Raistlin666 Posted January 27, 2006 CID Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yes, i know many of you are thinking why post this? i know already ya little baka! but if even one person feels enlightened in any way... i will feel better about myself. so... there... BitTorrent is made for transferring files. It is peer-to-peer in , as users connect to each other directly to send and receive portions of the file. There is a central server (a tracker) which coordinates the action of all such peers. The tracker only manages connections, it does not have any knowledge of the contents of the files being distributed, and thus a substantial number of users can be supported with relatively limited tracker bandwidth. Bittorents are used in a language of "python". Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, Usually compared to "Java" or as i call the pac-man of ones connection. just gobbles it up i tell ya. Anyway, it is very universal, like Latin except without the dead part. name your OS, theres a great chance it will support it. lets see... Covered what, why... i thinks thats it Theres more detailed stuff i could go into, but thats only after you start. telling you now would just get confusing. Oh and a list of clients as well would be nice huh. 1. Azureus (beware of this, Java based connection eating client if you have a slow conn.) (http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ ) 2. BitTorrent original (When i say simple, i mean reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally simple. (http://bittorrent.com/ ) 3. BitTornado (The sliiightly uprgaded orignal) (http://www.bittornado.com/) 4. ABC (Yet Another Bittorrent Client) (A even better version.) (http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/ ) I myself have tried these. i have not tried the new utorrent or whatever thing so i cant say anything bad about it yet. I'm 98.96% sure this is all correct. if not i'm sure one will correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peepnklown Posted January 30, 2006 CID Share Posted January 30, 2006 I still use BitTornado because uTorrent gave me problems. Question to everyone using uTorrent, are you going through a router or directly to the modem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAINMAKA Posted January 30, 2006 CID Share Posted January 30, 2006 fireman i had the same problem and then i did this port forwarding thing, i believe the website is http://www.portforward.com/, just find your router and follow the steps.
