ludde Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Good question.It could be one of those:* you-torrent* microtorrent (because µ means micro)* mytorrent (because µ is pronounced like my)I don't really know how it's pronounced I usually say "you torrent" because it looks like a u./Ludde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoovious Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Ok, maybe I've just been suffering with Windows bloatware for so long, and haven't used programs this small since the '80's, but this just doesn't look right, so I have to ask...I downloaded the 1.1b88 beta...I only got 83,456 bytes...This isn't just a loader? This is the whole program?!It's just been forever since I've downloaded a program I could fit on a 5-1/4" SS/SD floppy...This is the whole thing? Did I miss anything here?

ludde Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 It's the whole program It was designed to be space efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludde Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 It is actually pronounced as ~ni (somehow nasal ni thats why that wave before ni )No, it's pronounced like "mu" so I guess it would be muTorrent if you choose that path.

Smoovious Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 It's the whole program It was designed to be space efficient.It certainly is that. Tho it ate up a lot of RAM, according to my resource meter, but I'm hoping that was just a symptom of the crash report I made elsewhere on the forum.-- Smoovious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoovious Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Did it use a lot of RAM? It only uses around 2MB for me.We're probably using different environments... next time I try it I'll see if I can find out exactly what is being used with TaskInfo... but yeah, it tied up enough resources to throw my mostly-green resource-meter down to having a single red bar in it...This happened when I started transferring the torrent's contents...-- Smoovious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 it should be pronounced as 'mju' as the camera from olympus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 BTW it's called µtorrent because is small.µ is 1x10^-6 or 1/1,000,000 so it's really small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 µ is pronounced as "mu" (muTorrent sounds nicer than microTorrent also =P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryogenix Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Is Mu pronounced "moo" or "mew"? My math teacher pronounces it like the former, my physics teacher, the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 As far as I know, it pronounced "mew", and not "moo" (is it a cow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klas_klattermus Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Mu sounds like a cow-sound to me , i guess it should be called micro or micron because of the small size and the small amount of RAM it uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I say "mu-torrent" (mm-yoo). This is a great program! By the way, how does the data caching work for torrent downloads? Or is the disk accessed instantly when bits need to be written? Azureus uses a lot of memory because of its disk caches. Does your program not use disk caches in memory?
