then you probably run it in default setup with the local peer discovery active and unlimited local peer bandwith exchange that it trashed your LAN.

And when you have run the setup wizard at first start and choose the correct value for your bandwith it will not take over all your bandwith.
Oh, and µT gives fairly exact control how much bandwith to use. You must enter the value’s you want.

Pebkac is not the programs fault!

however from the exploits of utorrent 1.6 id rather leave alone for a week or two…..

big up eoin o callaghan

But I do applaud Halite for filling a gap which was once filled, but I just don’t see (at the moment) why anyone would use this over uTorrent 1.6 Build 474.

That said, I downloaded Halite 0.3.1 (2.47 megs)and tried it. It is very good indeed but I find that uTorrent is still the numero uno.

@52 – Do you plan opn putting it on a floppy or something?

2.9MB isnt that big and installed it only goes to about 4MB, still small. Besides, Id be more concerned about memory usage, and Halite does well at that.

I agree. I thought it was also for Linux.

Noobs that speak out are anoying, stfu.

My copy of uTorrent is currently using 248MB of RAM as I have a forced cache size of 256MB + it setup to not dump old pieces. This is to reduce my hard drive wear as much as possible.

Heck, on my seedbox I have a cache size of 750MB so that I can cache a whole TV show into RAM and seed without a single HD read (once it’s all cached). After a few hours of seeding at 100mbit, I have around 5 million hits to the cache and a couple hundred to the hard drive (as the file was initially read into RAM).

For this reason alone, I wouldn’t recommend Halite (yet). Looks promising, but disk caching is just such a must IMO.

I will wait ’till this certain future!

That doesn’t sound like a recommendation to me.

But yea i think i will stick to utorrent.. it has been very faithful so far.

do u know how often azureus updates? cause they get PAID to do it, we dont have to rely on whether or not the developer feels like it. unless of course u code in whatever language this was compiled in, then u can make ur own improvements.

Time to switch.

Halite is far from being as smooth and low on resources as utorrent was, but being able to seed again beets it any time.

Looking into getting it to compile on my machine later this day …

has anyone realized utorrent1.7.7 is not seeding?

Who says their worries are unfounded? We have yet to see…I am still convinced the big awakening will come!

but seriously. its still not that good.

Oh and the pink halite is pretty :D

I’d like to see better user control over files within torrents for one thing. Namely, speed and priorities. Better privacy and encryption would also be good. I fail to see why our IP addresses should be visible to all, even tho there’s no option to prevent it, and also what’s the point since there’s no related peer or seeder controls? Also I hate the way it tries to download primarily from a few peers with the least data rather than from seeders. Non seeders are conserving their upload bandwidth until completion, so all you get from them is less than 1k/sec. Then there’s pieces which stall at 99.9% and refuse to complete. This must be client related also. Just a few gripes.

Speaking of Azureus, now that it has become the bloated, unnecessary POS known as Vuze, this client could steal a lot of it’s userbase and become a new, lighter Azureus replacement.

All programs have bugs and/or can be improved in some way.

Closed source means the user relies on the developer to address this.

Open source means anyone can do it (including the developer) = faster bugfixes/improvements = more stable = better.

Is the humor of that statement completely lost on you?

:It was a jab at Nod 32, not the stupid bittorrent client.

I believe YHBT
