Anyone use Azureus **switched to utorrent still problems**

I am always yellow. Any help would be appreciated.

have you looked into port forwarding or firewalls?

[quote7432804fce="rooster"]have you looked into port forwarding or firewalls?[/quote7432804fce]

I am pretty stupid. I have no idea what port forwarding is...

If you are yellow, then do an offer [/joke]

select your router
select your torrent client
configure router/ports

la dee da dee dee da doo. have fun.

My advice Switch to Bitlord and Google "Optimizing Bitlord"

I used to use Azereus(and many other programs) but have had the best luck with bitlord.

Individual results may vary...

I'm always yellow too. My dh has looked at it before but had huge problems getting things to work right. In the end they never did actually. Our desktop (which is where I use azureus) connects through our wireless network. Also he said something about having a lot of trouble with getting it to work with static IPs and not wanting to use them.

I love Azureus. I get the fastest downloads and I love the RSS feed plugin. You need to forward the port, like everyone said...

Azerus FTW

If you use linksys go to 192.168.1.1 in IE. password should be admin

Go to applications and gaming, port range forwarding

6881-6889 protocol is both

Then go to start, run, cmd, and type ipconfig.
Look at what it says.
The last 3 numbers of your IP is what you need, enter that on the port range page then check enable and hit continue.

That should work.

Then change the default password to something else and I'd use a non-default port range...

I use it.

i dont use it no more

I use uTorrent. It barely uses up any RAM. Azureus runs on Java, so it's resource hungry.

I've heard that a lot but I never got uTorrent to work right...

If you have slow download speeds, you can read this http//torrentfreak.com/optimize-your-bittorrent-download-speed/.

It's easy to get azureus to work right....It seems like everytime I reinstall it, it takes me about 3 second to get the port forwarding set up.....I know it's a lot easier than xbconnect was to get working...

I just love it when people say stuff like that. lol

Define "resource hungry." If you're trying to run it on a 486 with 16MB of RAM it might be a problem. People complaining about resource utilization while running on a recent vintage CPU with 1GB+ of RAM and doing nothing else at the time but surfing the web just crack me up. ) It's not like the mainframe world where you pay for CPU cycles. It's pretty difficult to get a Windows machine to use all available RAM and CPU, unless you have a program hang in a tight loop or otherwise run amok. So what if it allocates 100MB or 200MB of RAM? Big whoop, unless you're running a game, and then you probably shouldn't be downloading in the background.

I've never had a problem running Azureus or most any other [i488c7ffdc7]well-written[/i488c7ffdc7] Java application on any machine I've had over the past several years. I've tried most of the other BitTorrent clients, and have always come back to Azureus -- in my opinion it's simply the best of breed.

I run an awful lot of Java applications, and I write them too. Good Java performs as well as any other language. Poor Java, like poor anything else, will run like crap.

uTorrent ftmfw.

uTorrent takes less time to download. BEAT THAT ARGUMENT!

Prove it P

I won't make a general statement about "resources", but I notice that Azureus does take longer to load on my machine than uTorrent. shrug

Azureus does use a lot more resources than uTorrent but it doesn't affect my system...

Startup time is definitely slower for Azureus, no argument there. Loading up any sizeable Java app is going to be slower than a natively compiled application. You're cranking up a VM, you know. ;) But again, does it matter that it took 2 seconds to start uTorrent vs. 9 seconds to start Azureus? (I just clocked Azureus startup at 9 seconds on my PC, btw). How often do you start/stop a client? P

And I didn't say Azureus didn't use more resources than uTorrent either, I just argue that it doesn't [iefb4496fe9]matter[/iefb4496fe9]. Azureus is more feature-rich and with more extension support than uTorrent or any other client I've seen, so the increased "resource utilization" is a red-herring argument, in my opinion. Or would that be a "straw man" argument? Guess it's time to dust off those old fallacious logic textbooks again... P

I don't disagree. It's just something I noticed. ;)

Feature-wise I do prefer Azureus, and was glad to move to it from BitComet after all the negative hype about resource issues. It's far better than many claim. I do have to say that I've experienced more crashes with Azureus than BitComet or uTorrent, but then again, I've used those less. At the moment I have Azureus as my desktop client, but deployed uTorrent on the laptop. There just seemed to be some lag when I tried Azureus first, and not just the splash screen. I'll give it another shot though. There's been a few version changes.

What plugins do you use on Azureus that don't come already with uTorrent? Just curious.

Is the RSS feed on uTorrent?

I thought Dmorris would be a huge advocate for uTorrent shock

I will never use Azureus. I try to steer clear from anything Java-based. Never EVER had a problem with uTorrent. Runs with ~2.2KB memory -- even my GMail notifier uses more memory. Also, uTorrent [i1d824a1b48]does[/i1d824a1b48] have RSS feeds
http//www.utorrent.com/rsstutorial.php
but I never use them since RSS isn't really a reliable way of downloading torrents (ie. TV series, etc.), and I don't feel like setting up all kinds of reg. expressions.

I also use rTorrent on my Slackware seeding box. It works fine for a command-line torrent program ) and besides....Azureus and uTorrent are going commercial anyways...

uTorrent has RSS, but I don't use it either. My system can handle any program, but I still prefer uTorrent. I used to use Azureus, but I tried uTorrent and never went back.

I use bitcomet, Azureues took up too much CPU time for me.

I switched to utorrent. I still can't get the whole port forwarding thing. I suck at this shit. I tried to follow instructions but I can't find the exact router. I have a Voip Linksys phone router.....

What is the model number of your router? There should be an application(or similar) tab in the web interface that has several spaces to add an IP and port number.
