Abc

[johnq86]

can someone give me a link to download the new abc bittorent client.and can someone give me some info on how good it is

ABC Download Page (http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/download.html)

ABC, is based on SHADOW's EXPERIMENTAL. Basically... it's good! :D

Shadow's is really good, but not for many torrents. ABC is perfect for a lot of torrents. It uses one process and one windows for everything, instead of one for each.

I would say, it's the second best client I've used. It uses litle resources, and is very configurable, including hvaing the feature to set timers on the torrents(usually people who have low bandwidth).

Also check out azureus (http://azureus.sourceforge.net/). It by far, has the most feature, and I seem to get the best speeds, but uses a bit more resources than ABC. It really just depends on taste....

Thanks Xero Grid ;)

I'm having a crack with this too ,i'm not happy with azureus it seems to become well unstable after a while. :)

ABC is the only client I've tried (other than the official one), and so far I'm really happy with it. I get decent speeds, and it has lots of nice features that make it similar to other P2P apps like K-Lite or eMule (but without the Search function).

i use ABC to :) it has great speeds.

hey thanks for the link of the new version..i like this one :)

How long before it becomes unstable for you? I would like to avoid this situation. :unsure:

btw, what operating system you running?

I have to agree with you. Ever since I tried Azureus, I ditched Shadows. I&#39;m getting better speeds, and I love the extra options it has.

I&#39;ll check out the link, thanks.

must be a messed up program...cause I followed your link ..downloaded ABC..installed it and it still says its the older version...And since Shadows released a new version the other day I suppose all these Shadows clones will release a newer one as well

I read about that in the forum on ABC&#39;s website. They just forgot to change the version number in some places.

[bulio]

I like shad0w&#39;s s-8.8 experimental better, just my 2 cents tho ;)

This is sort of like that age old question....

Question: What is the best wine to have with your dinner?

Answer: The kind you like.

Its the same thing here. The best client, is the one that works best on your system.

[Xero Grid]

Well, to the people that said thanx.... No prob&#33; :D Even though at the moment, I&#39;m using Azureus, but I&#39;m always switching. And maybe ABC version 2.6.3 will fix the version info in the about menu ;)

They forgot to change a lot of shit...cause when i check the option to check for new version it still says that 2.6.1 is the latest...
Someone being slack and careless

[nahan]

Hate to break it to you but Azureus is the new breed of bittorrent ,shame more arent trying to develop it.
Ancient chinese proverb says: dont knock it until you try it.

& how isnt it that bad mate :huh: ??

I said a few times i thought this client was the best.There&#39;s no knockin&#39; the features.The fact is its unstable a fuck..After seediing a while the speed starts to fluctuate all over the place.You set it on super seed n in randomly reverts back to seeding.I open certain programs ,the speed drops to zero & not from lack of resources either. :)

[Xero Grid]

Interesting. I never had those problems. The only problem I ever had with it was it using too much system resources. I downloaded the latest CVS and it&#39;s working like a charm now.

Maybe mate.Althou they dont always carry banners.I wanna keep using this client lol,until the problems for me hopfully gets fixed,i&#39;m not using something that could freeze/crash n lose unsaved work,settings i&#39;ve made in programs that run in the background ,firewalls blah blah needs to be shutdown or a reboot to be saved,info i wont get back,cause files to currupt.Or even kill a long hrs encoding....That aint my biggy issuse anyway mate it do run pretty stable on mine ,the functions just dont.

:)
