Did You Know There's An OpenSource Alternative Client?

Here here :cheers:

Ahhh BEER! CHEERS

Now for Linux Transmission seems pretty popular and light weight and with a CLI too...

I wasn't complaining at all, I'm saying the company tells you that the toggle switch removes every bit of their proprietary code, when there's not really any proof of such since that part of the code is closed-source, no? And if even a bit of it is closed source, the whole "open source means they won't be logging my info" is invalid.

There are plenty of other reasons to be using Azureus/Vuze, I just find it ironic that people are using this argument of "BitTorrent Inc is stealing your personal info" when the Vuze corporation could easily be doing the same thing.

Edit: I extracted the file wrong.

This is from Wikipedia:
I never tried the client myself, I just know it can do that because a friend who uses Linux installed it and told me. Pretending to be another client is already spoofing anyway, despite whatever excuse the author may give :P

I used this on Demonoid without any problems...

But then again, Demonoid can't really be considered a private tracker.

I said the option is being removed.

Lets make a BT client in Assembly imp:

Regardless of switching to the classic UI, you still have to download all the crap. If they gave users two different clients, one complete Vuze and the Classic UI, then I'd put up the Classic is all and then maybe not considering really what's at stake here!

The Vuze code in the JAR weights ~4MB, and doesn't even get loaded when you choose the classic UI. I don't see the problem.

It does take the developer team extra work to maintain two code branches (one with Vuze crap and another without it), though, and in the end it isn't even worth it.

For the last time: The Vuze/Azureus code is completely open source. The whole client software is open source. The installer version of Azureus comes with the Vuze Terms of service, which refers to the use of Vuze Content platform/website, i.e. www.vuze.com. Basically it says you have to be over 18 to use the site. The client software itself is still governed by the GPL. There's no proprietary code!

Sourceforge is meant for open source projects - which Azureus is (and always has been). Same with the Vuze code.

If you say the company is lying, download the source code and see for yourself.

I think utorrent is one of the last things we have to worry about when it comes to piracy.

Utorrent has been known to work with trackers on multiple occasions.
Bittorrent is an evolving form of sharing that utorrent has always been on top of.

The last thing utorrent would ever want to do is piss off pirates.. Because we make up a large majority of their users.
In the end... I don't really qualify utorrent as a risk factor while downloading torrents.

Isp and anti-p2p groups is my main worry.

How do you open this file or with what app?

You mean the ipfilter.dat file? It's a renamed plain text document.
