Re: [ubuntu-uk] BIttorent Clinets (was iPod Management)
Not sure how much is actually going to be made Open, but certainly some of the first modules have been made free by Sun. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alec Wright Sent: 14 August 2007 13:29 To: British Ubuntu Talk Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] BIttorent Clinets (was iPod Management) On Tue, 2007-08-14 at 12:34 +0100, Dave Murphy wrote: > The other day I discovered Deluge - http://deluge-torrent.org/ - which > provides most features anyone will want, and it has become my standard > client.

Also you can try 'tail /var/log/messages' and 'tail /var/log/syslog' for more info. One of these may tell you what just failed and caused the network connection to drop out. -Gav -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] some user losing internet access
nice thought, but there's no firewalls installed :(. I'm at a bit of a loss... it's basically a pretty standard install. the only extras are ssh and fail2ban, but neither of those should effect connections (that I'm aware of). looks like I'm gonna ave to re-install :( time and messages appreciated.

I've always avoided Azureus because of the bloat. uTorrent was all I'd ever use apart from the 'official' client and the one in Ubuntu. -- Dave Murphy - http://www.schwuk.com signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] iPod management
Actually Deluge isn't very well supported at all - there's only one guy working on it, and releases/fixes are rather infrequent. There's a native linux client for Azureus or, if you're using gnome and don't mind a few KDE libraries, there's KTorrent which I find very good also..

Although the built in bittorrent client does work, it is pretty basic - especially if they're used to the features of Azureus or uTorrent. The other day I discovered Deluge - http://deluge-torrent.org/ - which provides most features anyone will want, and it has become my standard client. It's not in the repositories (yet), but the developers provide .debs for Feisty i386 and amd64. -- Dave Murphy - http://www.schwuk.com signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
