osm0sis Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 hah, i didn't even notice that 1.5 came out since i'm so used to looking at the newest beta and ignoring the stable portion of the main page table. oddly enough though, 1.4.2 b435 doesn't tell me to update to 1.5 (436).. bug?

boo Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 is there a difference between build 435 and 436 except for the µT version number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Good going...keep up the good work, ludde!! \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osm0sis Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 shouldn't the µT version number/build number be what it checks when it looks for an update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 it doesn't auto-update because 1.5 isn't on the auto-updater yet. It will be soon though. (we needed mirrors + load balancing script) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrill Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Great work Ludde, so much good stuff in this release compared to 1.4 I also submitted this to Digg here: http://www.digg.com/software/%C2%B5Torrent_1.5_released_ if anyone frequents the site Digg it and draw attention to this 'cause once everyone is running 1.5 Encryption gets a whole let more viable for everyone.Can't wait to see what you've got planned for 1.6 Ludde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg605 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hey, what is Peer Exchange? I read the FAQ, but it doesn't really explain what it is.I don't want DHT because I use Private Trackers that don't allow DHT, so should I have Peer Exchange turned on?

Shrill Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Thanks Firon, weird that... wonder why it sometimes turns my micro symbol into a weird looking µ thing? character-set issues? I'll look into it. EDIT: haha has to work the one time I tried to MAKE it do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(we needed mirrors + load balancing script)Hehe.. You really need mirrors even though the program is only ~150 KB ?

Firon Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Dawg605: private flag turns off PEX and DHT on a per-torrent basis, you should just leave it on Globally.tjobo: it's small, but there's a LOT of people getting it at once, hence why we need mirrors.
