What.cd and Waffles ban Azureus and Deluge

[anon]

Isn't this more about making it easier for the staff/scripts to distinguish cheaters from 'bad' clients, rather than banning the clients a cheater uses?

One of the reasons they gave for banning Vuze is the amount of cheating coming from users running a mod of it, when that mod can spoof many other BitTorrent clients.

Unless there is a really easy way to move the +1000 torrent from different trackers and HDDs I'm seeding (some of them are not always active but I start them from time to time),
yes

there is actually. in utorrent. collect all .torrents in one folder.
- point the default downloading folder to your first hdd's seeding place
- copy all .torrents to a watch folder
- rehash them
- kill all non-rehashed .torrents
- restore them to another folder
- point dl folder to your second folder with your stuff
- copy all non yet rehashed torrents to watch folder again
etc etc

I moved to Vuze once utorrent "forced" the upgrade from 1.6.1 and it comes they were having callbacks and agreements with the MPAA.
I hate to think I'll have to use another client just for what.cd. It happened the same at PT and I ended up losing my account due to inactivity.

If what anon-sbi said is true (and obviously it is), Vuze's cheating mods can spoof any other clients. So, banning its "real" client won't solve a single bit the problem. It is just creating additional problems to the tracker.

It's a pity, as Vuze is hands down the most feature rich client of the torrent scene.

anon is not telling the whole truth.
He is talking about extreme mod but go peak into his site and you'll see them crying about losing shu mod.

You need an update In the end it wasn't true that Shu would stop coding new versions, and even if it had been that wouldn't have meant much

Who mentioned coding a new version?
I meant you lost Vuze so you can't use shu mode anymore.

You must be stuck in 2008. Shu Mod is no more.

Seems Mihai and his friends don't think like that.

[anon]

Oh, so you've read SB-I's version of this thread.

The name stuck even though the mod no longer goes by it. Just like some people call the client "Azureus" even though it was renamed to "Vuze" a long time ago.

Anyways, people on sbi are not that cheerful :-)

Good luck though. You'll need it in future.
