Thanks (Y)

I found a problem once it updates the "Scripts" and displays the "Scripts are updated!" message.

Let's say I don't click OK and leave the dialog there.. If I close the main program, the dialog stays there. It should be forced close with the main program or made modal once it pops up.

ahh.. thanks for pointing that out.. for simplicity's sake, I have the update functions as a seperate program, which allow you to update the scripts in real time, or when bit che isn't running, etc, but I'll have the update program closed if you exit Bit Che. thanks!

thank you so much, this is a wonderful program, please keep up the great work!

i have had an idea for awhile about a program which allows you to enter a torrent list or torrent search rss , when you enter it the program will look for new torrents added to that rss and inform you when something is added, and also downloads the latest option if you choose ( which could be helpful for TV episode torrents )

just an idea, i know itd help me out a lot :D , maybe you can add it to your program

Check for updates goes to the site which claims .37 is still the latest :/

Installer should auto-close bit che if it is open.

well the main site only has the latest main releases (not beta releases).. users would normally have to get build 38/39 from my forums but i posted a link here as well since there seems to be interest in the updates =)

as far as the installer goes, i've added mutex checking for now.. thanks :)

here's the change log for the new build:

Download:

http://www.convivea.com/download/bit_che_1_0_39.exe

1.0.39 - Sep 14, 2006

------------------------------------------------------

1. New UI: scripts are now displayed in a 'sidebar' and groups member sites away from public sites (right click a script for extra options menu)

2. Updated UI: made a few tweaks to the user interface

3. Bug Fix: Auto Removal of Strict Matches (duplicates) now works again

4. Bug Fix: Torrent Details window does not re-appear if you close it before its loaded (or if you load a different torrent)

5. Bug Fix: file size with KB's are now properly formatted and sorted

6. Logistics Improved: Bit Che and the installer are now aware of each other, as well as multiple instances of Bit Che

I'd like to request the ability to open multiple torrents at the same time (ctrl+click), if possible :)

the Torrent Details? i was thinking about implementing this.. i figured it was a toss up though because then you'd have to close each window each time you viewed a new torrents details.. instead of just having it stay stationary until you closed it.. regardless, I will add this to the To/Do list, and just have an option of opening multiple torrent details or using only one window..

unless you meant download/opening multiple torrents, which is already enabled.. but i assume you meant torrent details :)

thanks!

Well I can't select multiple torrents, so I don't see how downloading them is already enabled?

oh i just meant that its *possible* to be downloading more than 1 torrent at once... if you right click and go "Open Torrent" on a couple different ones real fast.. but obviously thats not as convenient as selecting multiple torrents and doing 1 right click "open torrents" or "view details".. so i'll implement that soon. thanks!

Hey chip... get the original poster to update the first post in the thread with the latest version or make a new thread for updates and link from here because going through all the posts to find your latest posted version is NOT the way to do it.

Btw, thanks for your app. There is still alot of competition in this space, i'm partial to .net myself but most of the .net apps aren't that great, so good luck and may the best app win.

Also - you might want to know your app has some graphical resizing problems with Aero on windows Vista RC1, probably due to the fact that you have stated a minimum size for the window but this causes graphic glitches on that operating system - might want to get a testbed of RC1 Vista (it's stable enough for development work) and fix it :)

Edited by ev0|

ev0|!!1 :happy:

thanks Evo.. my new laptop capable of running rc1 just arrived so I'll be sure to fix up any UI problems soon..

also, i might migrate the code to .Net once Vista RTM comes out.. but I not sure it really matters.. I just want a torrent program thats fast as possible and does what I need.. I personally dont really care about the language =/ anyway, thanks for using bit che, and cheers!

Using web based search engines is better IMO

Each to their own I suppose, I myself like Bit Che and will continue using it. It's getting better with each point release.

Just a suggestion for Chip! - The three items on the Menu button of the Torrent Details dialogue, would it be possible to have them on their own buttons instead of a menu and talking of the torrent details dialogue, could it be a bit wider?

These are unimportant and just very very little niggles. Just making a suggestion and won't feel bad or stop using your great programme if you ignore me or dismiss me out of hand :D

tuckeratlarge: thanks for the input, i have added these to my todo list and will be included with the next release.. they are great suggestions!

slimy: thanks, next release ill make a new thread. i failed to realize thats how things are done here :)

ozgeek: i guess you haven't tried Bit Che? ;) web based search engines dont let you use your private sites, or have the power&flexibility of a script based application, but then again, if you only want to use piratebay, torrentspy, mininova, then your web based search engines are great! however, i would recommend http://torrentz.com over those 2 you referenced.

