I have long used Transmission, even though it is lacking in features. I like Ktorrent better, but it doesn't work well in Gnome. A couple times in the past I tried Azureus, but could never get it to work. That was on Ubuntu. Now I am on Fedora 11 and decided to try it again. After much hassle I finally got 4.0.0.3 working. (But don't suggest updating to 4.3 because the updater just crashes.)
So here I am trying to download a file by torrent with my newly installed Vuze. Vuze can't get the tracker to respond. I left it trying for an hour with no luck. So I stopped the torrent in Vuze and launched Transmission. Transmission also failed to get the tracker to respond, but in spite of not getting a response from the tracker, Transmission started downloading the pieces. That was half an hour ago and it has downloaded half the file, at a rate of 200 KB/s. I am very muy mucho confused and Google isn't helping. How can Transmission download the pieces without communicating with the tracker? If Transmission doesn't need the tracker, why does Vuze just sit and do nothing until it gets an OK from the tracker? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
