Yah. It's a good one, using it myself.

I use BitSpirit. All I need is there.
There should be no problem with transferring downloads from one client to another. Once I had Azureus (extemly slow), and when I moved to BitSpirit, it only took some time (not long) to check the donloaded parts.

Yep it's more simple to write uTorrent than microtorrent...
Anyway another torrent question, does the upload speed affect the download, will I be able to have greater speeds if I share more bandwith?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Yes and yes.

not what i found last night. i was downloading a particular set of files that added up to 1.9gb and i wasn't getting much even though my upload ratio was something like 425% :wallbash:

The number of seeders was probably low.

Use Azureus if you have some spare RAM (about 60mb). By far the best. Except RAM issues.

RAM issues? Tell me about it. Jeez! I can't have the darn thing running for long before my system begin to stall. The only reason I still use it is because I've gotten used to it and don't bother learning to use yet another one.

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Heheh. If you have 1gb ram it seems fine.

from bittorent faq:

Sometimes, limiting your upload rate will increase your download rate. This is especially true for asymmetric connections such as cable and ADSL, where the outbound bandwidth is much smaller than the inbound bandwidth. If you are seeing very high upload rates and low download rates, this is probably the case. The reason this happens is due to the nature of TCP/IP -- every packet received must be acknowledged with a small outbound packet. If the outbound link is saturated with BitTorrent data, the latency of these TCP/IP ACKs will rise, causing poor efficiency.

Use a client that allows limiting of the upload rate, and set it to around 80% of the maximum rate observed. It can be tempting to limit the rate to very small values. On very healthy torrents, this will not adversely affect the download rate. However, when there are fewer peers you will generally get higher download rates by allowing the highest upload rate possible before saturating the link -- the (approx.) 80% sweet spot.[/b]
