Torrentstorm 1.1

[sam71]

Does this mean u need shadow's client installed for TS to use shadow's core?
so what is the point then??? me, i deleted TS and went back to shadow's...
doesnt make sense to install one program on top of another.

its not like that. all it means it that is build on it. u dont have to install a program on top of another. it already includes it in a way

Strange how it was defaulted to 5.86, as i have just reinstalled and trying it out again... and now i have it set to 5.87. if the speed is same as shadow's then i will start using this more or even exclusively.
Thanks a bunch man.

Only problem my IE works badly when dl's are high.

I actually reported that to the creator of Torrentstorm as a bug.
Turned out it isn't a bug but a deliberate choice of him, cause 5.8.7 was released literally a few hours before he released TorrentStorm.
He then chose to default to 5.8.6 as he didn't know if the latest had any problems. (a sensible action if you know the history of the Shadow's client...)


So everybody who just installed TorrentStorm be sure to go to:
View -> Settings -> Downloader Version
and choose the 5.8.7 core.

When using Torrrent Storm and downloading a torrent file and then opening the same file with another program such as Azureus, the file will not resume at the % complete...for example say you started a download with Azureus and it got to 24%....then u decided to use Torrent Storm so u opened the same torrent and everything checked up ok and downloaded ok....so you downloaded to 56%...then u decided to switch back to Azureus, here is where the problem lies...instead of opening at 56% it will open back at the 24%, anyone know y?

Azureus has a feature where it will 'remember' to which point it has downloaded a file and automatically resume on that point. It's called 'Fast Resume'.

To turn it off goto Configuration -> Files Tab and deselect 'Fast Resume'
Now it will always check a file or folder before downloading.

Wow! You just saved me A LOT of time and trouble, Thx! I couldnt figure out why the hell it kept resuming short,thx again!
