Bit Torrent Q&A, troubleshooting and support

[RollEXE]

One question: how do you seed? Is Bit Spirit much more faster? Ok, maybe that was two but who cares. (*sigh* bad day) My file's taking up 5 days to download , I really need to speed it up but mum wnt let me leave the computer on at night.....

[RikkusRukkus]

Seeding is leaving your Torrent client on after the download is done. Most tracker people prefer you to have a 1:1 ratio (download one MB, upload one) but more is very, very preferred.

Hi I'm wondering which software is the best without any wares in it? I'm thinking of using it but I heard somewhere it could crash a computer. So what do you recommend?

Azureus is good but it might bog down your system if it's really, really crappy. The regular old BT client is the lightest one around but it doesn't minimize to tray. BitTornado and BitComet might be good..
Try in this order: (it never hurts to install and uninstall...)
Azureus
BitComet
BitTornado
BitTorrent

I've got a Mac OS 9.3 and when I try to download from Saito-Raws I either get the error:

ERROR:
error: unknown key --ur
run with no args for parameter explanations

or

ERROR:
trouble accessing files - [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '[Saito-Raws] Rockman.EXE Stream - 43.avi'

Thanks in advance
EDIT: Sorry if I revived a dead topic

I don't think you properly downloaded your BitTorrent client, because that happened to me until I realized I hadn't downloaded it -_-; .

It works fine with WPP and everywhere else I've tried downloading

Then, I have no idea.

I use Bit Lord and it works pretty well for me.

However, when I try to download an episode (more specifically episode 47 of EXE from WPP) they say there's an error in tracking response. Was the torrent not "torrented" correctly or did I not save/download correctly?

I use Azureus just becuase it can have multiple BT DL going on at once and i can look at the progress of each one on one screen

What are the differences between Azureus and BitTorrent? Is Azureus faster/the fastest?

[Ming Yi]

No, it really depends on your connection speed. Programs don't really have much of an impact on them.

just wondering to the people who used them. how fast is your connection? Can somebody with a slow one use the programs?

Well, my connection can be ranged from 1kb-100kbs or above, mostly depends on the number of peers there are available. Programs does NOT have any differences in speed, just in function. For example, Bit Tornado is a good program, but Azurus can be better because you can have mutliple downloading at once and view the status of each.

Ming Yi: If it doesn't work anyhow, I recommend you to use Bit Tornado or similar programs to leech off from BoxTorrents and make it only downloading that specific episode you are talking about.

I've read all this and it doesn't make any sense to me. Everytime I try anything with Bit it doesn't work. I don't have the memory left to d/l bit torrent or anything like it

[cruddpuppet [reo sux]]

my internet connection is 100mbps and the bit programs are still slow and sometimes, the progress bar-y thing doesnt even move.

[ChibiForte]

Okay, I gots a bit of problem here;

When I'm finished downloading something off BT, and I wanna get it off my BT downloader without screwing up the file, what do I do? I was on SR and just finished downloading episode 44 of stream off BT, I hit the X button (or abort download,) and when I went to play the file, it said

[cruddpuppet [reo sux]]

Update your windows media player or get winamp or something

[Synchro-Kun]

There could be two problems:

1. Your file is corrupted. You didn't finish your download, or you corrupted the file yourself. Sometimes, if you don't press 'finish' and press 'x' instead, the BT won't completely finish the file and thus corrupt it.

2. You missed a codec or sort. Update your WMP or get another player, like BS player or Winamp.

If none works, the best is to download the file again.

Try VLC Player. If that doesn't play it, nothing will. Try to open the .torrent file again with your client and make it download to the exact same directory as you had your orignal download. That will make your BT client resume downloading, maybe you're missing a few bytes from the beginning of your file.
