deeppal Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Im have used for utorrent for a week. And i have bombarded with many torrents and even single torrents downloads.Wat i see in utorrent is my ram usage keeps going down until my memturbo recharges the ram back up. But when i use azureus, it is buggie but the ram stays abt the same. I love utorrent but till im really sure about this client, im gonna keep using azureus which has a vast array of plugins and for me feels safer and less hard on my hardisks.
dajojo88 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Thanks for the information? I don't really know how to reply to this post; actually, i don't think you really wanted a reply.
deeppal Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Posted October 12, 2005 Just wanted to see if other people felt the way i did.
trojkolka Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 I'm still using azureus as well. And i love the features utorrent bring like low memory use and stuff like that. Still i dont feel safe enough to use it because decentralization is still not supported and plugins or features like safepeer are not implemented. But it is definitly a good program to use that's for sure especially on lower system requirements...
chaosblade Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 >> Still i dont feel safe enough to use it because decentralization is still not supported and plugins or features like safepeer are not implemented.Because the first feature is used to leech without fear of ratios and the other is for people who are frightningly paranoid aside from being mostly useless.Uhm, Thanks for visiting, and have a good day. O_OBTW.. DHT doesnt make anything safer. Nothing at all. If anything, it spreads your IP over to more peers so they can do whatever they want with it.

O_OU need to relax. Nobody is cutting down the client or saying its bad. Forums are made so people can discuss their opinions.If forums were made so u come and only compliment the client, then its no use.We are still talkin abt utorrent here so people generally will compare clientsAnd going offtopc. DHT is not only to leech, its also to be able to download from public trackers which half the time are down.
trojkolka Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 hmz thanks for the comments... I'm not 100% into this whole p2p and torrent chaos (it is for me more chaos). I love the the client... It works perfect...I will be hanging around sometimes here to check if there are any new updates/features for now utorrent 1.14 will do. Thanks keep it up...
chaosblade Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 >> Forums are made so people can discuss their opinions. and im expressing mine.trojkolka: I was not suggesting anything about you nor your knowledge.>> And going offtopc. DHT is not only to leech, its also to be able to download from public trackers which half the time are down.And is used in order to leech from other peers without reporting your ratio to your tracker aswell. Like it or not thats how some people use it.
deeppal Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Posted October 12, 2005 In the world u can even use good things for bad purposes. That doesnt make it bad.And enuf of this DHT crap. Happened alot in the other thread already.I started this thread to hear peoples views on the ever decreasing ram memory as utorrent is run.
chaosblade Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Enough of the ridiclous 'safe' BS then. Happens on half the forums. Azureus does not make you any safer really.
slimy Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 lol those memory programs are complete bullcrap. they don't improve performance, they actually hinder it cuz they have to be running all the time
Niceguy Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 I started this thread to hear peoples views on the ever decreasing ram memory as utorrent is run.well, considering that the biggest pro of utorrent is that it uses extremely little ram, I doubt there are many here sharing your views...what windows version are you running? there may be some incompability problem causing resource leaks?
BloodStaindHurricane Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Just wanted to see if other people felt the way i did.Nope, can't say that I feel the way you do at all. I'm not experiencing any problems with utorrent. Same with most members here. If you're having problems with the client, they can be figured out. Its a shame that you'd give up on such a great app, that, need I remind you, will only get better with every build released. The developer(s) respond timely to forum posts reporting bugs and have thus far been releasing new versions with major improvements more quickly than most apps I've seen. If you wanna go back to the bloated, blue frog....that's your choice. You'll be back.
deeppal Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Posted October 12, 2005 Yap i never said i wd never come back to this client. I just said maybe in the future when im fully convinced with the client. Its a great client. I just like the various plugins of azureus. Seeing how utorrent is going, i know i will be back. And on the topic of memory leak, there was another thread on this so im not the only one.
erissiva Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 I have been up to 8 downloading/seeding torrents of sizes over 3GB each without a raise in RAM of 7MB.So, unless you're running a WinXP system of off 32 MB RAM, there really shouldn't be a problem. And, just so you know, those RAM booster programs dont help in the least bit.Also, safepeer does jack-diddly. That means nothing.Use something like PeerGuardianLite which offers blanket protection.
deeppal Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Posted October 13, 2005 I use pg2 so i cant be bothered abt safepeer. When dht is introduced to utorrent, i will be glad coz many public trackers are half the time down. Im using utorrent again and see how it goes.
Wyvers Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 utorrent has a nice niche going heh. I just wanted know if anyone else can confirm this, but with Azureus i can see more seeds/peers and I connect and start downloading/uploading with them quicker. I've tried this with torrents from various sites.

