Agreed. µTorrent really is a beautiful piece of Windows software. Free, small footprint, low memory reqs., self-contained; no installation just run the .exe as-is. It's not intrusive. It doesn't gunk up your machine with stray DLLs, registry garbage, or anything like that. And for all of that, it's a really excellent, configurable, useable, non-constricting. Blah blah blah. I know I sound like an informercial. And written in C++, no MFC. This guy knows how to write Windows software. I really wish more developers would follow his lead.
I don't even need to try it to tell you that this Tribler thing is garbage by comparison. No matter how many bells and whistles it has.
Unfortunately BitTorrent Inc. bought µTorrent, so I don't know how certain its future is. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -7/+51Azureus is dead to me, ever since adding the bloatware VUZE to their client.
- wm2010russ, on 10/11/2007, -10/+45every time a story like this comes out, the client always turns out to be *****. ill just stick with azureus.
- cekim, on 10/11/2007, -1/+35Nice, it has an E.
- hbweb500, on 10/11/2007, -1/+34"After you’ve downloaded a few files the application should know if you are the Madonna type or more a Britney person."
So it can tell if I like classic crap or modern crap? Awesome! - bhavi, on 10/11/2007, -1/+30How many people will trust a "state-funded" bittorrent client!
Direct Link: https://www.tribler.org/ - RickvH, on 10/11/2007, -5/+30Altought it might not be the same in your country, the Netherlands is a really free country. Just because it's state funded doesn't mean that they have much influence on the project. Also, did you know that a lot of the p2p research has been done by universities? For example, the Kademlia network (also known as DHT) was created by a university.
- Ocelot13, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24um, i think everything has porn nowadays....
- Protoss, on 10/11/2007, -4/+26The webui is powered by javaSCRIPT...not java.
- cheeseron, on 10/11/2007, -4/+20It's a trap!
- NeoSporin, on 10/11/2007, -9/+22The new Azureus has many of these features ;)
- Mountaineer1024, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14hang on a second.
The deal breaker for you is that it HAS porn?
Woah, you must be that vocal minority I keep hearing about. :P - jerryparid, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14Don't download; I just tried it.
1. The screens doesn't seem to load.
2. There isn't a centralized in client search server.
3. I connect to random (?) people to share random movies/files.
Overall; too much hype. Stick to private tracker + uTorrent. - timelf123, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8buggy as hell! half the videos were choppy or didn't play at all, and bittorrent took 10 minutes to connect, whereas utorrent connected in 30 seconds for the same torrent.
- hello2usir, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7@haplo:
If the library is open source you can compile it right into your project. Otherwise you still have other options available to you to avoid gunking up a user's machine with randomly scattered files.
I don't really have a problem with programs using/installing external libraries, but when they install and unload a ton of them into strange forbidden areas of your hard drive, well it's just bad form. And to make matters worse the "uninstaller" often fails to remove said libraries, leaving it up to the user to figure it out. Windows developers for the most part either don't know or don't care how to write friendly software. - quietcynic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Wow. I thought they had only bought code from uTorrent. This saddens me.
- kazaru, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7umm, ever try ktorrent? Best linux client out there especially for kde users.
- chrono13, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8BitTyrant, the selfish bit-torrent client: http://www.slyck.com/story1371.html
"BitTyrant is already off to a rough start, having already been banned by two indexing sites. The creators already admit that a BitTorrent community filled with BitTyrant would probably degrade the network"
Only ***** use cheating clients. Don't be an *****. - shinynew, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6its easier to ask if is in any way connected to the internet.
It is.
Therefore it has porn. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I need a new client. Seeing as how Azureus shot itself not only in the foot, but also nutsack, heart and head for good measure by adding VUZE to their BT client (massive bloatware). Maybe this one will fill the void, who knows.
- Breepee, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6The state funds the uni, and the uni funds the project. If you think that's statefunding, fine. If you have a problem with that, then go live in a cave with bow and arrow, cause that's where you would be without statefunding.
