I can see the benefit for ISP’s like lower network transport costs. but…

I live in the most ‘bandwidth challenged’ part of the most ‘bandwidth challenged’ so-called develped country. the main isp’s offer low upload speeds, and the faster isp’s are way too expensive. Closer peers does not equal faster download speeds unless they have high upload speeds. I often check to see which peers upload fastest and it is usually some swedish or other european, japanese, canadian or FIOS (verizon) IP address. I got 480KB/s from a bredbandsbolaget peer before. I’m in the southeast U.S. and i hate seeing *.bellsouth.net, *.ga.comcast.net or anything else nearby in my peers list. give me some peers across the pond with +200KB/s uploads please.

this also appears to go against the BT protocol rules. sounds like another gnutella2 to me, a swarm within a swarm that connects first to all the 25KB/s (divided by 3 upload slots) peers nearby before finally reaching out to the high capacity peers in other countries. NO THANKS!

Yes, Java is generally a sluggish language, but it sure as hell doesn’t mean it is the worst. Remember it is a language accepted amongst a multitude of operating systems – it isn’t optimized for the sake of just one, mind you. As for the programmers, my hearty opinion is that those who commit themselves to this language simply adapt to and overlook the issue from a technical standpoint.
The only ones here I find ignorant are the ones who decided to avoid Java like the plague.

This is a post about a plugin FOR Azureus, if you are not an Azureus user, get the hell outta here, got to uTorrent or any other sh** clients post, but dont come here just to say “Azureus? No, thanks.” You seems like kids, “My toy car is better than yours”.

Anyway, back on topic, i have uninnstalled Ono, because, i dont like processes doing what they like, not even showing it to me, i started to see the pings and tracerts like you said, seen that they came with azureus (Thanks to sysinternals process explorer, win task manager is cr*p) and then, came to this page, maybe in my linux installation, this wont bother too much, but in win, im paranoic, i dont want self run process that i cant kill, so, ill not use anymore, but, i really didnt see any change with it, im in latin america, with a 1mbps connection, and i had always maxed my connection with azureus, rightly configured, obviously. Thats the end of my review.

The sluggishness of java is of course annoying, but not really a show-stopper.

Azureus is horrible because of its popups which are (as a matter of fact!) impossible to turn off. Thats plain rude by the implementors.

Unfortunately I’m stuck with it because utorrent (which is really great) doesn’t work very well with wine. :-(

Any other client in the league of azureus and uTorrent I should try, which also works in linux?

85 Kb/s for a 1 Mbps connection is poor.

If you only got 7-10Kb/s while using Azureus it’s because you didn’t configure it correctly.

I am on a 20Mbps connection and regularly max out my connection at 2.5 MB/s
