Post updated to new Build 8205 (Alpha)

(2008-01-28)

?Torrent is an efficient and feature rich BitTorrent client for Windows sporting a very small footprint. It was designed to use as little cpu, memory and space as possible while offering all the functionality expected from advanced clients. Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in ?Torrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet). Additionally, ?Torrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange. ?Torrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all. Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 220 KB in sizFeatures:

* Multiple simultaneous downloads

* Configurable bandwidth scheduler

* Global and per-torrent speed limiting

* Quick-resumes interrupted transfers

* RSS Downloader

* Trackerless support (Mainline DHT)

Be warned, this isalpha, not a beta, so bugs are to be expected, and it is not to be considered feature complete. Don't test this on private trackers without explicit permission from staff, if you value your account. Please test and report bugs/crashes/etc. Thanks.[/quot

So does this new version also spy on you for the RIAA/MPAA?

:D

Man you have no tact!

It doesn't spy, it monitors your download activity just in case your dowloading something that might not be DRM'd for your own protection.

Silly fools, still don't realize DRM is only there to save you from yourselves... DRM means high-quality, full-length content.

And it's not just for your own personal safety, you selfish losers. It's to stop communism, everyone knows that P2P and especially the "popular" uTorrent are used by Russian ultranationalists trying to corrupt the rest of the world by injecting the concept of "sharing" stuff that no one owns - that's absoloutely unamerican!

You can't criticize DRM and most certainly not the RIAA/MPAA, because they're doing it for national security reasons as their upcoming lawsuits will reveal:

Judge: And where is the evidence of theft?

RIAA Counsler: Your Honor, seeing as this is a matter of national security and the freedom of capitalim and democracy is at stake, The Patriot Act clearly states you have no right to this evidence!

After installing the latest build (6104) and downloading an episode of "American Chicken Guy", I heard a knock on the door. On the opening of the door, I saw teh MP3A agents, disguised as two little girls. They were selling cookies, but I didn't buy their act! I quickly said "no thanks" after purchasing twelve boxes, closed the door and immediately deleted the episode, without even watching it.

And now, I sit in front of twelve empty cookie boxes in fear, while installing Newsleecher v3.9 Beta 9. Light and nice client, but I will never again, download anything from torrents!

How so, what have they done?

They've integrated the RSS section as a tab, accessible from the sidebar... It's turned into an RSS feed reader (no more lite and simple).

I can't even find the RSS Torrent Filter section!

Compared to the original way:

(Disclaimer: not actually downloading any of that stuff, it's just there for illustrative/educational purposes :D)

we knew the end was near when they were bought out

no use complaining, the damage was done

Huh, because of the RSS tab (hint: some release news sites use RSS) or because of the multitude of other fixes, like better hashfail checks to work against the *AA's injection attacks? But sure, stick with whatever old version you've got if you wish.

    • I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."
    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