Oh, and whiteraven: thing is, we don't monetize things like freedom, healthcare, crime... Some are just interested in solving the problem for everyone, no matter the cost. Believe it or not, outside your countrry such benevolence exists, and you know what: it even works. - Cabochon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I can't understand what the hell does youtube have to do with bittorrent.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7utorrent is great but no linux =( so its azureus for me. *isn't sure why utorrent wont get their head out of their ass*
- arcooke, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I selected a movie, gave it about 15 minutes to get going..
ETA: 1 Week, 4 Days
Download speed: 0.3KB/sec
Next generation my ass. I'll stick with µTorrent. - vagrantwade, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5I have been using torrent clients for many a years and uTorrent is by far the smoothest operator of them all.
- Haplo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6"And written in C++, no MFC. This guy knows how to write Windows software. I really wish more developers would follow his lead."
Sadly, that's most of the time impossible: hand coding your own libraries. Software would become prohibitive expensive. - pixelat3d, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3They have a word for this sort of overzealous software ... bloatware.
- richter, on 10/11/2007, -5/+8I'm sure it's crossed your mind, but WINE runs utorrent really well. I've run it that way for months and months that way. I primarily use it in Linux for the webUI but the regular interface works well enough in my limited experience.
- Dementual, on 01/27/2008, -1/+4Works fine for me.
- mykos, on 10/11/2007, -5/+8I don't think I'd feel completely safe with my government overtly monitoring my activities. It's bad enough that they do it in secret.
- fucayama, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Sorry but I don't see the point in rss torrents if they are not auto-downloading?
Also there are planty of not-so-private private trackers where you're highly unlikly to end up with fakes and once the filter is set up properly I have no worries about dupes etc. - Soulglow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3If you're on a mac and want something as light as μtorrent, try Transmission:
http://transmission.m0k.org/ - PathDaemon, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5WTF is up with all the new apps being Intel Mac only? Did t3h Steve spend all that time talking about Universal Binaries for nothing?? PPC needs love too.
- OdinsFury, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Looked at the screens but didn't download it. If I find out it does something that I'd want it to do that Utorrent can't I'll download it. Otherwise it's just a bloated bit torrent client.
- Infekted, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2isn't the new Azureus like this?
i'll wait till a million people uses this.
till then i'll stick to azureus and uTorrent. - YuriSakazaki, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I still use OG Azureus. It's still available for download on their site.
- AndresLO, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2get a load of this:
PermID: Permanent Identifier of peers to enhance the security of Bittorrent (https://www.tribler.org/PermID)
"At present, BitTorrent does not require strong authentication of peers" Yeah, and that's the way I LIKE it. I'm a uT man. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2i need rss torrents to start in stopped mode in utorrent while other manually added torrents start in started mode
much needed, i literally cannot use rss without that feature, otherwise ill have a billion files auto dl that i dont want aka: fakes
dear utorrent
get that ***** feature
thx - zackr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'm also a uT man.
Here's why:
I'm stuck behind a satellite connection on a public IP with NO WAY of ever getting the 'green fully connected' signal (can't access the router that controls the whole thing).
uTorrent is the only one which has worked for me on that connection in Windows, and it runs even better in Linux under WINE (no need to hack the net max halfopen setting).
So yeah, until Java becomes significantly more lightweight or I have a dedicated torrenting machine running azureus (if indeed azureus works in this connection, though I think it doesn't), I will be sticking with uTorrent. Tribler would have to be excessively better to tempt me. - froglars, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Do any Bittorrent clients allow for the IP filter to be controlled by the scheduler? uTorrent has an IP filter and a scheduler, but it won't let you schedule the filter's on/off status, sadly.
- wizzardnstuff, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2For the linux guys, check out Torrentflux (www.torrentflux.com). Otherwise I'm with half the other comments here, uTorrent does all I want, and the beta features look nice enough to not bother with this client.
- arcooke, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Will you people please quit with the ***** FTW ***** already?
- serpentor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2What types of situations would that be used for? (just out of curiosity, not knocking)
- Pensador, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Say no to bloatware.
- hjaltij, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2The mac version is almost 200mb. That's a little much for a bittorrent client.
- MWeather, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Bit-torrent, youtube, thumbnail bropwsing and video on demand? Sounds like Democracy player.
- chrislee149, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Anyone have a torrent file for it?
- .Steven, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Hmm.. sure it isn't called:
