Seriously, about £200 will get you an Intel Core 2 Quad – Q6600 and about 2 gig of nice RAM.

One of my pc’s has that spec and I run Azureus/Vuze in the background whilst playing some mp3′s, encoding a DVD and playing Crysis.

If 100MB of RAM makes you worried, you seriously need to consider upgrading.

What you’re saying is, that in attempting to pursue licensing deals, so that they can provide legal content via their site, and thus give credence to the ‘substantial non-infringeing uses’ argument, that by doing so they’re automatically providing userdata to the content companies?

I think you might want to stay off the conspiracy theory sites a bit, maybe stick to those that know what they’re talking about.

Besids, how do you know something like Azureus isn’t doing the same? Because it’s open source? I would have thought the news last week, that an open source mozilla download had been infected with a trojan months ago, and only just discovered proves that open is as insecure, if not more so (since everyone assumes someone else checked open source, whereas closed people don’t make that assumption) than closed source. Vuze is trying to make the exact same deals as bittorrent inc. you know.

How easy it is to get people to sell out – make a “better” product that calls home and gives them everything they need to know to put you down.

what that does have with what client you using? its about how much ppl seeed things you need. there is also your isp, as very big part. getting 120kbs for 1.5mb connection is very good score.

I’ve never had reason to doubt it, and until I do, I won’t switch to utorrent.

utorrent- good for leechers

azureus- good for private trackers.

guess most of us leechers anyways.

Utorrent is having less options easy to handle and it doees not consmes system

If it was just one firewall that was conflicting, it might just be one of those things, but several? Maybe uTorrent should look over their code again…

Quoted for truth!

As for Vuze, who cares? I have never seen it and no one is forcing you to use it. The classic ui is fine thank you. Azureus might be complex for some people, in that case something like Transmission is enough.

Yeah, java uses around 200m of ram (shares with other java apps) and 4% cpu on a Duron 1.3ghz. Firefox is usually the bloat here. You must use java 1.6, not 1.5 for Azureus 3.0.4. And no, just because you see the ui react slow, does not mean the program is. Check your traffic and bandwidth with other tools. If your isp is slowing you, see the countermeasures in the azureus wiki.

Furthermore limewire is NOT declining. For a while it had performance issues, but its total search volume has been growing rapidly, yes. even now in late 2007. So I wish people would get their facts straight…

Agreed.

Merry Christmas to all – & to all a Happy New Year!

And in the case that something would happen – the client is open source and could be carried on by others.

You could take the example of Vuze actively complaining about the actions of Comcast as something which benefits from a company being involved.

Although java takes a while to load up (since it has to load the jvm) it’s hardly the resource hog people claim it to be.

“The issue with corporate ownership is that corporations are much more legally responsible for their product (“software”) than coding enthusiasts are. This makes them more restricted by regulations, and more susceptible to abuse of such regulations (by, for example, the mafIAA).”

“Perhaps – but by the same token, it also gives them more power to defend themselves from legal action.”

wait – so if the mafIAA were to bring to bear the full brunt of their financial / legal powers, who would be hardest to take down: an open source community, or a mid-size business?

There’s gotta be business cases for this somewhere.

And everybody, just because uTorrent is owned by a company that made major contributions to the existence of Torrents, doesn’t mean they are going to turn their back on that community and screw them over; they’re just kind of a legal interface between users and content owners.

Next it will be IPs. Thanks, but no thanks.[/quote]

Eh, no. The only difference between this tracking and a regular hit counter is that client tracking increments based on what type of hit is made. Incrementing a counter is WAY different than logging IPs – the latter takes a serious toll on busy trackers, and is also not something that a serious BT tracker would ever engage in. Honestly, by now I’d think you people know us better than that.
