<div class="IPBDescription">"Another Bittorrent Client"</div> <a href='http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/oldindex.html' target='_blank'>Clickage</a>

I found a nifty Bittorrent client. It's called ABC, or "Another BitTorrent Client". I would have to say that ABC >>>>> Regular Bittorrent. On regular BT, I got (at most) 30kb/sec. With ABC I'm getting upwards of 200kb/sec. I heart it. Unfortunately, the maker of it has stopped working on it, so there will be no more updates. Sadface.

Oh well, but it works great! If you download off of .torrents a lot, get this kthx <3.

(note I didn't type much, I'm tired and abouut to go to bed)

    The client itself really shouldn't be affecting your upload and download speeds (unless you throttle the upload). I use Azureus myself, I love all of it's features. It keeps a list of your current torrents so you can just open Azureus to resume downloads and not have to bother finding the actual torrent file. It also tells you the total number of peers and seeds as well as how many you are connected to.

    Edit: Hrm, I was just looking at the ABC website and it has many of the same features as Azureus.

    its not cool nor fair to dl at 200 kb/s if your not uploading that fast or leaving it open after you finish.

    So it's not fair me to DL at 200k a second, even though my upload is capped at 50k/sec, and I have to turn it off because Bt owns my bandwidth even though it's not even a quarter of what my connection can do in the morning? Phear run-on sentences!

    How hard is it to just cap your upload then leave it running all night? It's simple common courtesy to upload to a 1.00 ratio.

    Because I'd rather not leave a torrent running for over 2 days. I rarely DL anything uunder 4 or so gigs. As I only really use it for unlicensed anime shows and crap after they're done airing.

    That, and I don't really care.

    (and I do leave it running all night. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

    It's not fair to upload with 2mb/sec and download with only 1mb/sec either <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    Personally, I prefer <a href='http://www.bittornado.com' target='_blank'>BitTornado</a>. It's getting more and more polished lately. The latest version implements file download priorities and download speed capping.

    By the way, a good client CAN affect your download speed if they reprogram how it handles pieces. (A file is split in to different pieces. Clients download these pieces and gradually build up the whole file. That's why your download speed is usually crap at the beginning and then jumps up suddenly. You've downloaded the first piece, so you have something to upload, therefore more clients want to share pieces with you.)

    I usually cap my upload at 40 KBPS and 6 max clients. (My max upload is about 50 KBPS right now.) Also, unless a torrent has tons of seeds, I usually leave it open until I've uploaded three times as much as I've downloaded. (Unless it's a big file, then I just leave it open until I really need the bandwidth for something else.)

    burst! is what i've been using for quite awhile... It seems to blend easy use, power, and a techie perspective of a BT.

    Interesting... does anyone have a nice largish-sized (100+ MB) torrent I could try it out on? The content doesn't really matter.

    try <a href='http://f.scarywater.net/redhat9.torrent' target='_blank'>this</a>. it's a torrent of a Redhat9ISO from a slashdot bittorrent site.

    otherwise, <a href='http://bisqwit.iki.fi/jutut/nesvideos/' target='_blank'>here</a> are some uber-fast NES game win videos that are up around 80MB.
