Bittorrent client

Hello guys.
I'm sure you're aware when you have a big list of anime and your friends have one even bigger, you feel the need for a 90 GB animation update. The point is that I need a good bittorrent client for this noble task (you know, you've to fight the boredom with all available resources!), but I'm sort of lost of which should I pick. I've tried transmission (rock solid, but is slow as hell), deluge (nitro-powered client, but is too unstable) and rtorrent (good, but kinda unfriendly). The last thing I've done is to go against my gtk+ and oss spirit and resigned to use the wine+utorrent combo, which gives me the best results (however, is not the idea).
Any suggestions for this poor guy?. Thanks in advance.
p.s. I'm aware that my english sucks, that's why I watch a lot of eng-subbed anime. I improve my jp and my en at the same time

Well put.
That's the reason someone made a nice qt torrent client only, namely qbittorrent, which is very similar to transmission and works well.
I forgot to mention that transmission brings also a command line client only (gui and cli are separated in transmission-cli and transmission-gtk), which already includes a simple web interface that does not need LAMP! What is the point of the lightweight rtorrent when its' web frontends need all that other software stack? And command line only for torrents with a lot of files and priorities is way to cumbersome.
I don't know if the transmission-cli web interface already includes a details view now where you can give certain files priority though, since I used it on Ubuntu some time ago when it didn't have such a view, but I saw that it was planned then.

  • What is a BitTorrent Client?

    My son is interested in getting a piece of software called XTorrent; a BitTorrent Client. I don't really understand what this does or how it works. If you buy it, it says it can do searches faster for you. It also does music, film and file downloads. Is this legit or is it just like the old Napster?

    BitTorrents are not legal. They're not entirely trustworthy and some BitTorrent Clients have
    been known to have malicious software embedded into them.
    I think you should maybe buy or rent things like that instead. It's legal and you can trust who
    you're buying from
    Uh, no. BitTorrents are legal -- try not to believe everything the MPAA and RIAA say without engaging a little bit of critical thinking. That said, what people do with a BitTorrent client is often illegal.
    BitTorrent is peer-to-peer (p2p) software and a lot of the content distributed on p2p networks is illegal copies of music or movies. But it is also used to legitimately distribute large files like the Linux operating system and the World of Warcraft game. While R94N is wrong about BitTorrents being illegal, you need to be very careful about what files your child is downloading or uploading.
    Also, be warned that a lot of the p2p software out there is less than great quality. You cannot be certain that the client program you're using isn't also uploading files from your system that you wouldn't want to share with the world -- tax records, bank statements, email, etc. It isn't supposed to happen, but it happens all the time. I had this problem myself using the Azureus client on my mac.
    My advice would be that BitTorrent clients are often more trouble than they are worth in terms of the risks to your system. If you are going to use one, then use a reputable piece of software like the free Opera browser which has a torrent client built in to it.
    You should not have to pay for a torrent client and the likelihood that something improper is going on goes up when you have to either pay for the client or pay for "search services" to download even faster.

  • BitTorrent Client help needed..

    Iam building a BitTorrent Client program...i run each client at different machines and each client will need to interact with the tracker from time to time..How can this be accomplished???Both the client and tracker are java programs.
    Iam new to socket programming and i have already read the sun java tutorials on sockets..I need to know if it's possible for the client to call the methods in tracker while being connected through sockets..

    KiltedTim
    1, I will try and change that to oulook, but as that is by far not my primary email, there are no issues with that email account, all the email I have is either personal (cancun.com.mx) or work related (all other domains, pani.com.mx, etc)
    I will try and contact this people, but I am afraid this will be a lost battle... they are really backwards...
    now, this gives me an idea, do you think that godaddy can do this contact syncing via the server??
    I may try and change the service, as I am not ok with my current provider, but godaddy is way expensive and I am not sure it would good economic idea..
    and third.. do you recommend anyone? I now that as this is not a country specific issue, I can change to any provider I want, the only issue would be the support if I am in problems, the phone call would be international long distance and not cheap...
    mmmmmm got to think about this..

