Utorrent Or Azureus?

[Vorporeal]

1. µTorrent isn't open source
2. It's not Utorrent but : µTorrent (Thats the Greek µ and it's pronounced as "Mu"

For clarification - it's pronounced exactly like the pokemon "Mew".

OT:

Some BitTorrent client could be quite useful, actually. It could be a way of distributing files without using up website bandwidth (as someone mentioned above). I know of many websites that release their software this way, and it works very well.

haha thanks for that.

Another possible solution for you guys as well...

use your home PC for torrents that you can queue up with Pandora. For instance, Mininova has favorites or bookmarks, I forget what it calls them. You can have most popular BT clients monitor an RSS feed pretty easily. Most of the good BT websites also allow you to have an RSS feed of your own favorites/bookmarks. Combine the two and you can just browse the website, flag a torrent as a favorite, and your home PC automatically starts downloading it the next time it refreshes the RSS feed.

However, the name of it is 'MICRO' torrent given to it by the fact that when it was first becoming popular, it was about a 500kb executable and that's all you needed to get it going.

OHHHH! He told you, Lois! So bam!

U-torrent 4 lyfe.

But seriously, they shouldn't make a partly Greek name and expect everyone to know how to pronounce it.

µ is short for micro

If Python gets working, then Deluge would be great.

utorrent is evil, azureus isnt that great.. bitcomet and bittornado isnt complex enough... i vote for HALITE- you guys need to check it out. halite is real open source, but i dont remember if it was on linux though. i highly recommended and imo runs better than utorrent. halite also takes up less ram than utorrent! I'm a little disappointed that no one knows about it here...

 

[adsharma23]

utorrent is microtorrent just like the SI prefix micro (either 10 ^ -9 or 10 ^ -6)
i would recommend rtorrent as the easiest and definitely fastest bittorrent client for any computer especially portable computers

Thinking more likely ctorrent. http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/...rrent&arch=

I am using Deluge 0.9.09 on Arch Linux. I would like to see it, Transmission or a torrent app that is just as full-featured ported.

Who cares? I can run utorrent on my 486 packard bell system just fine. If you need something more memory efficient than that then you're just being stupid picky.

Yup, your right , I forgot that you pronounce the U different in English then in Dutch.

I'll vote KTorrent too, as Azureus is so huge and bloated nowadays 99% of the CPU cycles would go to Vuze and the leftover 1% would be divided into actually downloading and writing to flash.

 

[javaJake]

You can turn Vuze off.

But Azureus is definitely big. If I were to torrent on the Pandora, I'd want something sleek and minimalist. If.

Wuts the max download speed for the pandora? the ds is really slow!

 

[Kyo]

You can torrent on a DS? That seems... useless

um:
1. it was an "add", i said imo it was faster right?
2. the pandora doesn't have that much ram
3. halite is full open source.

even better, ctorrent Enhanced (i had it build in oe)

but i think i will probably just use some remote client (e.g. the web one) for mldonkey on my home pc, so that it will download even when the pandora will be offline (probably most of the time: i don't have access to wi-fi when i usually go)

No doubt as fast as any other wireless computer on the network. The DS is slow because it's using old Wireless-B technology. The Pandora's going to have B, G, and A.
