antisuck Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Someone posted a thread on genmay about a month ago (just before 1.1.2 came out), once the reseeding/ratio issue was fixed I switched permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sj26 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I got sick of 150MB RAM / 12% CPU usage with Azureus.I searched for a non-resouce-intensive torrenting app via Google with the resolve of making one if I couldn't find one. I found µTorrent. Hooray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rascallion Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 demonoid.com sourced from a newsgroup shared with the masses,( trapping us all and shutting us down), thats my 10 cents my 2 cents are free.My2centsITS TOO GOOD NOT TO BE A SET UP! WHY IS THIS NOT OPEN SOURCE? WHY DOES IT NOT HAVE TO BE INSTALLED, HOW DOES IT UPDATE WHEN IT IS RUNNING, ONLY FLASH ETC DOES THAT, NOT AN APP THAT RUNS ON YOUR MACHINE. I THINK THEY ARE COMING FOR US NEXT its azureus that you monitor (like a chatroom), you dont actualy monitor all the resources it uses on "YOUR" system at all do you, its minimal for what is actually happening in the thing. Source codes aside, "WE ARE NEXT MAKE NO MISTKES" They "HONEY TRAPPED" The Scene" with mega servers and stuff, this is the ultimate client it only stands to reason that the 20 odd % of total internet bandwidth consumers(us the BT users)are next. Screw the MPAA and the RIAA, we stop piracy by not buying pirated movies and music. make everything cheaper and you know piracy dies.

roningurl Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I found a link to µTorrent just before it hit v1.1.However, I did not take it seriously until v1.1.2. and 1.1.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyspawn Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 found it as a alternative for XBT, great program. But isnt developed really fast. Only some minor releases. And the program had problem with not finishing torrents and kep stuck at 99%. He still didnt find it, think he is rewriting the source all over. So now i stepped over to utorrent, some day there will be webbased support then ill be totally happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
