Software - Best Torrent Client?

Which is the best torrent client to use for Kanotix? I live in school so I have no control over the router or firewall, but I used to use Azureus on Windows XP and I knew how to tweak the settings

You can use Azureus!

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get install azureus

For me is Ktorrent. I had big problems with Azureus: connection to Internet completely lost for all software every few minutes...

I recently started using torrents and played with azureus and ktorrent before settling on ktorrent. Azureus is more fully featured but I figure I don't want such a heavyweight java app running as a background process. Ktorrent does everything you need and does it well. It also looks better than azureus given that it is a native KDE app.

heard about ktorrent being blocked on some trackers - real or rumor?

Seems to be real but I don't know why, under Windows I'm used to uTorrent.

I want to use something different...I tried using Azureus but it doesn't download anything which I think is because of my school firewall and I have no control over it...If I use ktorrent I can download the same thing, but at slow speeds like 3 kb/s

Well, maybe at your school they are slowing down ports which are usually used by Torrent clients. Or it's a bad seeder / leecher ratio, network overload, whatever Winken

Me too

The uTorrent guys are promising a client for linux with the next major release...

You can try

Thanks for the uTorrent (guide) link but I think I will wait for the real Linux client then Smilie

Edit: Seems that there is quite a number of Torrent clients avail. but if you want working ipfilter.dat support then you are quite limited. Therefore uTorrent will be definitly nice to see.

No, it's because the school doesn't open up any ports. I always get torrents with more seeders than downloaders

Hello!

IIRC There used to be a problem with files larger than 2 GB (or was the problem
with particular filesystem) with KTorrent. What is the best linux torrent client
for files larger than 4 GB ???

Thanks, Roman

fat32 is limited at 4gb.. besides that (copying >4gb-files from reiserfs to fat), i never had trouble with t-clients downloading large files.. and i used ktorrent too. so, i dont think it depends on the used torrent-client.

is your incoming-folder on a fat32-partition?

Hello!

No, it was not FAT32 IIRC. Maybe the incoming folder was located on the network share ...

i like azureus the most, its very configurable and whenever i tried something else i allways missed some feature from azureus. You can have it send you a sms (if you pay) when a particular file is finished! And you can have it run ip-filters to highten security

That guide for running utorrent through wine is gigantic. Simply put it somewhere logical like ~/apps/utorrent/utorrent.exe, navigate to it, and run wine utorrent.exe .

You can also create an application shortcut to it with kde, just remember to set the workpath to the directory the executable is in or you could run into problems.

Is IP blocking through ipfilter.dat supported (and working)? Seems to be a problem for some clients which are using rlibtorrent 0.11

damentz - 01.12.2006, 05:28 Uhr
Titel:

IP blocking is fruitless, use encryption (obfuscation) and use torrents with massive amounts of seeders and leechers if you think you will be caught.

I've tried using other clients but in the end I always remain happy using bittornado (with the gui). I find that it is simple, small, and to the point. It always works great and never fails me, I've been using it for years now and still love it. I would definently try it out, it's already included with kanotix and you can get the gui by using apt.

On another note I just started messing around with Opera Browser again and noticed it has a torrent client built into it which seems to work pretty nice.
