Bellies Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I think I must have tried most of the P2P clients for Mandrake; MLDonkey, GTK-Gnutella, Limewire, Napshare, X-Mule, Emule and GiFT Right off the bat I don't like any of them but which one should I persuavere with? Your opinions please. NB: I would like to use both Gnutella and Gnutella 2 protocols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 The best is bittorrent. (urpmi bittornado). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I don't think bittorrent is exactly what you are looking for, but it is an option. I would advise you to persevere with Limewire or otherwise get gtk-gnutella Limewire is my favourite though, although I hardly ever use P2P.

dmzeplin Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I downloaded BitTorrent 3.9.1, but I can't find the application to open up?? I assume that BitTorrent is best as I looked around... slocated BitTorrent, and got /usr/share/pixmaps/BitTorrent But I don't see any application? I tried to click to open up?? I didn't know LimeWire do have for Linux?? :unsure: David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Install bittornado (open a console, log in as root and type: urpmi bittornado). Download a torrent, rightclik the torrent and choose 'opwn with'. In the command bar type: btdownloadgui.py. Next time you double click a torrent bittornado will open up. Tip for sppedy downloads: limit your upload (choose 54k/isdn) and if you have a router forward ports 6551-6889. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmzeplin Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) I open a console, log in as root and type: urpmi bittornado).

devries Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/devel/10.2/i586/media/contrib/BitTornado-0.3.8-2mdk.noarch.rpm It means you haven't setup the urpmi repositories. Read the faqs about urpmi. I haven't tried qnext. Seems interesting though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmzeplin Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) Hey, still not success... I decide to remove BitTorrent 3.9.1 then re do with install from Easy Urpmi, Bittorrent 3.4.2.... Guess nothing work.... Wait a minute, I found: usr/share/man/man1/bittorrent-downloader.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/bittorrent-multi-downloader.1.bz2 /usr/share/doc/bittorrent-3.4.2 /usr/share/doc/bittorrent-3.4.2/LICENSE.txt /usr/share/doc/bittorrent-3.4.2/README.txt /usr/share/doc/bittorrent-3.4.2/credits.txt /usr/share/mimelnk/application/x-bittorrent.desktop /usr/share/mime/application/x-bittorrent.xml I noticed bittorent-downloader.1.bz2, do I need to type in root for extract it?? If so, what should I type?? tar xvf?? Edited February 19, 2005 by dmzeplin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 You don't need the bittorrent but the bittornado package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmzeplin Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I clicked one of your link to get Bittorando, but my screen showed: Some package requested cannot be installed: BitTornado-0.3.8-2mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied python-base[>= 2.4]) do you agree ? Huh? If too complication, just disregarding... I can try something else... Thanks and hate to waste on this issue again and again... Thanks again!

dmzeplin Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Hey, I will start all over, by remove all Bittorrent files..... Can you help me to do with first step by step?? Hope you mind? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havin_it Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I think for orig. poster and mr. zeppelin, a key thing to know about bittorrent is it has no builtin search utility. I think that's what SoulSe was hinting at. You have to find the torrent files yourself on the web - not so easy now the MPAA is opening cans of whup-ass all over.

Guest mod_a Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 the MPAA is opening cans of whup-ass all over. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> this is very true, torrentspy.com is where i find my stuff. it has a firefox plugin to add to the search thing in the browser which is very handy.

dmzeplin Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 (edited) I clicked the link this: http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distr...2mdk.noarch.rpm after I click install it.... it appeared: Some package requested cannot be installed: BitTornado-0.3.8-2mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied python-base[>= 2.4]) do you agree ? Seems that I need to add some package before Bittorando?? Edited February 20, 2005 by dmzeplin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the solution is an alternative ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
