gafoorgk Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 i do not agree with all of them. auther must have written these without knowing how some of these features could be done in a nice way. i believe author might have got bored of some poorly designed applications.

miluthui Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I think only the web browser is not needed, the others are fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paritybit Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 You can build a web frontend for utorrent on top of it. uTorrent is not a webserver. if you want that stuff azureus is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please keep utorrent simple. If it ever gets to the point where these useless features are added, I will probably use the last version available without them and never update. Except for bugs and/or necessary features to improve the performance of the program, utorrent is fine right now for me. Most of you want to add ridiculous things to utorrent. It almost looks like a few of you(judging by your ideas) sit and think real hard for a reason just to post in the request section....So what if these requests won't bloat the app that much? Alot of the ideas will just ugly-up the GUI. Oh, and the "colored text" request that I've seen in several threads needs to be on this "Not Needed" list as well.

xerya Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Add distributed database to that list.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paritybit Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Add distributed database to that list..I disagree, this is a good feature and adds to uTorrent's ability to download effectivly, unlike the other features listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uTP Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I agree, too.Maybe a Add-On support would make this things usable, for those who whant it, and the others who want a small cleint didn't download it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ondjultomte Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 agreed, and there is plenty more features that shouldnt be in utorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anime Janai Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I disagree.I think uTorrent would be a much more interesting program with some additional features. How about adding a 3D MMORPG game into it? Or a nice word processor so that I can edit some files? I have plenty of space on the hard drive, so a slightly larger program that needs lots of external drivers, codecs, and status storage is not a problem. uTorrent can also be improved if it has SpiceLab and Mathematica built in!!!!!Seriously, I think that the first main criterion in evaluating a new feature is whether or not that feature belongs in a BITTORRENT client (as opposed to a "swiss jacknife" client).

peterpaulw Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 A few more things that I think should never be features of uTorrent: * A built-in Tracker * A Torrent Maker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paritybit Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 These days a BT client without DHT is a bit like a donkey/mule client without Kad (which is the same as DHT from memory(not sure on this)). It is included in bittorrent official which I concider to be the benchmark for a basic client. And with the way trackers are offline or being taken down these days I think DHT is a good idea.

Animorc Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'm totally agreeing to this. Who would need to chat through the torrentclient?And the webbrowser has to be the worst thing in BitComet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 And the webbrowser has to be the worst thing in BitComet.I have to admit, BitComet was my first and only bittorrent client before uTorrent, I avoided the java apps with vengance thanks to Limewire (although I still use Limewire/Frostwire) and BC seemed to fit my ideal of a good winapp. 0.56 is where I picked up and it was all good, only prob back then would have been column sorting via header which is sort of trivial (was the first thing I checked in uTorrent, yesss). Then the web browser appeared, eugh. I just avoided it. Months went past and 0.60 came along with Preview, which prompted me to preview uTorrent after seeing it mentioned a few days earlier. Never looked back.True, uTorrent hasn't run smoothly for me from day one, but that doesn't bother me too much and I'm still impressed everytime I use it.DHT should definitely be supported IMO also.