  • WRT350N Losing connection with web browser after running Bittorrent client

    My Setup:
    HP Pavillion Dual Core Desktop PC 2GB Memory
    Windows Vista Premium Home
    Linksys Wireless WUSB G Adapter for my destop
    Time Warrner Cable Modem - Webstar Model
    I have had a WRT54G for a long time, and it has been flawless, I decided to buy a Refurbed by Linksys WRT350N because I anticipate getting a new device and devices that will use the Draft N Standard.  Anyhow, I have it set to narrowband to use ONLY Wireless G, have it set up as i Did with my G Router to use WEP with Broadcast SSID ETC ETC, opened up all the same ports forwarded on it and made all same settings as in my WRT54G.
    Here is the problem:
    I typically use a Bittorrent client to download large files to my computer, specifically UTorrent.    With my WRT54G I would get good speeds but even after a couple of hours I would still be able to start my Browser, IE or Firefox 3 and get, albeit slow, but still get my webpages to render.
    Now when UTorrent runs for a couple of hours with my WRT350N I load my web browser and I get a message that says "Cannot connect" or connection is timing out.  Sometimes it will load the page but looks more text like than HTML, and I attribute that to packet loss?
    Anyhow I did use Linksys Tech Support, and they suggested I changed my MTU to a lower setting instead of Auto which I did and it didnt make a difference, welL i shouldnt say that I do get forecastfox to load on FIrefox where it didnt load before and sometimes I get the non html version of the pages to load.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am patient and LOVE a project and I have a feeling this is going to be one.

    Actually that is what I was doing last night and got a bad flash and bricked my router..so its on its way back to Linksys...

  • BitTorrent Client Firewall Problems

    Hello,
    So I am using Azureus as my BitTorrent client and sometimes it will say that the NAT is ok, and other times it will say that it is firewalled. I have gone in through and checked all the firewall settings and everything and it isn't even turned on. Just in case I allowed the two ports that it uses and that didn't change anything. Any suggestions?
    Edit: In the process of writing this it miraculously changed from "firewalled" to "NAT OK." Still, anyone know what is going on?
    Thanks,
    Jordan

    I doubt it. I have wireless security set up, and the firewalled status doesn't correspond at all to anyone being on the other computer in the house.

  • IX-2 losing connection on Transmission bittorrent client

    I have set-up my IX-2 for RAID 1.
    No problems for over a week using bittorrent client transmission.
    However, since the weekend, it is starting to lose connection with the error "Connection FailedCould not connect to the server. You may need to reload the page to reconnect."
    With my limited IT knowledge, I have checked my router and IX-2 has an open port and the settings in transmission have confirmed that the port is open. Even changing port numbers doesn't help.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks

    Hello trevorsem
    Are you seeing the connection error when connecting to the web interface locally or remotely?
    Are you using personal cloud to access your unit remotely or using your public ip address?
    Also could I have you send a screen shot of the port settings you are looking at for transmission as the transmission
    client in the ix2 firmware should not have those level of settings.  
    Are you using public or private trackers for your torrent downloads?  Public trackers should work fine, however most private trackers require specific torrent clients and configurations to properly download from the tracker.

  • Use command line bittorrent client to seed only

    Assuming I have an 8GB file stored in /home/user/store/some_file and a .torrent file stored in /home/user/store/some_file.torrent
    I want to use a command line client (bittorrent or bittornado) to seed the file to others in my LAN.
    If I do:
    user@host:/home/user/store$ /usr/bin/btdownloadheadless --minport 6000 --maxport 8999 /home/user/store/some_file.torrent
    It for some reason downloads the file (???) instead of simply seeding it?
    How can I accomplish this?

    It for some reason downloads the file (???) instead of simply seeding it?
    I'm just guessing here but couldn't "/usr/bin/btdownloadheadless" have anything to do with it?
    From the command line you can also use rtorrent or deluged (the Deluge daemon) running in the background.

