?Torrent 1.4 is finally out. The changes are quite overwhelming. The most notable new features are:

* Bitcomet style add dialog

* RSS Reader

* Speed wizard to select your proper settings based on upload speed.

Some other much requested features that have been added are:

* Add !ut to incomplete files

* Multi scrape

* Better download speeds from BitComet clients.

Hope you find the new release as good as the previous ones. If you have a chance, don't forget to donate to the project. There is a button at the bottom of the main page. That is greatly appreciated and means I can continue working on ?Torrent.

There are tons of other features too. For the full changelog, please see:

Has anyone experienced this:

While downloading a torrent my seeding will work but soon as the download is finished, seeding ceases right on cue eith the finished download. I am "clever\connectable," all my router settings are set correctley, all my uploads are capped exactly to what they should be, and I did set-up a static-ip.

On a certain torrent site my ratio went from 1.5 to .945, yes, it doesnt look drastic on paper but in actuality there is like a 2gig gap between dowloaded and uploaded. This has been going on for a month or so and it is really frustrating. Any help will be gladly appreciated.

By-the-way, my router is a Linksys BEFW11S4.

Check changelog

"- Feature: Lower download speed if upload is set too low."

Which is a fantastic feature, I hate seeing people who are in my peer list downloading at >200KB/sec then **** off after they have downloaded the torrent.

Me too, I don't understand why people want to upload as little as they can. Play the game, people!

I think this new feature could have two effects. It could become unpopular with leechers, who prefer to limit their upload to like 5kb/s. I think it could become quite popular with private trackers though.

Very true, there has to be a way of MAKING a torrent program upload as fast as posible but not jeopardize your download speed.

If everyone uploads as fast as posible everyone will download alot faster

Become some people, like me, can't. I'm limited to 1.5 Gb per month in upload, most of the time I got crap speed (even with ports open) but my upload is at 100%, if I don't limit it I upload 100 times more than I download ... . eMule is the worst as I have to wait hours before I get some good sources but in the meanwhile I allready uploaded +500mb from my 1,5 gb/month.

You see my point I hope. Now don't say that I'm a leecher as my upload is set to 10kb/s or more, depends of the file actually.

If you have a limited upload then you really shouldn't be using a method of aquiring data in which you SHOULD upload in the form of karma. You should look into IRC.

    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
