This is because they demand much more upload from the tracker than the new clients. (this is because the new clients support "compact tracker protocol", also called "UDP tracker client protocol" and the old clients dont.)

This way i can help seeding, and it allows me to configure the trackers in a way that would increase download speeds in general, and allows the tracker to handle more clients.

edit:
for short:

Code:

clients that are cosidered "old" are:
- ABC < v2.6.7
- Azureus < v2.0.8.2
- BitComet < v0.53
- BitTornado < v0.2.0
- Mainline < v3.4.1
- TorrentStorm < v1.2.2
- Ed2k Bittorrent Plugin < 0.0

update:
I implemented the ban rules, so if youre still able to connect youre fine images/smilies/wink.gif

Well, thats hosed my unix client.

Anyone know of a non GUI BT client for FreeBSD? other than the one in the 'ports' collection??

Is this going to be a permanent change or a temporary one? Is this the tracker thats used for every Top Gear / Fith Gear realease, or just: Top Gear - 2004.12.12.avi.torrent ?

Cheers,

Marc.

Permanent AFAIK and this is the tracker that's used for all releases here. Those old clients just use too much bandwidth, espcially now with the number of clients that are getting on these torrents.

That's a seperate issue and unrelated to this one. Give it like 5 or 10 minutes and if you're still unable to connect, check out this thread:

Well you shouldn't have been using that shitty client in the first place. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Seriously, it barely supports the BT protocol.

infiniti · December 14th, 2004, 08:47 PM

Shareaza is utter crap

PizzaPro · December 14th, 2004, 09:06 PM

What is the most usefull client ?

Actually using Azureus, and the speed is far less than with Shareaza images/smilies/wacko.gif

did you do some port-forwarding? As explained in http://gear.viper007bond.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1853

Viper007Bond · December 14th, 2004, 09:17 PM

Speeds shouldn't really matter with whatever client you're using AFAIK.

And I use Azureus. It's more resource heavy, but I have a good computer and like the extra features.

what the heck is a "CLI BitTorrent client"?

ESPNSTI · December 14th, 2004, 09:26 PM

CLI = Command Line Interpreter perhaps?

it will be a peranent change. you should be able to find newer versions of your software, or perhaps the mainline client will work? http://bittorrent.com/download.html
but im no FreeBSD guru so im not the right guy to advise you. You should be able to help yourself though... Google is usefull from time to time.

PizzaPro · December 14th, 2004, 09:30 PM

Ok thank you.

- sorry no I did no any any post-forwarding on that issue images/smilies/oops.gif

, unlike I'm used to do, so I will for my next interrogations images/smilies/wink.gif

-

Oh, and by the way, as it was my very first post on your forums :

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing all this stuff Viper007bond images/smilies/biggrin.gif

And all others behind and around that wonderfull initiative.

I have the latest Bittornado client for linux and I'm getting that error. Something is screwed up on the setup here, and because of this limitation, I won't be able to use my 10mbit pipe to seed images/smilies/sad.gif

SPG900 · December 15th, 2004, 12:27 AM

Shareaza may be crap, but it was the only BT thing I was able to install. images/smilies/wacko.gif

WTF!! I finished downloading TG 12-12 before this started, but if BT 3.4.2 doesn't work .. WTF!!

It said it should work at the begining of this thread. I just upgrade torrentflux and bittorrent to 3.4.2.

Give bittornado a go. I have heard good things about it, but never used.

Cobreth · December 15th, 2004, 01:09 AM

And what are us Mac users supposed to use? I've tried BitTorrent's own client as well as Tomoto.

What'll work? /images/smilies/blink.gif
