Why would I want to use that when Personal Torrent Collector is superior? Java applications SUCK BALLS.

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

is this a BT client? What does it offer over Shad0w's experimental? I'm quite happy with Shad0w's, it works great.

Shadow's expiremental (now called BitTornado btw) is the best for individual files, but Azureus is the best for a whole lotta files. Had tons of control features (upload cap, download cap, numer of active torrents at a time, number of peers, etc.), auto resume, auto moving of done torrents, and will stop seeding after a certain ratio is reached.

[GhettoFob]

Can you host the Azureus2.jar file separately? I'm using the Linux version and the servers are getting hammered.

 

[WhiteWonder]

So, it is good for torrents?

 

[Anubis]

ive been useing azureus for about a week i was useing shadows, for some reason my torrents now DL at like 200k/s with azureus and i can have a bunch going at once, ive dled like 12 gigs in about a week

I moved from Shadow's to PTC and saw a dramatic increase in speed and decrease in system resources used. Azureus, like Shadow's, is built in Java. Java blows huge goat balls. Seriously. Really big ones.

 

[GhettoFob]

I've tried some of the CVS versions and for the most part they were good. Some started using up a lot of ram after a while though.

I max out my 4 Mbps connection on Shadow's so either you have a horriby outdated JIT compiler, or your computer sucks, or you just got a lucky torrent.

The secret to shadow : set minimun number of peers to 9999 (the max allowed). This will try to connect to EVERY peer out there, and is what makes it the best client out there. Some people consider this abuse, but if you got the con (I used it on my uni's link) it doesn't adversely effect performance. If you only got 512kb of upstream though, well, connecting to 300 clients has quite a bit of overhead . . .

Azureus is in my /home directory and I save files to a download folder on a different drive. It uses up more ram because I'm saving to a different drive?? And thanks for uploading the .jar file.

 

[aphex]

I just put both of them up on my site....

Azureus_2.1.0.0_Win32.setup.exe

and

Azureus2.1.0.0.jar

[TurtleMan]

where is a good bt site, beside suprnova ;D

 

[Silex]

Darnit. I don't wanna call Azureus crap (I'm sure it's just my lack of Java knowledge), but I've had two consectutive problems already trying to install it on Windoze Xp machines. Everytime I to execute it, I get the hourglass for 5s or so and nothing happens. I checked the FAQs and I tried doing the copy-paste bit to the java/javaw executable but no luck there. Help a poor sucker out as I've had to go back to ABC now which isn't all that bad, but I don't like the idea of all my ups/downs clumped in one view.

Another good site I go occasionally is http://www.torrentbits.org for random stuff and antoher GREAT one for asian music/vids is http://bunko.theppn.org which actually links you to like another 10 more sites. It's good to share bt sites because that means usually more seeds overall! I hope...

Yeah I am. Straight manual d/l from java.com. Any other suggestions? I searched all over google and it's strange that I can't find any Q's of a similar stature.

 

[TuffGuy]

[Kelemvor]

Any major differences betwen Azureus and ABC? Been using ABC for quite a while now.
