BitTorrent GUI for SuSE?
After having Azureus completely trash my network and or system 5 times I am giving up on it. Is there any other GUI BitTorrent client for SuSE 9.1 Pro? Where are the .rpm files? Will Yast install them? Thanks to everyone for their comments. john

Just out of curiousity, what did Azureus do to your system(s)? I've used that almost exclusively on my Linux machine (and Windows) and have never had a problem with it. I've always grabbed the code right off of azureus.sourcegforge.net -- Nothing to compile, just extract & run the azureus script... Assuming you DO have the Java runtime stuff installed and working, it's all Java-based... Should really have the ability to trash things...

This is an mp3 download program. Far from a BitTorrent client.
LimeWire is a Gnutella file-sharing client and is far from being limited to MP3 sharing.

Then clue me how to point it to a .torrent file.
I didn't say it was compatible with BitTorrent's protocols (I don't know one way or another whether BitTorrent is compatible with Gnutella or not). What I said was that LimeWire is not specific to MP3 sharing as you claimed.

What's the big problem? I corrected a statement you made, not in the header, but in the body of the message. Just admit you were wrong, OK?

Could you give a slightly better definition of 'trash'? I know that if you don't limit the upload bandwidth that Azureus (and any other bittorrent client) will lock you up so badly that hardly any other traffic than bittorrent is getting through. Did you limit the upload bandwidth? Just right click in the right lower corner where it shows the current limit, and decrease it such that you have enough bandwidth left to do your other online work. If the problem is otherwise: please let me know what Azureus is doing to your network. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff

I will try this. I did have it set for unlimited uploads. john

I am either seeing complete lock up such that I have to pull the plug to reboot or complete loss of network function. Sometimes including the inability to load eth0 after reboot. In my definition that is Trash. Peace john

That sounds like the unlimited upload problem. I found that I had to throttle the uploads back to about 2/3rds of the theoretical upoload bandwidth of my cable modem if I wanted anything else on the network to be able to download at reasonable speeds. -- Andrew Brown What I do: www.darwinwars.com What I'm up to: www.thewormbook.com/helmintholog/

Where can I set this as a default?
AFAIK it keeps its settings from the last time, so if you set it once it should stay set that way. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff

Well, maybe there are other people out there doing nasty things with rpms, but the azureus rpm in my repository -all gpg signed with my key- ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-gbv/rpms/ uses all the source and precompiled libraries from sourceforge.net ;) And about a bittorrent GUI, you also can get rpms from the same directories.

No doubth about it Guillermo, I wasn't pointing, but when I hear these thinks like 'trash the system' and lockups with software that I see as solid and stabile, some alarm bells start to go off in my head, even with Java apps, and even on a *nix box. The Azureus site specifically warns about it. "To avoid spyware, please always get your Azureus from Sourceforge" Maybe you could ask the Azureus developers to PGP sign your rpms? Theo -- Theo v.

The one I got is from the SuSE CD. I am going to get the new one from sourceforge now as it is a java client I dont really need a yast install. john
