    What does everyonr think about the new bittorrent 4.0?

    it is the official client and ihave used it and i have notice much better proformance then any other bt client . I still hate the the fact no peer stats no priorty settings and no firewall info. I guess i can use this untill the next version of tornado has this new protocol info.

    This should the cause for better performance. Original bt share in a way that download rate is somewhat positively related to upload rate(your contribute to the torrent). So it is reasonable that the official client don't want the user to adjust setting easyly, in order to maintain the healthy, well balanced transfer status.

    I think everyone should leave BT and move away from this web based leech program. Lets get back to the way everyone use to share files.

    it's irrelevant

    azureus and others have already surpassed the original client by factors of 10 as far as usability and performance are concerned

    the original client has been marginalized for a long time

    Not really. They are all based on the original spec, after all. Minor tweakage, is all.

    How do you mean Mel?

    Is not the basis of BT to prevent leeching and encourage sharing?

    Yeah really Mel? I know you were a BT hound for awhile....

    I mean it has it's security problems that can't be fixed, but there's still power in numbers and nothing makes for a faster dl beside ftp.

    maybe mell wants us to use anonimus programs.
    lol
    Seriusly though, there's nothing as fast and quick as bt. All the decentualized networks are great for popular content but nothing even comes close to bt for rarer content.

    Can only download one file at a time?

    Is this true, that you can't download more than one file at a time? Forget where I read this.

    crap, I like the additions but still don't like the fact it ferries me away to a donation page everytime I click a link or hassles me now and again asking if I have donated then again pushing me off to the donation page.

    I will stick with Bittornado for now

    Now if you could only make it half that far with common decentcy to the ZP community then maybe you might have it made.

    Yeh REAALLY! BT is one of the few P2P aps that makes it basically IMPOSSIBLE to leech..............I wonder how Mels could possibly miss this......
    CAPITAL punishment for infringement is a CAPITAList's dream.
