra-aggressivness has advantages in ultracrap torrents especially if everyone is using BC anway.7) Computer Drag-Inducer: Sometimes, if your game is moving too fast, you can use Azureus or BC's sheer mass to slow it up at the price of jerky frame rates.

Pwnage Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Dosent it bann automatically? If someone is sending bad files. I keep getting a file hash error at around 99.9% and uTorrent bans people that are giving me that.Those are the only features that the other applications have over uTorrent? Thats it?

DreadWingKnight Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 The "kick and ban" mentioned is a right-click a peer, click and ban.If you're getting a 99.9% hashfail consistently, look to your hardware (DLink router DMZ = death to specific data downloads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnage Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 So it has about everything that azures has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 5) Azureus style DHT: Some say it will be here someday.^That, in conjuction with Peer Exchange will make me the most happiest of campers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveBG Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 - Larger cashe for less HDD read/writes!I need iRam instead of HDD LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 The cache is fully configurable.advanced settings:diskio.read_cache_size This sets the size of the read cache (0 = disabled). The value is in KiB.The plugins one is a pretty big "missing" feature - though I don't personally want it, I can see where it's useful (if you've got plugins, ludde doesn't have to do anything but fix bugs/security problems, but of course that makes the program a lot more bloaty..)

torrenteer Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 NAT traversal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Remember Kazaa ? I don't this it has NAT trversal... BUT someone implement an external utility that does this for Kazaa (KaNat). Can something similar be done for uT ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Azureus has:"Use SI Units" and "Use bits instead of bytes for byte-based rate values"Im not too clear on the first one, but the 2nd one shows u your actual up/down speeds as if u were doing a speed test. I used it for ego tripping...seeing my download speed show 1Mbps instead of, say 100k. On OpenOffice, it showed 900k b4 using the 2nd option. Then it showed 6Mbps!! lolok...someone should come along soon and correct my usage of k and K..LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Well, for some reason, ludde doesn't believe in using SI units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaosblade Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Meh, such petty things. Measuring units, heh.Keep in mind DHT nor PEX are azureus compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Yes, unfortunately. But it'd be nice if they were, wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Er... I thought PEX is going to be Azureus compatible...? (Wasn't Azureus changing their message protocol for compatibility?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkhorse Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 The feature I'd like to see is the ability to chose which files from a multi-file torrent to download without utorrent pre-allocating the hard disk space first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 µTorrent doesn't pre-allocate all files if you tell it which files you want. You can choose which files you want to download with the BitComet-style pre-download dialog, or by manually selecting the files before you start the download...
