New Azureas update!

I tried the 3.0 Beta quite some time ago. I am going to stick with 2.5.

 

If you search about, the general consensus is 3.0 is worth avoiding.

 

Ditto... I reverted to 2.5.4. I do not want the bloat of 3.0.x

 

Azureus 2.5 was bloated enough. 3.0 is like a fat man at a buffet. CRAM MORE IN!

BitRocket's lightweight but unstable, so that's out. Good thing Transmission is about to be unbanned from private trackers, there's a terrible dearth of decent BitTorrent clients (read: µTorrent) on OS X. And I'm not confident the port of µTorrent to OS X that's been promised with its new ownership will be worth running either.

Once Transmission is unbanned, it'll be the best option for most people. If they could fold transport encryption in there, it'd be the best hands down.

 

^They need to do selective downloading as well. So you don't have to download everything if you're only looking for, say, one song off an album.

 

PEX support really helps now. I have to agree that selective downloading is a must though.

 

that would be nice, haven't heard this news....

 

Forget about Azureus. Xtorrent, Transmission & BitRocket are the ultimate BT clients.

 

Don't worry folks, there will be a fork. No need to worry about future releases of Azureus. Stick with 2.5 for now.

I guess I just don't get it. Azureus is what I open my .torrents in. Safari is where I get my .torrents. iTunes is where I store my completed torrents.

Why the bloody hell would I ever want to use Azureus for all that??

Who knows? But it will be gone soon.

 

version 3.x.x.x is banned on a lot of trackers.
way too much extra bloat.
i'm sticking with 2.5.0.4

 

Only if you are the noob of all BT noobs - otherwise, all three fall well short of what is expected from a full-featured client. Of course, if you don't know what you're missing, well...

 

Using XTorrent for finding AND downloading torrents is a big plus for me. I really want selective downloads though...

 

If XTorrent could scour several of the top notch private trackers it'd be OK for some things, but those public sites are Kazaa-esque in their quality at times. Regardless, selective downloads are the deal-breaker. And most CPUs purchased this decade can handle the Java-bloat without too much trouble.

If you are on the Pig, the 'Noid and a few other private boards, there's little XTorrent can find that I'd trust over most.

 

Now that Transmission is supported on the Pig, f**k Azureus

 

Why would that be? Sans the Vuze stuff, how is it any different?

Anyway, I'm glad there will be a branch for a version that doesn't include that silly Vuze stuff, even though it can be pretty much turned off completely.

Not until they have selective downloading at least.

 

According to the developer there is some nice stuff coming for Xtorrent in the future.

 

Most of the features he promised have to be implemented in Transmission first (xtorrent is a frontend to the Transmission core).

 

Seeing as Transmission is open source, there is nothing stopping him from doing this himself.

 

I've talked to Dave Watanabe about this and he made it seem like he was waiting for us (Transmission guys) to implement it.

And in the spirit of open source software, if he does do such a thing I would hope he would give back to the libtransmission source.

 

Ah I see. Thanks for the update .

That would certainly be in keeping with the spirit of the project. I did not realise you were part of the Transmission team .

 

Where can I get Azureas 2.5? I can't download it off their site but if I choose 3.0 then the download comes up I guess they want people to get 3.0
