so there's a _definite_ way of telling whether it's a proper 100% comlpete file or not. I think it's a good idea.

Oh right... I didn't relise it was that simple lol. I can see the value of that (I wasn't bashing it in the first place, just wondering)

Thanks

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.

Or FTP's, or DC (where the community instead wants you to share a lot of stuff for a wide variety in smallish networks), or newsgroups. ;)

But I don't really care for BT "leechers" set up to download much faster than they upload *** as long as they share the file to meet a 1.0+ ratio ***. If you can't upload what you got that quickly, at least stay until you have. Even a user with monthly bandwidth limits can do that, it just takes more months. The worst combination ever is impatient users with caps. Aargh...

If that happens even after 30 minutes to an hour or so, you may have firewall / router problems and is getting blocked.

You need to ensure incoming connections are enabled, and if necessary forwarded, for the ports ?Torrent use.

It takes about 5 minutes before it starts uploading. Im on cable, and everything is all set correctly.

Good that there is a new release.

Bad that is comes with an RSS reader (what happened to it trying to be as low on memory as possible?)

It only takes up ~2mb of memory.

Love Utorrent. :D

Favourite features are Boss Key and Limiting Download Speed if Upload Speed is Low. Boss Key is great for hiding Utorrent in case you're downloading "stuff". :whistle:

The other feature is great as it reduces leechers but I always thought that 's how Bittorrent worked. If you upload slower than others, don't you download slower, in all clients?

Wow, I can honestly say that this version is a HELL of alot faster then the other version. Thanks to the

* Better download speeds from BitComet clients.

feature, I use to never be able to connect well with other BitComet users. But right now I'm connected to several and getting >50KB/sec from a torrent with ~7 seeders and 35 Peers which I couldn't break the 25-30KB/sec barrier with 1.3.

    • First NVIDIA-powered Windows laptops reportedly debut next week

      By cyberhash · Posted

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      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 LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