  • Crashes when using bittorrent ANY bittorrent client

    I'll start at the beginning, I got my MBP on Thursday and installed Firefox and a BT client. Then after about 15min it crashed, the mouse stopped moving and the computer became unresponsive, no error message, no gray screen, nothing. I restarted and it happened again... and again... and again. So I made a Genius bar appointment, they replaced my laptop. Well now its Saturday and the problem persists on my NEW mac book pro. I went to the Genius bar twice today and first time they told me to re-install OS X second time they told my it MUST be a software issue. (makes sense what are the odds of two bad MBP?). Any ideas out there? Thanks ahead of time.

    Yes, I did restore (sorry for the confusion - that's what I meant by reloaded) - is there a difference between these two things (restore and reload)?  All purchased apps that use wireless appear to work (like news services, for example) - it's all of the apps which came with it that don't. 

  • Bittorrent error: "no/erroneous BT client listening"

    I port mapped my Airport Extreme (n). My Bittorrent client shows that the port is open.
    But DaD reports the error above.
    I'm getting good dl/ul speeds. I just can't figure out how to clear the error. Everything seems to be checking out ok.
    Thoughts?

    Hi Bob,
    Sorry for my delay.
    Based on your description, I understand that you have verified port 65500 was opened on server. Meanwhile,
    be unable to browse https://acesrv01:65500/CertWebservice.svc
    on client. If I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    Based on current situation, please check Windows Firewall profile. Windows Firewall profile may block access

    Hope this helps.

  • Bittorrent shuts down my wireless connection

    Hi
      This happened to me a long time ago when I was a debian user : About 30-60 seconds after I start transmission bittorrent client, my wireless connection is terminated and only gets back after I restart the network card. This is really weird and I have no idea what is causing thi. If I connect my laptop on UTP cable I can use bittorrent fine. Even in wireless I can use it, but only for 30-60 seconds.

      As you can see, my AP ssid is "1302NG" and wpa supplicants keeps trying to reassociate with it indefinitely with no success. However if I do:
    $ sudo su

    Well, the fact that it blacklists your very own AP does look strange. Do you have similar behaviour e.g. with ndiswrapper and a Windows driver? Torrent connections have been known to bring down even wired routers before, let alone wireless ones.

  • Opening Firewall Ports for BitTorrent

    I just got a shiny new Mac and installed the regular no-frills BitTorrent client. It downloads, but never at more than 1 KB/s. So I Googled around a bit and found instructions on how to open ports 6681-6999 on the firewall. I followed the instructions, and I do believe those ports are open, at least according to the System Preferences--rebooted and everything. But it has no effect on BitTorrent--it still says "Online, maybe firewalled" in the lower right corner and won't go above 1 KB/s.
    I have an ethernet router, but it always worked fine with BitTorrent on my Windows computer, so I sincerely hope that is not the problem. (The only reason it's there is to give the long ethernet cable something to plug into, as the apartment came with a ridiculously short ethernet cable sticking out of the wall.)
    Does anyone know what I can do to get BitTorrent working?
    Thanks

    The first 3 numbers were the same as the router and the last number was unique. When I let it set its own IP address, it is 3, and I figure the other computer I have, which is not currently on or plugged in to anything, is probably 2.
    The changes I made in the router settings don't seem to have stuck. A friend recommended I use Azureus instead of the basic BitTorrent client, and it keeps telling me "UPnP: Lost connection to service WANIPConnection on UPnP device '192.168.11.1'" and ditto WANPPPConnection. Eventually, though, it stopped complaining about being firewalled. So far it hasn't picked up much speed, but I'm hoping that's just the usual phenomenon of my upload speed being slow as I have nothing to upload yet.
    Also, when I later tried to log in to the router without changing the IP address, it worked. (So the problem where it wouldn't let me log in unless I used the same IP address as before solved itself.)
    I think my problem may be solved, but I'm gonna give it a while to make sure.

  • Problem with Bittorrent

    I recently moved to a new place which provides wireless internet access. At my last location my bittorrent client was working well but since I arrived at my current location I haven't been able to get any torrent downloads started. I've tried two different clients and multiple different torrents but I can't get anything going. Any help would be extremely appreciated...

