xipax Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 i just found out from p2pnet about new bittorrent client which will go public soon. so need complete critical review about it. and perhaps utorrent can put the same feature into it...Tribler - Social Based - [ABC Client] - www.tribler.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 interesting idea.the geographic info tab kicks ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osm0sis Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 that map is just a different way they've decided to display all the sourceforge mirrors.. uTorrent isn't open source and thus isn't on SF, but hey, if they end up getting enough mirrors i suppose it's possible.edit: sorry i misread that, didn't realise you meant the map in the program. looks like a very interesting product, though.

Alpha-Toxic Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I see they are also making a linux client (Keramik window decorations on some screenshots), if so I might just try it once it is released. But I'm sticking to µTorrent for windows.EDIT: It looks like they are using GTK1 for the linux GUI, wich is ugly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Ugh...GTK1? Are they still stuck in 1996? Damn...thank God µTorrent won't use that crap (hopefully). :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenkaz Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 The map looks cool, but wouldn't it use quite a lot of space(and increase the bandwith that uT uses?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Toxic Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 http://www.tribler.org/index2.php?layer0=99Using our software increases your tracability. Every Tribler software installation has a unique identifier based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography, which helps the software to keep track of friend and foo. In the past, we have conducted the largest crawl of the Bittorrent P2P system. We will also be crawling the Tribler network in order to detect any inefficiencies and shortcomings in our P2P software. However, this will also show us how the software is used, including the occurence of illegal activities.hmmm....The map looks cool, but wouldn't it use quite a lot of space(and increase the bandwith that uT uses?)It shouldn't increase the bandwidth, as even now µTorrent can resolve the country flag of an IP without much extra cost. It will encrease the overall bloat though, I saw the install .exe is over 5MB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinlight Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I give this an A minus minus!It looks terrible and I cant see any feature I would use. BT isnt meant to be private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
