What.cd and Waffles ban Azureus and Deluge

[anon]

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

I can't speak for the rest but I try to be easy-going myself.

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

Oops, I'm so scared

Wow. A blow to the vuze community - which is small, but quite vocal at times, I have found . Some people are gonna protest and rage, for sure...

But no matter what other tracker admins think, this is potentially a huge change in the private torrent community, and the fact that the already small vuze sizebase will likely disintegrate into nothing, combined with the issues of vuze pointed out in the what.cd announcement, will probably mean in time vuze won't even be used or accepted at ANY major private tracker - except for maybe random ones here or there. But for any trackers connected to or similar to what.cd in some way - the scale of allow/ban for vuze has certainly been tipped suddenly one way - like in his week's Lost episode...

My first thoughts about it anyway...

Hmm upon second thought, maybe it won't make huge waves - as funkin said, he doesn't use w/w that much (I don't either), so occasionally opening a second client isn't too outrageous. But yeah let's see if there's some sort of domino effect over time...

Oh and "This move is being made in conjunction with our friends over at waffles.fm." - Always nice to read a neighbourly remark like that

Oh well.. guess I can just log in once in a while, bookmark things and buy 24h free leech to download with uTorrent and then move the torrents to my music drive directly. After my points are gone, then I have like a 60GB buffer until I hit 0.5 and go on ratio watch.

Because no way in hell will I move my around 500, mainly sorted to folders, torrents over to some client, which will most likely be banned elsewhere.

And yeah I also believe it's uTorrent fanboys annoyed over the brilliant Azureus/Vuze queuing system.

I'm not on waffles but on What this was posted as a method of hopefully helping you export your torrents:

In order to make the transition easier, we have given all users the ability to download a zip file with all of their snatches - click [download] next to the 'Snatched' stat on your profile. This also means that all users now have access to the collector - a feature to download all torrents by an artist, in a collage, or in your bookmarks.

If you use Vuze, please follow these steps to export your client's .torrent files (and thanks to sonicsnare for kindly sharing this info!):

Make a new folder, select all torrents, right-click or option-click->advanced->export->torrent
All your .torrent files are duplicated whether you had them or not.

Alternatively, you may click the [Download] link next to your 'Seeding:' statistic in your profile to download all .torrent files you are currently seeding.

We apologize for the short term inconvenience this will cause, and thank you for your cooperation.

That is torrent files.. and in case I'm wrong and it's the actual files, then where would I move +1TB of files?

It's a fucking bad decision made by staff. They gave no good alternatives. They only have alternatives.

They only care about their torrents. How about they consider the vast amount of torrents from other sites, downloaded to other locations. It would take me hours upon hours to get everything seeding again in uTorrent or any other client. I work between 8 and 14 hours a day. No way am I going to spend my weekend serving their uTorrent God-complex.

All you would have to do is set Utorrent's download directory to where vuze downloads to.

Then put the .torrent files you downloaded from the link into Utorrent, and it'll automatically start seeding them. You don't need to move anything.

so occasionally opening a second client isn't too outrageous.

It really isn't. Especially if a person only downloads an album or two here and there. And until it's actually been proven by others that Deluge reports to the tracker more than you have actually downloaded, then I'm going to stick with it. It's the client I'm happiest and most familiar with.

Ok I will spell it out for you. My files are all over the place. Music folders by date of download, music folders by music folder/Starting letter/artist/album, DVD folders, x264 folders, xvid folders, series folders, Hd folders, programs folders, documentary folders, ebook folders, upload folder etc. etc. spread out over three drives + laptop drive.

It would take ages.

I'll be waiting for ca_aok's rutorrent setup guide.
I'm still very angry with this decision. It actually means no one can detect those Vuze mods if used correctly. It's a declaration of lost war.
They may say whatever they want, but this is the real interpretation.

I'm really angry with this decision and for potentially having influence on other site's decisions to ban Vuze too.

What a load of crap.

I'll be sure to stick it in the BT guides forum here when it's done

As for queueing, can someone explain to me why you feel it's necessary? People always seem to talk about this feature as if it's the best thing since sliced bread, whereas in reality I don't see how it's doing anything great for you or your ratio.
