Use µTorrent, pneub.
I use Tornado, as recommened by Chebus, many moons ago. I see no reason for fancy dan (no offence Dan) GUIs. A wee grey box is all one needs.
However if this µTorrent of which you speak is better then I will give that a whirl. What say you Professor Clerk.
Yes, I think you should give it a whirl.
Titchy ram footprint and some other stuff I can't be arsed typing.
Azureus has this thingie:

I have no idea what it does, but I bet it's something unbelieveabibblywibbly cool.
It's the London Eye, dude. :dabs:
Oh, that's shit.
I shall install it forthwith and give it the proverbial whirl.Quote:

I never install stuff if I don't have to because of the registry fecking upery.
In short, I don't know. Maybe. Yeah, yes you would.
Willdo skip.
Which one was the yes to.:blink:
I've lost track, mate. Stop asking so many questions already. Jeez.
I was just asking, like.
Yeah, well what did I ever do to you - was it really so bad?
The sandwich debacle for one thing.
The Doctors say my recovery is now almost complete.
Oh, that time when you were pwned by my Mam's logic.Quote:

lest we forget you can still use the old auto speed thing, which is fantastical

None whatsoever.
high ping = bad. transfering too much data at once causes high ping :dabs:Quote:

Yeah but what does google have to do with it.
Remember I'm a recovering rodaholic, so these are genuine questions.
Oh and your lest we forget was OK, however some people may take it as being in bad taste as it normally relates to our war dead.
google is like the biggest site on the interweb, so if you can't get a good ping to them it's almost certainly a problem at your end.Quote:

So what does the auto-speed hactually do?
What he said.Quote:

Is it a seperate prog you run while you are downloading or is it an automatic thing.
I'm not offended about the other thing mate, but thanks for saying it anyway. I was just suggesting that some people may be. Almost certainly no-one here, but there are hyper-sensitive people :earl:
It's built in to the program and gives a link to wiki which says this:
:whoosh:Quote:
Auto-speed attempts to match Azureus's upload speed with your network connection's current traffic to avoid overloading it.
It works by selecting a number of other Azureus instances from the Distributed Database as ping targets. It then periodically pings these to obtain an average latency for your connection. In order to baseline these pings Azureus needs a period during which little network activity occurs. If this doesn't happen naturally within a period after startup it will temporarily force the upload limit to a very low value to obtain the baseline (it may repeat this at other times when the ping targets change)
Once a baseline ping time is available, auto-speed adjusts the upload speed based on the observed difference between the current ping time and the baseline.
There are many different types of connection with very different characteristics. Unfortunately auto-speed is currently not clever enough to optimise its behaviour for all scenarios automatically so you may need to adjust its parameters to maximise its effectiveness. To do this you need to select a 'mode' of 'advanced' in the configuration.
The three main parameters of interest are the increase/decrease amounts and the 'choking ping'. The first two affect how quickly auto-speed changes Azureus's upload setting in response to ping latency changes. The third is the latency that Azureus will consider as an absolute indicator of choking (although it also considers an additional factor based on the measured baseline ping time)
I second that :whoosh:
Dave, explain the above in layman's terms.
Maybe you should explain "layman's terms" for him.
However try to keep it simple.
To put something in layman's terms is to describe a complex or technical issue using words and terms that the average individual (someone without professional training in the subject area) can understand, so that they may comprehend the issue to some degree.
You should really have used the word esoteric in the above. Cognoscenti would also have helped in the quest for irony.
PS I know you weren't being ironic, it was a very good explanation.
thnx, I stole it from wiki:lookaroun
My own description would be along the lines of:
To describe something as if you were talking to a glebe.
