BitCometHater and Esente: it's open-source, for one. I don't remember ludde ever releasing the source code for uT, do you? Didn't think so. If anything, it's closer to Az than uT. You can also specify download order for batch torrents - never saw that in uT. Flame elsewhere.
Closers Torrent Download [portable edition]
I can seed the torrents from several dedicated servers 24/7 with a 100mbit connection... If anybody would be so kind to tell me where I can get all the Wikipedia torrents? Sorry for posting anonoymous, but I cannot login here at the moment. I will sign with my own username here later. (I'm on a school computer at the moment) EDIT: I know there's a download link on this discussion page, but I'm not sure whether there are any more Wikipedia torrents circulating, besides this one.213.126.131.130 (talk) 08:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
(unindent)I'm still very ichy to get a torrent going for it ASAP or exactly on the date (now April 3rd?) so that if the site gets slammed by digg or something it'll still have a solid download link. while leeching/seeding is not new to me, actually establishing a torrent is; is this ready to go or is there anyway i can help?

Will the members of this project get notified before the torrent is made public so we have time to download the CD before everyone else, or will we just join the swarm and hope for the best? I think we should get notified, because that should increase the download speed for everyone.
A possible way to do this would be to create a torrent which is made available to us, but not any major torrent indexes. After we've all downloaded the files, we can submit the torrent to the index sites. Ultra-Loser [ T ] [ C ] 04:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Let me explain, when you're firewalled in a Bit torrent client, your downloads will be slower than someone's who isn't firewalled, but you will still receive files. On the ED2K network, if you're firewalled, you are given a "Low ID" status, and if you're not, you're given a "High ID". Now here is the problem: Low ID's can not connect to other Low ID's, only to High ID's. High ID's can connect to whomever they want to. Now with eMule, there are two networks you are connected to, the KAD network and the ED2K. Here is when you are Firewalled for the KAD network, when this happens, the globe at the bottom right will have a yellow arrow corresponding to the KAD network and the connection info will tell you that you are firewalled. Now, with the ED2K network, when you are firewalled, you will be labeled "Low ID" and firewalled, and the globe arrow which corresponds to the ED2K network will be yellow. When you are downloading, the uploader you are downloading from will see a (Low ID) status next to your wait time. IF you are a High ID person, then there will be no status. Finally, when you are High ID and not firewalled/have a NAT problem, then the yellow arrows will become Blu-ish/Green-ish. Even if you're firewalled, it will still say you're connected next to the globe--because you are. Here is a perfect situation.
Well, not really, but there isn't any word to say what it exactly is. This page tells you how many seeders/leechers we have as well as how many completely downloads of the file have been achieved. If we had two torrents, I think it will show individual torrent statistics. Nominaladversary 23:35, 19 June 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
First, we need to change the main/must achieve/last hurrah goal of this project, or rather, make it the absolute focus...and that is, making a .torrent file of the current WP selection dvd, and providing an adequate download service. We should not move on to a ED2K focus until this goal is completed.
This is possibly the biggest obstacle. We won't be able to have a decent alternative download source unless we have a large amount of people seeding the file, it is after all 3.5gb. Though the file size makes it ideal for a torrent release, we still need to make a base. Spreading the word is the first step, but we need to figure out how to maintain the base and offer reasons for further outreach. Let's contact bittorrent, inc, and all the big name torrent directories.
Now you will notice that your torrents will begin downloading. And also, when you finish configuring your RSS feed, you can use your WebUI to check the status of torrents, or you can continue using your GTK over the remote desktop.
Regardless of what torrent client you use, using BitTorrent will always expose your information in some way or the other. All peers within the same swarm can easily see your data, including IP, country, OS, and even Deluge version. On top of that, even though you might be downloading legal Ubuntu files, your ISP will likely monitor and block all torrent activity.
Deluge appears to be a mess of false error messages, telling me that things are not working when they clearly are. My torrents are definitely downloading, even though there are allegedly port errors, and the port tests all fail. 2ff7e9595c
