Humpty Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 You could try DTaskmanager from the link below. Don't know all of it's capabilities as yet but may help. Or maybe process explorer from sysinternals. DTaskmanager link Process Explorer link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFiresInTheSky Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 1st one, it was corrupted so i couldnt run it. 2nd one didnt work either, it locked itself up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Yep I tried to download DTaskmanager and it was corrupted.In fact all the downloads from that site seem to be corrupted ATM. Process Explorer locking up? Haven't used it myself but have seen it recommended quite a few times. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Maybe try another BitTorrent client such as the official one from bittorrent.com Personally I use ABC [Another BitTorrent Client], it seems okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnDemolition Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 my 2 cents here. do NOT use BitComet. it is the most horrible BitTorrent client to ever exist. it hammers the tracker and the peers, it doesn't respect the private flag on all torrents(meaning that unregistered users can gain access on private torrent sites), and it also has some other various problems. i, personally, recommend ?Torrent . i've used it ever since version 1.2 and i will never go back to using another client.

Moderators hazelnut Posted October 9, 2006 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'm okay with Shareaza. Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Shareaza is very nice since it's the only decent Gnutella and Gnutella2 client that i've seen. however, i believe that it also has problems since some trackers have Shareaza banned. not sure what it has problems with though. i also use Shareaza btw. i tried out Gnucleus but that one barely worked so i'm sticking with it.

Eldmannen Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I tried Shareaza too, but didn't like that it had skins. It seemed a little bloated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFiresInTheSky Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 i find this kinda awkward, i cant end the process so i log off thinking it will close the process. well the process stays running after i log back in! i have to restart to end bitcomet..

JohnDemolition Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 you could always try changing to a better client such as ?Torrent so that you won't have to deal with those issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFiresInTheSky Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 i tried it, either it didnt like the fact that im using comcast or it was a firewall/router issue which i couldnt figure out so i stopped wasting my time on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgan Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 give utorrent a try, you wont regret it, trust me:) www.utorrent.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFiresInTheSky Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 it kept locking up and wasnt downloading many of the torrents even though they were public and there were seeders 20min before i downloaded the torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted October 20, 2006 Moderators Share Posted October 20, 2006 I use azureus and its the fastest one I've tried. I only download the stuff from the old tech tv guys though so maybe my experience isn't the best since they literally have thousands of seeders almost all the time. I keep utorrent on my flashdrive though just in case but I've never actually used it to download anything on another computer.(I used it on my pc though and azureus was faster for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 it kept locking up and wasnt downloading many of the torrents even though they were public and there were seeders 20min before i downloaded the torrent. sounds like a router issue to me. but then again, ?Torrent does have UPnP support. what do you mean by locking up? btw, please don't tell me your ISP is rogers edit: i pointed out the errors in BitComet but i guess i'll do it again. BitComet is a client which completely abuses the BitTorrent protocol. it updates the tracker every 5 or 20 seconds(which puts a HUGE load on the trackers since more than one person is using the tracker.), it hammers the peers(it prevents them from disconnecting and harasses them), it doesn't seed very well(believe me, i've ran torrents that had BitComet only peers which seeded slow as hell), it has bad DHT-support(does not respect the Private flag of Private torrents and therefore exposes the torrents to other people that use DHT), and some other issues.because of that, a LOT of trackers BAN BitComet from even connecting. i guess the only nice thing about BitComet is that it's great for downloading. and i think that's about it. edit2: wow, i just looked at the trusty wikipedia and it seems that BitComet is even worse than i knew. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitComet#BitC..._DHT_Criticisms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
