Digg - KTorrent : uTorrent Clone For Linux - 0 views

  • Transmission
    • Mike Chelen
       
      "Deluge" is good as well
  • Azureus
  • Azureus FTL. System resource hog, it's dependant on Java, and personally, I've encountered more bugs with Azureus than any other BT client out there.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • azureus has more features than any other client, and for a lot of people, that's what matters the most.
  • Azureus has a better UI than KTorrent.
  • deluge is another good linux torrent clienthttp://www.deluge-torrent.org/
  • www.qbittorrent.org for Qt/Qt4.2 junkies.
  • What I meant was that qbittorrent is based on the same libtorrent that deluge is written, but deluge is written in pygtk, and qbittorrent is written using C++ with Qt4.2.
  • The only thing stopping me using KTorrent is the way it seems to handle uploads. Whenever I had it running, my wife was unable to surf on her laptop (on the wireless network) even though I had the upload speed set to 15 kB/s.
    • Mike Chelen
       
      you have to consider limiting active connections, not just just upload bandwidth
  • Using Azureus and the Auto Speed plugin, there was barely any difference, even when I was uploading in excess of 30 kB/s.
    • Mike Chelen
       
      probably a good option for anyone that doesn't know how to configure detailed connection settings
  • linux bittorrent client that is command line based
  • http://www.rahul.net/dholmes/ctorrent/
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTorrent
  • Too bad that none of the client based torrent programs i have found and used, supports DHT (Besides from the normal Bit-Torrent program in CLI, which turns it on when the normal tracker is dead).

XRumer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    XRumer is a Windows program that posts forum spam with the aim of boosting search engine rankings. It has been claimed that the program is able to bypass techniques commonly used by many websites to deter automated spam, such as account registration, CAPTCHAs, and e-mail activation before posting. The program makes heavy use of a database of known open proxies in an attempt to make it more difficult for administrators to block posts.

#955 (importing magnet links) - The libTorrent and rTorrent Project - Trac - 0 views

  • 08/31/08 12:55:48 changed by josef ¶ I've written a patch to support magnet links now. You need to check out svn rev 1065 of libtorrent/rtorrent, and get http://ovh.ttdpatch.net/~jdrexler/rt/experimental/dht-pex-static_map.diff and http://ovh.ttdpatch.net/~jdrexler/rt/experimental/magnet-uri.diff then in the directory that has the libtorrent and rtorrent subdirs you've checked out, do patch -p0 < dht-pex-static_map.diff patch -p0 < magnet-uri.diff and recompile both. It uses the official magnet protocol from Bittorrent BEP-0009 which is incompatible with Azureus and so far only supported by uTorrent 1.8+, so it'll only work if there are recent uTorrents in the swarm. It supports magnet links in both the old style base32 encoded hashes as well as the recommended URL-encoded hashes. Note that if there is one or more tracker URLs to use for the download, it must be present as "tr=..." argument in the magnet URI, because there is currently no way of adding trackers in rtorrent afterwards, so without that it'll use DHT and nothing else. After opening a magnet URI, it will add a meta download to download the actual torrent info. When that is complete, it is replaced by the real torrent. The meta data is saved in your standard torrent download directory, you can delete that after the real torrent has appeared, or you can keep it in case you need to open the same magnet URI again.

    Importing magnet links would be great, because some sites only have magnet links. Mayby something like this:

    To use our repository add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.lst file. Each repository includes the library dependencies (which are not on ubuntu yet) needed to run stable/candidate release. There is currently no way to have the release candidate and the release installed at the same time. I am hoping to change this in the future.