U can connect to less and still get greater speeds coz u connected to the right ones.And connecting to too many can also lead to unstability.

I've tried this with torrents from various sites.utorrent is definitely picking up seeds quicker with each release.and currently it's misreporting the number of seeds available in the main window, but on the bottom it's correct.
buttfuzz Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 I tried Azureus and didn't like it. It uses up too many resources on my old computer. ( 1.20 gigahertz AMD Athlon , Board: Compaq 070Ch , Bus Clock: 100 megahertz ,512 MB RAM) I've never been a big fan of flash over function. Been with Bitcomet for a while now, it still uses up a lot of resources but has many nifty features. It is slow however, when I need a fast download I use Shadow's Bittorrent client.I am quite impressed with uTorrent. Lots of functionality with a small footprint. I can actually multi-task again with it running. After 5 downloads I have seen speeds in excess of 300 kB/s for a single torrent. Cheers to the uTorrent team!! (And a pox on the complainers :-) )BTW: I was getting blue screens with a memory parity error, and started using RamBooster 1.6. Haven't seen a blue screen since. Perhaps those memory boosters aren't totally worthless. (Keeps the memory from getting completely full?)
deeppal Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Posted October 13, 2005 Why do people always think a faster client is a better client?
mcgoo Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 mostly people like to fill their harddiscs with trash as fast as they can.comparing speeds of clients is not easy,because you never leech as the same time with the same swarm of peers. but nobody seems zo know that
distortedmind Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 i've used azureus, bitcomet, abc, exeem, bittornado and of course the original client (still do in loonix ) i used azureus for a long time since an early version in windows and linux.this is my favourite client even with it's problems (no dht, no queuing system) . i love the small footprint, even with peerguardian (oh no 3 meg) it still still beats azureus + java by a factor of 4 or more. i average 18meg with 8 torrents with utorrent. i have a fast rig with 1.5g but i bought my ram for photoshop, not a download app if you have an older system or a small amount of ram this is even more important.as for the speed, i've noticed that my version (1.1.4) seems to intermittently have problems connecting to the trackers, i guess because the trackers are being hammered. i've also noticed whereas azureus will get to max speed pretty quickly, it can sometimes take utorrent much longer (as much as 2 hours) to connect to loads of seeds & peers and then i get blazing speeds.thank for this app
Grunthor Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 I've used Azureus for about one year now. Before that it was ABC which I didn't like very much at the time. After doing a fresh OS install recently, I happened to discover µTorrent (thanks to a p2pnet article) before getting around to reinstalling Azureus. I'm very happy with it and have no plans to use anything else at the moment. It's clean, simple, fast, and powerful. And this is only the beginning. The program will only get better as time progresses, where as with Azureus it's probably about as mature as we're going to see it get. I can see µTorrent becoming a very popular client, not just with the hardcore bittoreent crowd, but also the regular folk who need to download something quick that they've come across on the web, without any hassle. IPTV and podcasts come to mind for example. It won't be long until sites like those start recommending µTorrent to their user base.
durerca Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 I have a fast desktop that the family uses and an older 1GHz laptop for my use only. It's great to not be relying on Azureus anymore and its huge ram usage. Azureus had light cpu use which was nice but utorrent is light on cpu and unbelievably light on memory. Like other users have posted, it's nice to be able to multitask again while having my torrents downloading which is great considering I get lots of 4GB files and so my app is open all the time. There are some drawbacks like a more limited queue feature set than Azureus but the development on utorrent is so quick and it's light system footprint outweighs anything else. It took me one day to make utorrent my default BT app.