    • This is about the EU given consumers options, Apple is all about not giving options and locking you into its own services, this hurts Apple far more than it hurts the EU market because it makes Apple products look less appealing by Apple refusing to offer its own service because they have to give options to rivals, the end results are consumers might look at alternatives like Android. It's a game Apple can't really win when there are alternatives and Apple will in time change course on this, until then, let Apple hurt themselves in the EU market.
    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more by Taras Buria Microsoft's new Surface Laptop Ultra generated a lot of buzz earlier this month, but in addition to its most powerful laptop with an NVIDIA chip, Microsoft also has a more affordable laptop lineup, which has been waiting for an update for quite a while. Today, Microsoft announced the eighth-generation Surface Laptop. The new Surface Laptop is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Plus and X2 Elite processors. These chips offer faster CPU performance, up to 58% faster graphics, and 80 TOPS Neural Processing Units (NPUs) for on-device AI processing. Like the previous models, these chips retain their great energy efficiency, and Microsoft says that buyers can expect up to 20 hours of work on a single charge. The laptop is available in two sizes: 13.8-inch and 15-inch. You will have a hard time finding visual differences between the new and previous models, as Microsoft is not taking any major design leaps, except for the new Jade color, which may look familiar to Surface Laptop 5 owners. Other colors include Platinum, Black, and Dune. The 15-inch variant got a higher-resolution display. It is a 3,270 x 2,180 resolution screen with a pixel density of 262 ppi (the 13-inch model has a 201 ppi density) and a maximum brightness of 600 nits SDR and HDR. Unlike the Surface Pro 12th-gen, which is available with optional OLED displays, the Surface Laptop sticks with IPS, a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 3:2 aspect ratio. Another notable change in the Surface Laptop 8 is its trackpad. It now provides haptic feedback when you perform various actions in apps and the operating system. It is a relatively new feature that Microsoft brought to Windows 11 in recent updates, and it is only available on certain devices, such as the Logitech MX Master 4, Surface Slim Pen 2, the upcoming Surface Laptop Ultra, and now the Surface Laptop 8. The new Surface Laptop with the new Surface Pro Like its tablet-shaped sibling, the new Surface Laptop is notably more expensive. It starts at a $1,599 for a 13.8-inch configuration with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. However, in the US, the base model has double the storage while keeping the same price. Available configurations include up to 64GB of memory and up to 2TB SSD (user-removable PCIe Gen4). The Surface Laptop 8 is now available for purchase on the official Microsoft website.
    • Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors by Taras Buria So far, 2026 has been rich in Surface announcements. Microsoft started with a fresh lineup of Surface for Business devices powered by Intel's new Core Ultra 300 processors. Then the company revealed the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop with NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Now, it is time for new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Qualcomm processors. Microsoft's original Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X1 chips debuted in late May 2024. Two years later, Microsoft is finally updating the lineup with new models featuring Snapdragon X2 processors. The 12th-gen Surface Pro continues the well-established formula of Microsoft's flagship tablet, and Microsoft is not even changing colors, as the tablet will be available in three colors: Dune, Black, and Platinum. The most important changes are mostly hidden inside. Microsoft switched from the Snapdragon X1 to the new Snapdragon X2, which promises up to 53% faster graphics performance than the previous generation and up to 15.5 hours of battery life. The built-in NPU is also much more powerful, and it can run at up to 80 TOPS for on-device AI processing. Like before, the new Surface Pro is available with a 13-inch IPS display, and Microsoft is still offering OLED as a separate, more expensive configuration. Speaking of configurations, the Surface Pro will be available with a 10-core Snapdragon X2 Plus or a 12-core Snapdragon X2 Elite. Microsoft expanded the available RAM configurations to 64GB (previously 32GB was the maximum), while storage remains unchanged at 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of user-replaceable PCIe Gen4 SSDs. The new Surface Pro and the Surface Laptop Other specs remain mostly unchanged. The computer has the same 1440p Windows Hello webcam, two USB4 ports for charging, data, and display output, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, dual speakers, and compatibility with Surface Pro Signature and Flex keyboards. With that said, there is one very important aspect of the Surface Pro that changed significantly, and it is the price. While the previous-gen Surface Pro launched at $999 for the base configuration, in 2026, the entry-level Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2, 16GB of memory, and 256GB will set you back an eye-watering $1,499. To sweeten the pill, Microsoft is running a limited-time promotion where Surface Pro buyers can get a free Surface Pro 13-inch Keyboard. The promo runs from June 16 through June 30. The new Surface Pro is available now on the official Microsoft Store website.
