[SLUG] btlaunch...
OK so I want to use BT efficiently. I want to keep seeding the files that I download (Ubuntu anyone :-) but I also want to give priority to my new downloads. a) I am on Optus and I get huge bandwidth 12:15am - 11:45am so I want to throttle at other times. b) the man pages talks about download priorities but the doco is vague as and I cannot find a decent howto. Best pointer I have was was to slug with a dead link http://www.sogono.net/carlo/misc/linuxtorrents/ Has anyone got a decent description on how to set this up and what happens when you run this program. For example: Old torrents have been downloaded with btdownloadgui does the new process 'know' where they were sent to. How does it know where 'new' torrents are to be sent? Interesting is that Suse clearly describes how to seed their distribution in BT, Ubuntu does not. -- Ken Foskey FOSS developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Fedora 6 nfs mounts
Hi sluggers, I am an Ubuntu user working on a Fedora core 6 system and I am confused. I want a simple thing that happens by default on Ubuntu, I want my nfs mounts to appear on the Desktop and under the Computer icon. I have mounted an nfs directory under /media and also tried /mnt. I have selected 'volumes_visable' in gconf-editor under apps - nautilus - desktop and still nothing. As always, suggestions appreciated.

You might want to consider Azureus, the overhead is a little big (java - hey its Free now!) but it will have all the features you need maybe with a plugin. dave Ken Foskey wrote: OK so I want to use BT efficiently.

Re: [SLUG] howto convert html to pdf?
On 11/14/06, Sonia Hamilton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I (well my boss actually) want to convert several hundred html pages to pdf - what's the easiest way to do this? Any pointers, ideas? We're using Apache FOP for html - pdf conversion. It might be slightly more involved than the other tools people have suggested, however it will give you a lot of control over the final pdf (via xslt). We looked at some of the single-shot command line tools and found that fop produced nicer documents, albeit with a few more steps. It's Java though, this may or may not be an issue for you. Link below gives some examples of how to use it from the command line, as well as in code. http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2006/jw-0410-html.html?page=1 Home page is at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/ If you do use it, grab the latest version, handles tables etc. much better.

Best pointer I have was was to slug with a dead link http://www.sogono.net/carlo/misc/linuxtorrents/ I used to maintain this site but I didn't bother renewing our web hosting package. Too expensive. I still have those scripts somewhere if you need them, they're not for throttling but for managing torrents from the command line (my home machine does not have X). For throttling you would want to use qdisc from the iproute2+tc packages. You can prioritise certain ports like HTTP and give less priority to BT ports.

[SLUG] graphical file manager for linux?

[SLUG] ubuntu 6.10 hangs on shutdown
