lol, that too. utorrent uses like 10mb max. rtorrent is economic too i suppose?

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

...so I shouldn't be using Azureus? Wasn't it one of you mofos who recommended it to me?

(btw I just had a "sheer beauty" moment when I opened up Synaptics, checked the Apache packages, and typed in my IP address in Firefox)

i used it before, cause it was the only torrent manager for linux i knew, but i wouldn't recommend it. it needs a lot of dependencies and, like martin said, requires quite a lot of resources. it has some nice options but all in all, you can do better.

Haha, I love it how you say that like we're talking about 5 months ago, not 5 days

no i did use it like a week ago the last time, that was when my mandriva was still operational. than in the meantime came edgy and fedora so i did a complete reinstall of all 3 distros just a few days ago and now i just don't feel like installing azureus again cause of the dependencies. that's why i said i really want utorrent for linux. it's the best damn client.

Yeah I used uTorrent in WinXP, it was great... tiny (didn't even require an install, I loved that), quick and straightforward

 

[Martin]

if you want small and swift, once again rtorrent

 

[V]

martin you bastard!

 

[Martin]

Beautiful, isn't it

 

[V]

definetly not what i had in mind.

 

[Martin]

One isn't a mind reader is one :smile:

 

[V]

of course. i'm trying really hard to figure out how do i work with that thing. i'd had no problem using it if it gave good performance.

 

[Martin]

Well I use azureus so

btw martin, you on gentoo or kubuntu?

 

[Martin]

gentoo since 2002

 

[V]

i thought you switched to ubuntu. i remember you once said something like; "for 5 years i've been using gentoo and i have never came across anything that comes even close, untill ubuntu."

To be fair, Ubuntu comes a lot close-er. But gentoo is still a lot more flexible.

I was running ubuntu on my desktop pc back in Norway, cause now that I'm back in Holland my family can handle ubuntu more easily than gentoo.

 

[V]

damn it, what are you? polish, norweigan or dutch?

 

[Martin]

Polish/Norwegian, but I'm considering adding one or two more.
