not the same on the two computers (to don't have to change the firewall)

azureus asks only for one port, both tcp and udp. I use now 4661, but any port can do

Hi, i've read that some ISPs across the world do reduce traffic or otherwise do reduce operability of computers using some P2P "classical" ports, at the connection level. (say, 4661, 4662 TCP and 4672 UDP for eMule) So, P2P traffic is reduced, their goal, and can be great where these ISP have these policies and people don't change those ports. So a "workaround" might be, if having such an ISP, to use other port(s) that are not P2P "classical ones". For Azureus, that might be a random Azureus chosen port (above those 1024 reserved ports, if i'm right). If not, you can still try to chose a port between 1024-65535. I say all this for us not having ISPs spoiling down the hot 10.2 release, among other things :-) Just check if yours do that.

That's your problem. The early Ktorrent versions had "issues". Go to Ktorrent.org and download the source and build that. Keep it around (the source) for when you get 10.2 downloaded because the one SUSE put in there is deliberately crippled as well. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

DHT is disabled.

I am using the one mentioned the other day on the list (2.1beta1) from the Build Service and DHT is working. It worked fine for me (though I only needed the RC1_GM delta, makes a big difference). So in fairness this one was available before 10.2 was officially available for download, and it does NOT appear to be crippled. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

SHhhhhhhhhh ! Someone will hear you.

Maybe that should have been PM. Since it is publicly available, it should be OK to tell the truth "openly".

Complaint on this list a day or two ago was that it would turn off each time you exited and restarted. I can't verify that, because I compiled from source. Not here anyway, it works quite well for a beta (but so did 10.2). ;-)

What is DHT?

The wikipedia has four entries:

Five (at least)

* , a type of distributed system that provides hash table-like functionality

That's the one -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What I had available :-)

In the present usage instance, DHT is used by torrent clients to find additional peers in addition to or in the absence of any peers supplied by trackers.

It allows access to peers even when trackers are blocked or down as long as you can find one peer somewhere that runs DHT.

Ah, ok, I understand. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

You can, I downloaded some iso images from SuSE 9.3 by FTP, and finished the download with Azureus. Add the torrent to Azureus. Force ReCheck and voila! Continue the downloading ;) I suppose that the Force Recheck option assures the image is correct. Cheers, ;) Carlos A.

Azureus is a mature and sophisticated program with a zillion and a half options and information displays (my favorite is the "Swarm" display). It's surely far more than is needed just to share files, but if you like extra fancy software, it's the bee's knees.

I'm using Azureus on my desktop and ktorrent on my laptop. Azureus consistently gives my 350K+ downloads, with rarely a hitch. Often it goes to 500K+. Azureus on the laptop, when it's running XP, does the same.

Ktorrent has yet to go above 50K. For the last hour, it's been in the 10K range -- obviously, it will take days to get the 10.2 dvd that way.

I'm wondering -- can I stop ktorrent and start Azureus to finish it up? Running ktorrent for the past 36 hours has gotten 1.24G. I'm using ktorrent as it came under 10.1 with no modifications to configuration (just as I am with Azureus). Download speed is set to 0 (unlimited). Is there something I can do to fix ktorrent?

Even if Azureus can't pick up ktorrent's chunks, it's probably worthwhile to download and start Azureus, I guess, unless someone can help fix ktorrent.

...

And as others have mentioned, it's not exactly light on resource requirements.

My desktop has 768M, my laptop has 2G of RAM. Both have 2G swap space.

Try Metalink http://en.opensuse.org/Metalink Use rsync to correct if you have md5sum issues. It is now covered on the link.

You can not use metalink to complete an already initiated torrent or ftp download - which is what the poster asked about. You have to start anew. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