Kevin Kelly -- The Technium - 0 views

  • The fastest growing entity today is information. Information is expanding ten times faster than the growth of any other manufactured or natural product on this planet. According to a calculation Hal Varian, an economist at Google, and I made, world-wide information has been increasing at the rate of 66% per year for many decades. Compare that explosion to the rate of increase in even the most prolific manufactured stuff – like concrete, or paper -- which averages only 7% annually over decades.
    • Mike Chelen
       
      What Mr. Kelly should say is that the amount of information which is measured is growing quickly. It is not possible to know all of the information available, however it is still important that the amount which we successfully record, store, and access is increasing.
    • Mike Chelen
       
      Surely the number of web pages is increasing, but how well does the number of web pages measure information? Perhaps actual network bandwidth usage, or total filesizes, would be a better measure?
  • The number of scientific articles published each year has been increasing in a steady rise for more than 50 years. Over the last 150 years the number of patent applications has increased. By this rough metric, knowledge is growing exponentially.

  • We see the expansion of information everywhere. Less visible, harder to track, but exploding the same is the expanision of knowledge. The number of scientific articles published each year has been increasing in a steady rise for more than 50 years. Over the last 150 years the number of patent applications has increased. By this rough metric, knowledge is growing exponentially.
    • Mike Chelen
       
      Journal articles may represent an accurate measure of research progress, but both the publishing process and the patent system have many influences besides sheer volume of content.
  • Yet the paradox of science is that every answer breeds at least two new questions. More answers, more questions. Telescopes and microscopes expanded not only what we knew, but what we didn’t know. They allowed us to spy into our ignorance. New and better tools permit us new and better questions. All our knowledge about subatomic particles derived from the new questions generated after we invented an atom smasher.
    • Mike Chelen
       
      This is accurate, just as each question is answered, new questions appear. Here is not the downfall of the pursuit of knowledge, but its glory.

Zoho App Selection Explodes With Platform - But Are These Apps for Real? - ReadWriteWeb - 0 views

  • In its announcement Zoho says that more than 100,000 apps have been created with its Zoho Creator database program, but it appears that only about 300 of those are included in the marketplace at launch.
    • Mike Chelen
       
      The reason so many apps have been created is that the platform has been used for some time to host custom user programs. Any user of of Creator might have made their own program and it is not unusual that only 300 of those would be released publicly.
  • Google Apps
    • Mike Chelen
       
      Google App Engine is closer to what Zoho Creator accomplishes, because they are both designed to allow custom programs to run, and use database-like storage system, in a hosted environment.
  • infrequently updated.
    • Mike Chelen
       
      This is one problem with Google Apps, because when there are new features in Google Gmail, Docs, etc., one would expect them to be integrated in Google Apps before too long.

  • It's hard to know how to find the best apps
    • Mike Chelen
       
      Helping users find and share information about the best applications is the most important goal for Zoho now, besides keeping their servers running. The user community will address this as well, so Zoho should look for ways to facilitate that.

Java - Community Ubuntu Documentation - 0 views

  • sudo update-alternatives --config java
  •  
    In order to run Java programs and Java applets, you must have a Java environment installed. The GCJ flavor of Java is installed as default, and is usually fine for most purposes. If it is not installed, JavaInstallation describes how to install some opensource flavors of Java. You may, however, have a need to run the Sun flavor of Java if something does not work correctly. To get Sun Java under Ubuntu 7.04 or later running on Intel or PowerPC platform, you should enable the Universe repository in Add/Remove programs, and install either the openjdk-6-jre package or the sun-java6-bin package. (Note: PowerPC version is slow). To get Sun Java under Ubuntu 6.06 or 6.10 running on Intel x86 platform, you should enable the Universe repository in Add/Remove programs, and install the sun-java5-bin package. Note: The same commands will work under Xubuntu/Kubuntu (using Add/Remove or the Adept Package Installer).

rietveld - Google Code - 0 views

  •  
    This project shows how to create a somewhat substantial web application using Django on Google App Engine. In addition, I hope it will serve as a practical tool for the Python developer community, and hopefully for other open source communities. As I've learned over the last two years at Google, where I developed a similar tool named Mondrian, proper code review habits can really improve the quality of a code base, and good tools for code review will improve developers' life. Some code in this project was derived from Mondrian, but this is not the full Mondrian tool.
