Thanks, I'll take a look.  I was putting up with utorrent until this 
weekend when they seemed to forget to mute the commercials.  Or, 
probably more likely, started selling commercial time with forced audio.

Since uTorrent has finally pissed me off (adverts are now randomly
un-muted), what something good to replace it?

utorrent is the best client.  Azureus is good beccause
of the plugins, but other than that utorrent is much
more lighter on the resources.

The trick to any torrent based download is the
configuration of the router/firewall, torrent client
and the computer itself.

It's all very confusing at first, but if you need help
drop me a line and I can help you configure
everything.

By the way, the router/firewall config is the one
people don't do properly and that really screws up the
download by giving you slow speeds.

I am right now on vacation in ireland and the place
where I am staying at has 8 Mb DSL.  Maxing out that
connection is a piece of cake if properly configured.

Cheerz!!!

BTW, Ireland is very very very beautiful

Re: [H] Torrent Client

2006-08-30 Thread Scott Sipe
I've been away in mac land for so long I haven't tried uTorrent much  
(though it was one of the first programs I downloaded on my new comp).


Does it support the distributed tracker system (DHT) that Azureus  
does? I've often had problems getting in contact with a particular  
tracker (down, whatever) and the distributed tracker database has  
made it all still work. Would be a make or break feature for me.
