Have Fun, Dr.

Pouwelse Assistant Professor, P2P specialist Delft University of Technology thet's it END OF THE BIG IMPORTANT EDIT After looking for and trying all (native+gtk) bittorrent clients I could find (and get to compile), I found tribler (witch seems to do all I need from it, and, well, I like it better than the others. It seems to do more than just bittorrent, something about social sharing I don't understand much (maybe when I'll try this more I'll understand).

From the website With Tribler, we are creating software for video file sharing that has a basic understanding of human friendships, of user tastes in content, and of Internet connectivity between users. Currently, Tribler is not production-level software yet, but we do have a fully functional proof-of-concept. [.] Features that we are adding include: * Amazon-like recommendations to get interesting files * Doubling the download speed by using the upload capacity of friends * Real-time P2P file sharing with P2P video streaming * Showing the locations of other downloaders of the same content with city-level accuracy on a world map Anyway, take a look at the official page, they have a lot of information there. And, of course, I made a package for it (that's why I started this thread) it can be downloaded here: EDIT The older version doesn't work anymore. Ere's the lastest version, use this one instead.

/EDIT And if you want to use the web interface, you must configure it to use the loopback interface (it crashed on me when I made automatic) and access it using something like phpABC witch can be found here: just put it in your webserver and go there and fill the informations you configured the server with. Well that's it.

Hi reda_ea, could u please provide the step of installation so that newbie like me can understand it easily, thx! You mean just getting it to work?? Get the deb, double click, install, go to applications>internet, click tribler.:-s Or maybe you meant compiling from source? Look at the instructions from their website (they have their own customized version of a python library witch requires pyhon headers and all to compile.) is tribler OSS?? Yeah, MIT license I think, anyway it's based on ABC witch is based on Bittornado witch is based on the officiel bittorrent client, so I think it HAS to be opensource.

Thanks reda_ea for introducing (and putting the package together) Tribler to the rest of us. I think Tribler is the best linux torrent appliation I have used yet (azureus was slow and took up too much memory/cpu.

Qtorrent, bittornado, default bittorrent didn't display unicode correctly and didn't support multiple torrents at one time). The main features that I really liked about Tribler: - lots of options (I can change ports, limit download/upload speed, change default download location) - support of unicode filenames - nice gui But is it better than uTorrent & BitComet for Windows? Balabolka 2.8.0.557 Final Portable. Close, but not quite there yet. Things I like dislike about Tribler: - ahhhh.

Integrating 'human friendship' into a torrent software? Not for me, at least not in a torrent software. There are instant messengers, forum, etc. - Another feature that is bugging me is that this software 'recommends torrent' to me. Is it monitoring on me? It just doesn't feel right somehow. - The 'advanced options' are embedded too deeply and can only be access once the torrent is downloading.

For example, if a torrent file consists of multiple files and I want to exclude one of them from downloading (ie I don't want/already have that particular file), I won't be able to deselect that file until I have selected a download location (which will automatically download all the files).

From the FAQ in the official website Privacy From our license: [Tribler] will by default exchange your download history with others. This feature can be disabled by disabling the recommender in the Preference menu. See also the disclaimer at [the bottom of this page] so all it does is send your history to others, they don't keep it on a server (wich would have been stange for a P2P app), and you can disable it. Anyway these are just features you only use if you want, The recommendations don't work yet for me, I think I need more history and it needs more users contributing.
