Hi, first of all, my english sux... sorry about that.. :(

I am having trouble trying to connect the azureus to internet, I need to use a http sock connection, because here we use a ISA server, and the firewall blocks all ports only the http port is not blocked by it, can anyone help me?
Azureus can do this for me or is there any other btclient that I should use?

thanks

goto the view tab, click configuration, then to server, then click enable proxy and enter in your information below that.

Forget it man, thanks for the help, but look at this:
http://azureus.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/ProxySupport

Azureus version 2.0.8.5 and newer supports proxying of tracker communication only. Unfortunately peer2peer communications cannot be proxied at this time. (We are looking for a way to make this possible in the future.) However, there is a utility program called SocksCap, which can "socksify" any application.

:(((((((((((((((((((((((

Yup, I was looking around and come across that myself. Let me know if sockscap does the trick for you.

Use torrentopia, much better than azureus!

Mushroomhead, stop fanboying Torrentopia instead of helping people solve their problems. Obviously he wants to use Azureus, so lets solve the problem rather than push him elsewhere.

In mushroomheads defense, he did ask if another bt client would be better for this. But he could explain why torrentopia would be better for solving this problem.

Lets see. What is better. Help the guy fix his problem with the client that he likes to use or just push him to another client that is by numbers less popular, which will probably result in the same problem.

You can defend him all you want, but he posts the same thing on every thread. It doesn't help anyone. If anything, it confuses them rather than helping the situation.

Well in my case, torrentopia connects to peers / seeds approx 10x faster than in azureus. I don't know why though. I have a router but i doubt this would leed to anything as such. And also i didnt really need to configure anything. Also, the interface is much easier, not any similar icons in azureus which make the interface look confusing. Just my opinion of torrentopia.

I agree. He isn't trying to suggest another client, he's just fanboying it. I also agree he's said "use torrentopia" on probably 9 out of 10 posts.

Okay i agree, i was fanboying it (does fanboying mean like promoting it), but if anyone can do any research, why would torrentopia connect faster, for me, and faster dling. I have a sitecom adsl modem and a router.

The only person who could do research on your connection would be you.

SocksCAP, what a wonderful program. I don't think I could survive without it. I use it to tunnel through firewalls everyday.

Did you UNcheck the option in Azureus that tells it to connect to peers slowly? Without it, it connects just as fast as any other client, IMO.

also set max connections and peers to unlimited (0) otherwise you will only connect to 100 max.

perhaps you should forget about Azureus and get something that really works for you!

just a suggestion!
