Bt++

[Yer_maw]

hi i just started using bt++ this evening, and it works fine apart from it uses all of my available RAM and all my available virtual memory and the computer runs at a snails pace with only one dload. i have an athalon 1800 and 512mb of ddr ram and a 512k cable connection. surely this cant be the case? or do i just have to live with it, if so, im back to kazaa! does anyone know why this happens or a better client that handles memory better?

cheers.

What Bt cleint are you using. Old offical bittorrent version was a big memory hogger. Most ppl use Shad0ws Cleint (http://bt.degreez.net/). I have a PIII with 192 sdram and i never had a problem like this.

Try Shadow, maybe try adjusting your upload speeds according to you connection.
Also, no, it's not a resource hog, I'm running less than you just fine...

I am talking about about the Old official Bittorrent 3.2. Shad0ws version is the best one out there.

bt ++ is the worst client you could ever choose, for 1 it put bad data into the swarm, you think everything is fine but others see
piece failed hash check, re-downloading

its not a problem to the people that use shad0ws client and others with shad0w&#39;s core
we block you from connecting to us, so you never see our data and you don&#39;t send us fubared bit&#39;s of the file


ditch bt++ and tell anyone that still uses it how messed up that client is

I tried bt++ for all of ten minutes, because most of my downloading is done on my &#39;server&#39; box, which has only 32 Mb RAM. It wouldn&#39;t accept torrent files, and was majorly slow.

Shad0w&#39;s client worked great for me but I have problems with dial up anyway.. so i&#39;ve stopped using bit torrent.
