No i prefer limewire over both these,as these both use java also. What i'm after is a limewire clone which is lite and doesn't use java, and uses the gnutella network. Don't think one exists, maybe ?torrent should make this, ?download:shiftyninja:a:

Have you had a look @ phex ?

Excellent stuff, unsure off whether to make the complete change from Bitlord to utorrent but ey its good :p

FYI, BitLord is a really old version of BitComet with bundles.

As for ?Torrent, I think I'll wait until it at least supports Peer-Exchange to be up to par with finding peers with BC.

You can never have enough peers for better speeds, at least if you download files that aren't among the most popular.

i don't think im going to switch

i've always had the notion of switching due to the memory hugging issue of bitcomet. when i went downloaded and test it out. i was getting speed around 10kB/sec... usually i would be going at 150kB/sec. it says something about UDP failing()

edit: wow this is crazy. i downloaded this chinese lang pack. and somehow after i reboot... the speed just shoots out of the roof....

im getting 150kB/sec which is my max and 0kB/sec upload >.>

i :shifty:

I think some peoples problems with uTorrent and slow speeds is the issue with UDP port forwarding with your routers, uTorrent does not have its own UDP system it uses the built in windows one which for me was not turned on by default i had to do it myself in the services part of windows.

I could be totally wrong but this was my problem.

I have used Bitlord B4 and Utorrent is much better but it lacks banning peers, like in bitlord u can just right click a peer and click ban for 5 mins or 1 hour or 24 hours and such but utorrent lacks that option

Banning peers at desire is kind of "unfair" to the swarm in my opinion. This is not how BitTorrent is supposed to work.

    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
    • New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
