Azureus rocks. The best BT client imho. The fact that you can set it up to use just one port and the ability to download seperate files within one torrent are what wins it over for me.

Whoa... welcome to 6 months ago Nark. Been using Azureus since it arrived on the scene. No other client's even come close.

BitTorrent is a peer to peer protocol.

Hey, I'd only finally decided to get off my arse and check out BitTorrent about a month ago!
Thank goodness I've got unlimited downloads! hehe

Trouble with suprnova is you can't search for files within it. You have to look. Only downside.

Are you behind a firewall?
If so, go to the original BitTorrent website and read their stuff about being behind a firewall (and how to bust a hole in it).

firewall will either stop bittorrent or - if correctly forwarding ports - make it work.
Speed issues will come from number of available peers sharing same file and the bandwidth between them/you.
i ended up running the client outside my firewall as i didn't want to forward ports to a specific machine inside my homeLan - would have prevented other folks/machines from running bittorrent clients... of course, this only works if you use an actual workstation for a firewall, instead of a router/switch.

One PC is directly connected to the cable connection and shares the connection to my PC whilst using the inbuilt firewall from XP till i get off my ass and organise something better... i followed the instructions from the site and have opened those ports, so i'll see how i go. It's probably damn dial up users downloading movies

why should a firewall slow it down?
a decent firewall (e.g. real configurable/logging-capable/alarm-configurable/et c thing) should have no effect on network traffic thru-put.
Mine's a 300mhz G3 with two network ports. Average cpu load is about 1%. Does nothing that woudl slow packet handling down. cost not much more that $110 from memory.

yes, i know all about firewall configuration.... i'm not new to it (having been working in design/IT since about 1992).
... so why would bittorrent be any slower inside a firewall (on contrast to being outside it or not using one at all) if you've got port forwarding correctly setup?

em .. yes i did...
in particular the line with ..."Once you get the bogus IP address issue and the port forwarding straightened out, people will be able to talk to you."
and ..."Configuring your firewall and BitTorrent client correctly is therefore essential for getting good download speeds!"
and this bit ..."People who are incorrectly configured (behind a firewall without port forwarding) can still join the swarm and download from other clients, but since the primary seeding client won't talk to them they are at a serious disadvantage." near the bottom.
which points to my earlier assetion of
| Quote: |

|
not being quite right (tho it should be noted that some early bittorrent client did not work at all behind firewalls as they did not correctly deal with with NATed packets).
... but they led me to question your assertion about slowness behind a firewall (my emphasis)
| Quote: |

|
as once the firewall's correct, speed should not be an issue. but your earlier post seemed to infer there would be.
...
jeez - arguments about semantics on a saturday nite... how lame.

I was actually making a response to your statement that a firewall will stop p2p traffic.
My original post was also about how a firewall would be why he was getting slow throughput.

OK then, i had read your thread differently ...
(jumps of increasingly rickety looking high horse).
...sorry for being a bit of a dick.
tho ... my experience with bittorrent clients has been that they dont work from inside my firewall at all, ulessl i enabled port-forwarding. Or that even tho they ran, no data ever got downloaded, despite telling the app. of the firewall's IP address.
It is easier for me to run them 'outside' the firewall, controlling the app. via remote desktop (on mac) or ssh'ing to the box to then run the command line client version.

hehe I think we both misunderstood each other. 
I can tell you that it does work behind a Linux IPTables firewall though!
And I can't really port forward, 'coz multiple machines behind the firewall use BitTorrent. I just live with the slow speeds by having many torrents going at once.

I find bittorrent a pain in the arse with ADSL.
The min upload speed is 10k/sec which is almost all of my bandwidth so I can never finish downloading anything because all my bandwidth is used to upload!

That depends on what clientyou use, im on adsl, 512/128, i usually set mine to 3k upload and just download two things at once.
That way i can still use the net.

Go to suprnova.org and have a look around.
Man, 9 days into the month and I've used 7.5gig of my 12gig plan..... (Thanks Nark. ). And that is download only, my ISP doesn't count uploads or I'd be over for sure.
I think I'll hold off until near the end of this month. Good thing I've got pretty much all I want though, so I don't have much more to go nuts over. Just mainly simpsons episodes now.....

Check this out...
This is what my system load is currently... All because of Azureus... hehe
It spikes at 19 at one point.
Best thing is that I can't even notice the load. Love the new 2.6 kernel!!
