What’s up with Bittorrent clients that show up as ‘n/a’ ?
If I ban them my download bandwidth goes up a lot!
Is this a hacked client ? Google provided no answers.

I think perhaps you don’t have enough space for it. BitComet allocates the file fully first (i.e. if the file is 4GB in size, it creates the 4GB file with its contents zeroed, but it still is 4GB in size). Try clearing some space, or you can use BitTornado which doesn’t pre-allocate files

I’ve been using bitcomet and when I went to download a large file, it said it couldn’t download because it was too large. What shall I do?

Deeplinking Considered Harmful
Standardizing audio/video on the web #N: deeplinking considered n/a Lucas raises a good point. I believe if an object is linkable, it is ethical to link to it. My host pair throws out…

I just use the official BitTorrent Python code. To get around the hashing I pass the –check_hashes 0 flag.

I too, am currently using Azureus, though I only use it when a new version of some linux distro comes out, so I don’t find myself all that knowledgeable about the different client features.

You can try out the new tool name BitComet. It’s fast, slim and a native implementation using C++.

I’ve been using PTC for a few months now, before that I used Shadows Experimental. I really like PTC’s simple clean interface, it tends to run a but slow on lower end machines but it works fine on mine.

i used to use shadow, then abc (based on shadow), but then moved to azureus since it seemed pretty up to date (one of the most active projects on sourceforge), and had a lot of nice features i didn’t see anywhere else.

abc just had a release, and they are touting that they are now based on bittornado 0.20 (i noticed you said it is currently at 0.30).
maybe i’ll switch back when they start to keep up to date with the underlying bittornado code.

azureus still gives me some problems. (crashes sometimes when i unminimize it, doesn’t remember the directory i saved the last file in, etc.)

Shareaza looks mighty cool, Neil! Thanks for sharing that. I’ve stayed away from EDonkey because of it’s confusing client interface – this, on the other hand, looks promising.

I also initially had doubts about BitTorrent support in Firefox, but my opinions have since changed considering the promise of BitTorrent.

I use "Yet Another BitTorrent Client", "ABC", its looking useful to me and its my first BitTorrent-Client.

I use Shareaza, mainly because it’s built-in to the P2P client and means I can have one less program running.

I hope that post-1.0 versions of Firefox will support Torrents. It’ll be yet another feature that will set it apart from other browsers.
