well.. the title says it already...

Having 3 different clients for BT available now and none has a GUI ready, so which one do u think is/will be your favourite?

Please comment.

regards,
tokai

I choose MLdonkey but it needs a GUI.

i prefer MlDonkey, because i've it running on my Peg1
and i like to control it from my Peg2 or from my wife's laptop.
MlDonkey need a MuiGUI

I voted for bittorrent on principal, or what I will slowly be switching too -- but it at a minimum needs a MUI window that can be iconified without popping back open all the time.... I think it has the most potential of the three.

i chose ctorrent as it doesn't need any settings, i just enter 'ctorrent <torrent file>' and it starts to download or freezes... if the first happen, i'm happy

Hi,

I'm using mldonkey on linux for torrents, but I'd like to ask:

Can mldonkey work with a browser as interface or do you need to talk telnet ?

How stable is mldonkey for Mos ( when working with miami ...)?
bye

@judas

my peg1 is online since 21days with mldonkey-mos and MiamiDX
is this stable enough?

you can use it with a browser

Quote:

Yes, it can.

i go for MLDonkey. Together with enqueue-torrent you have everything
you need. Nonetheless it's nice to have other options, such as
bittorrent + ctorrent, as well.

/me agrees with Ingo

here here...

Good poll tokai.

I vote fot ML donkey GUI - we already have ctorrent which is fine...

I was using Amigift with great success until
latest Mos update, then it quit.
Now I use MLDonkey and IBrowse or CTorrent,
both work ok but need nice GUI.
I use them with MiamiDX.

I vote for BitTorrent (4.1.1). The only client of mentioned three I managed to get running and downloading in two minutes, without too much hassle.

@henes, druideck:

amster and amigift do not support bittorrent, so therefore unrelated.

I like Bittorrent 4.1.1 very much, I was using MLD for BTs before.

let's see...

-ctorrent freeze
-bittorrent left with a "<frozen>:38: DeprecationWarning: the whrandom module is deprecated; please use the random module
Error opening terminal: unknown." error then quit
-and mldonkey, hmm, well :)

is it possible to add a "suicide myself" option to the poll?

thefab:

did you read the documentation at all?

bittorrent:
- the warning is harmless
- you do not have a TERM variable set
- you prolly not have the terminfo descriptions installed

It's all described in the "ReadMe!" file, better: RTFM!

hmmm,

i've just noticed the 'setenv save term' did not save anything...

so with the right var it works better
