What.cd and Waffles ban Azureus and Deluge

[Cabalo]

I'll be waiting for ca_aok's rutorrent setup guide.

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

I thank you for that. Already tried to install it on ubuntu 9.10 a couple of times and always had some problems. Can't remember now, but I suppose they were related to permissions or sth like that.

[ca_aok]

I just posted it now. I ran it on debian but *in theory* it should work fine for ubuntu. The only real differences would be the occasional package name and default install directories.

Ok little oftopic but plz help

My frn few hrs ago invited me 2 what. a invite is in my mailbox (have not created acc)

the problem is I m using mainly uT 1.6.1 and Delgu (where uT161 is not allowed ) And NOT WILLING 2 CHANGE or UPGRADE.

So can any one tell me if what allows uT 1.6.1

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

I can definitely understand that. Putting aside whether you agree with them or not, it may well influence other sites to almost blindly (or not so blindly, but just as readily) follow suit.

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.

Yeah I would love to hear a proponent of queued seeding shed light on it. From what I've heard so far, it DOES sound brilliant and all, in that you can effectively "seed" (or to put it better, "share" or "make available") more torrents at the same time, while keeping your connection unclogged and manageable.
OR am I wrong in that? when you're "seeding" a torrent (in utorrent) but not actually connected to other peers, maybe it doesn't actually "clog up" your connection? If not, I see no use for queued seeding when you can simply run the much lighter utorrent and actively seed the same amount of torrents.

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

Thanks for the suggestion m8 but I'm talking about 6 HDDs with sharing material all of them organized with the same structure something like

-scene
--movies
---xvid
---x264
---dvd
---bd
--music
---mp3
---flac
--apps
--games
--elearning
--tvseries
---a
----season 1
-----ep1
-----ep2
.
.
.
-nonscene
--movies
---xvid
---x264
---dvd
---bd
--music
---mp3
---flac
--apps
--games
--elearning
--tvseries
---a
----season 1
-----ep1
-----ep2
.
.
.
-temp

I share the same things in DC so it has to be organized. A lot of the nonscene are also renamed in order to catalogue them to my media center. I'm not going to spent a week changing all these just because staff think that 2 GB of memory is something I can't afford
That was another bad joke

So can any one tell me if what allows uT 1.6.1

That being that last version without any BitTorrent Inc. "influence", they do.

[QPD]

1.6.1 One of the best! except form anon's 1.7.7 remastered edition!

[anon]

I never modded 1.6.1 or 1.7.7. I started with 1.9, mostly to make it emulate 1.8 after discovering the wonderful uTP and how it magically speeded my downloads up.

Your thoughts?

You wanna know my thoughts?

It's fucking cheaters like YOU who use modified Azureus versions who are responsible for this.

Thousands of honest and good Azureus users like myself have to suffer now, because you and your cheating friends in your shitty forum ruin it for all.

There used to be a time when known cheaters were banned from FST. Nowadays they can happily spam the forum.

You are a plague for the private tracker scene. You're not only a cheater yourself but also teach people how to do it.

I can't use my favourite client on the best music trackers now because cheaters like YOU exploit open source software.

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.

What he said - not sure what the hoopla is about switching clients and moving directories. Why would you move them? utorrent (at least on windows) has the option to set download location er torrent.. of course if you have 1000 torrents you'll have to do it manually for each but I've done it before for 700+ (when my windows crashed, purging the utorrent .dat files - back up EVERYTHING on windows lol). Of course i have tried utoorent for mac and it sucks - rtorrent is good though if cumbersome with cmd lines. And there is always rutorrent GUI...

Personally i use utorrent 1.8.5 but I'm not upgrading to v2.0 for a while, until all the dust settles. Waffles.fm seem intent on pushing it and what.cd too with this uTP, but i am very wary of any protocol that preferentially connects to one client over another. that in itself will create a one-company market if allowed to happen. No client should be whitelisted that behaves like that imo as it thus puts other clients at a disadvantage even if it is only "for a little while" in a swarm. I don't know but it would be best if this uTP thingamajig could be and is mandated to be turned off on private trackers - use it on demonoid!
