BitTorrent++ w/ Mozilla

[Plaguewielder]

I just d/led BitTorrent++ and d/led a couple apps. I like it a lot. It's fast and even works through my router. My only problem is that I have to browse torrent sites with IE because when clicking torrent links Mozilla, all I get is a page with a few lines of gibberish. How does one go about setting up Mozilla to allow BT++ to take torrent links? More specifically, what does one enter as the MIME type for torrent files?

I know BT proper works with Mozilla, but I don't like that client very much at all.

Thanks for any helpful answers. And much gratitude to the mods if I can last one day without getting banned. :fire

Hehe, BitTorrent is yet another P2P piracy haven. You can find full albums, television shows, warez, ect. on various "torrent sites."

Here's a good one: http://www.suprnova.org/

Of course, they don't host the illegal content, just index it like ShareReactor or Kazaa Links. So, I do believe it's ok to post the link here.

way to screw it up for everyone--now a flood of kazaa morons are going to try it, and ask a lot of stipid questions

You mean there were people so ignorant as to believe that there are P2P networks that don't have tons of pirated material? I was under the impression that even the most naive of newbies would know from just browsing this site for a short while that P2P is all about one thing. I'm just calling a spade a spade here, not revealing any dark, obscure mysteries. The government knows, the RIAA/MPAA knows, and even my grandmother up the road knows why P2P is such a hit.

Oh shit, that was mean. Sorry, Tremaine. I guess things that I think are blatantly obvious really aren't so for everyone.

I don't like Bittorrent++, It is still very new, things don't seem to work right yet.

It is very pretty, but changing the bandwidth setting only works if you exit/restart the program and you cant play and upload a file at the same time..(this is horrible for the network)

The proper client does not allow bandwith control, yuk!

The best client IMHO. It allows bandwidth control, works w/ mozilla. It allows you to limit the bandwidth per file (the faster you upload a file, the faster you download the file) The only thing it needs is just to minimize to the system tray.

didnt know there was a bt++. where?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares about bandwidth control? I turn them on before I go to sleep, wake up in the morning and they're all done and I'm uploading away. That's the way to do it. I'll try your version though. BitTorrent is the freakin' awesomest ever. I just wish people would feel the spirit of it and stop leeching.

Limiting your upstream to 29kb/s when the max is 32kb/s so that you can surf the web and get decent download speeds while uploading is hardly leeching. Especially since it is you who are paying for your connection after all. Sure, they provide the network and client, but that is worthless without users to serve up the files. It's all about compomise.
