More resources than Azureus? Is that even possible? I thought that was the resource hog king of torrent. Give bitcomet a try and tell me what u think. Works great for me.

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #82 on:** August 01, 2006, 12:29:10 PM »

no no yur rong azureus uses java so that it uses much less resources than other torrent clients bub

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #83 on:** August 01, 2006, 12:41:01 PM »

Nooo faddah BECAUSE it is java it uses MORE resources. I dont know who told you that it uses less, but that is the exact opposite from the truth. The bigger the torrent, the more memory and CPU cycles it uses.

Not taking away from the fact that it is indeed a great program, it, like a lot of other java programs, are resource hogs.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #84 on:** August 01, 2006, 01:17:42 PM »

yeah, I have to agree. Used that Azureus before and it was a hog. Most java apps tend to be heavy on resources.

But from my readings on the net, they say the performance is poor without port forward.

Is it that BitComet works great even without port forward? That is, max speed?? (Say 32K downloads if you got a 256k DSL connection)

Yes that's right. It works at the max speed of the connection. On my 512 i get about 60-64, but speeds are also dependent on the number of seeders and leechers of the torent itself. Other that that, the bottleneck does not exist within the client itself (with or without port forwarding).

BitComeT is the best....Its really simple to use and it works fast

Problem with BitComet though is that it doesn't play well with private trackers...for instance, if you're on a private tracker, your upload stat is pretty important, unless you don't mind being seen as a major leech, but BitComet doesn't stick to the private tracker's announcer and so it uploads to people outside of the private loop...so when you think you've uploaded your fair share to the private peeps, in reality, you're nowhere near your quota.

Personally, I use ABC...a very simple torrent client, doesn't need port forwarding or any of that, and just does its job.

Thats why I stay away from torrents with private trackers.

However i'll look into the ABC. I remember using it before but i cant remember why i stopped.

no love for utorrent awa lol?

small, efficient, yet full featured and very capable. ( case in point, it stole my head when i found out that i could schedule utorrent not to use as much bandwidth between the hours i like to listen to net radio and fall asleep, but spring back to full usage after that)

bitcomet used to be the real flick, but i think around .56 it started to be a bit too buggy for my liking, and a lot of trackers banned bitcomet clients a whle aback cuz of that decentralized option ( though you can disable it, i think)

i never had to mess with port forwarding to get utorrent to work tho... does this mean that it does it transparently?

Any idea as to when the service would be officially available for residential customers?

EmpireKing · « **Reply #91 on:** August 01, 2006, 06:41:19 PM »

does any of them move significantly faster than the rest

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #92 on:** August 01, 2006, 07:11:34 PM »

Not really, download speed is limited by actual bandwidth (obviously)

EmpireKing · « **Reply #93 on:** August 01, 2006, 07:35:52 PM »

i jus thought that one mite hav some kind of accelerator[that acctually works]

TrinireturnofGamez · « **Reply #94 on:** August 01, 2006, 09:36:46 PM »

i know the Fileplanet site has a compression system that speeds up the download about 30% , i would get real 45-50 KB/s of it , but more than one file has been corrupt off it ...

If EVDO is available to the public and DSL bandwidth isn't increased i swear i will find the CEO of TSTT house and stone it.... and he cyant do me nutting cause i am a minor

Yeah, well at least one man willing to sacrifice his wealth and freedom to ensure that his bretherin gets the speed increase they deserve.