    Some BitTorrent variants require the ability to make inbound connections to your computer (the BitTorrent "client", in these cases, acts as both a network client (initiating outbound connections) and a network server (responding to inbound connections). If at your last location, you had a direct connection (no router) to your cable/DSL modem -- or had set up the router to put your machine in a "DMZ" -- then you may have been using this variant.
    This won't work at your new location, which has a wireless router serving several customers. You probably can't ask the administrator to set up port forwarding for the BitTorrent well-known ports. The alternative is to use BitTorrent clients and trackers that support a different variant of BitTorrent. I've successfully used Transmission (as a client) with two different trackers in this situation.

  • Need Bittorrent Help ASAP! Willing to Pay!

    Hello,
    I am currently at the University of Georgia and trying to get bittorrent to work. The client I am using is transmission, and I am working on a macbook The download speed will not pass much over 1kb/s. I know that the torrents I am trying are healthy and would normally download from my house at around 100kb/s. If someone can help me solve this, I would be more than happy to paypal them some money. Remember, I am in a dorm at a major university so I have no access to the router or anything.
    Thanks a lot,
    Eric

    I would be more than happy to paypal them some money.Eric, everyone here is on a volunteer basis and routinely works their tails off to help folks with their issues. Offering money is not only unnecessary but a violation of the Terms of Use. If someone takes you up on it, decline. You can get advice just as good or better for nothing.
    It does sound like a shared bandwidth issue.
    Also, remember that any Mac could be cracked/hacked. If you use common sense the odds against it happening are long. If you use a bittorrent client the odds get better.
    You can protect yourself by using your firewall and/or a hard wired router, downloading only from "trusted" sites, installing all security updates and being careful about what you give administrative power to.
    Don't use Limewire or any other P2P service to download your software, get it from reputable sources. In addition, always keep at least your users backed up, preferably a clone of your entire system on a separate disk. And put your sensitive passwords, bank accounts, credit card numbers in a "secure note" in a new keychain or in an encrypted folder.
    You can also use these online security tests to see how secure your Mac is.
    Enjoy your Mac

  • AEBS 802.11n, Crashing while using bittorrent

    Hi, I have recently purchased an AEBS 802.11n (gigabyte ed. and using the 7.2.1 firmware) and am experiencing some problems using bittorrent.
    First off, I use azureus for my torrents, and with my former linksys router I had no issues. However since purchasing the AEBS I have tried multiple torrents now, and seemingly randomly during the transfer I loose wired/wireless connectivity to my router and am unable to restore it. When looking at the actual base station though the status light is still green, but going through my mbp the device will not appear when I scan for base stations. The only way to fix this problem is to unplug/replug the router.
    This happened with the first AEBS and thinking it may be an error with the actual router, I returned it. However, after unpacking the new one, configuring it... I am having the exact same issue. I haven't experienced the router crashing any other times outside of using bittorrent, so I am unable to pinpoint whether this is something random or not. However it is almost a sure bet that letting azureus run for a few minutes will crash it. Furthermore upon restarting the router, all of its logs seem to clear so I can't even begin to troubleshoot this.
    I can't see how a $60 linksys router is able to outperform this very nice offering from apple, and I really would like to see this problem fixed. I hope this doesn't come down to tweaking some rare setting in the bittorrent client as I have many people that use my network weekly and it will be an increasable pain to take them through some unique setup which should not be required.
    If anyone has any ideas let me know, I am fairly competition with computers and networking issues and willing to do whatever is needed to fix this. Thanks in advance.

    I'm using Azureus 3.0.2.2. However this really shouldn't be an issue of client settings or what not.
    The fact of the matter is, I can sit here on my friends $30 d-link, and download from BT just fine, close my laptop, open it at my house, continue downloading/seeding, and almost guarantee a crash... with the exact same settings. Furthermore how can I expect anyone on my network to dig through their respective clients settings just to use my network, and the first time someone forgets... poof router/network locked.
    This is definitely a problem with the router, however I'm not sure if its a firmware or hardware issue. Hopefully this is a bug that they will be able to fix, if not the AEBS is going straight back.
    I still haven't had a chance to call apple on the matter, as I am away on business... I will be returning Monday and hopefully they have some answers.
