Torrentstorm 1.1

[abu_has_the_power]

i know a few people here use it. how is it?

[CornerPocket]

TorrentStorm is okay, tested for a few weeks. I prefer Shadow's client better. I see better speeds with it.

Everyone has there preference, just as matter of what you are comfortable with. Never hurts to test things out. Some clients may work better for others.

It's odd if there's a speed difference with Torrentstorm as it uses shadow's as core BT application.
You can even select which version you want to use.

I've never noticed any speed difference between Torrentstorm and Shadow's

Yes it uses the same core, however the latest vS.5.8.7 is not included despite allowing a version selection. I prefer the 100+ kB/s over 45-50kB/s that I was getting while using..............Again, everyone has there preference.

I use it and like it, however there is a bug that gives me problems now and then.

At times it will decide that any torrent I try to open needs to be in eternal idle mode. No matter how many times I try to start the torrent, it will immediately return to idle mode. I usually need to uninstall, clean the registry and reinstall. A reboot does no good.

Another thing that happens is that after a while (a few days) I cannot right click on the torrent and choose torrentstorm from the menu of programs to open it with(it dissappears from the menu). This goes right along with the above problem. It is solved at the same time.

I saw this posted about at their forum with no solution yet.

Other then that problem, I really like it. Very customizable.

Dropdown box only had S.5.8.6 for me, older version perhaps

Not doubting the program, just prefer Shadow&#39;s client.

works pretty good. do i have to enter my ip add in the settings?

[gumbydancin]

I use it and I&#39;ve never run into any problems or slower speeds. I use the 5.8.7 core and no you shouldn&#39;t need to put your ip addy in abu.
