*spoofing abilities since 2008 (to prevent unknown client ban) uTorrent, Vuze, KTorrent

We'd need to check how good they are. There are a lot of factors involved in spoofing another client.

BitSpirit has an spoofing function too, but its bad coding is beyond description.

interesting. gonna give that a try

---------- Post added at 01:43 ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 ----------

ok, looks like it has only one option: spoof ut on or off.
rest of the options are quite similar to ut.

the main thing is to test the the spoof tho ...

Looks interesting.And it can spoof utorrent.Cool.But is it faster than utorrent like bitcomet is for example?Or what other advantages does it have to make me change to it,besides the fact that i get bored fast with clients?:tongue:

i might be able to do the same with it as i did with transmission (windows port) but i doubt it'd be worth it

It's basically a utorrent like client for linux users.Windoze and mac user have the native client.No need for a port.

Nice, but it isn't clear whether this only spoofs clients to the tracker or the tracker and peers.

Either way, it doesn't have code for uTorrent's peer_id algorithm, so in the latter case others would see you as [FAKE].

01.02.10, 18:42
There are other versions too.Vuze and bit tornado.

anon
01.02.10, 18:42
Vuze has its extended messaging protocol so the same would apply.

Now, BitTornado...

Now, BitTornado...
Enlighten me my master.

anon
01.02.10, 18:46
I think BitTornado doesn't check the ID so you wouldn't show up as fake on other (real) BitTornados' peerlist.

Of course, I'm assuming qBitt also spoofs clients to the peers, which I don't know.

The qBittorrent project was started in March 2006 to create a lightweight but featureful BitTorrent client that would be multi-platform and very easy to use.

qBittorrent v2 is the closest open source (GNU GPL v2 license) equivalent to µtorrent. qBittorrent is based on Qt4 toolkit and libtorrent-rasterbar.

qBittorrent v3.1.11 was released. I know I said that v3.1.10 would be the last of the v3.1.x series. However there were 2-3 regressions that warranted a new release. In the meantime, more bugfixes and features were commited by others. So v3.1.11 should be the last unless we find some serious issues with it.

Hello guys, I was looking to migrate from an old client like uSerenity to a new one like qbittorrent, but what is stopping me is a list of good features uT has that I can't find in these newer clients. And I'm way too used to them. For instance a very important feature for me is the 'bt.scrape.stopped' from uT. One of the few things I don't like in this old uT version is how you change torrent order or priority number, you have to move up or down each one, and I sometimes use that a lot for my own reasons. Don't know if newer uT changed that. I see that qbit don't let you specify a custom number on priority but at least it has an additional move to top and bottom option.

Do you guys know if there's anyway to make qbittorrent scrape every torrent when they are added and on 'paused' state. Fyi on qbit paused is the same as stopped, uT has paused and stopped states.

Which do you favor in qbittorrent versus deluge for example?

A random question if I may, I've been using uSerenity in portable mode for a long time and I realized that whenever I quit the client a .tmp file gets generated, are these safe to be deleted? They range from 100 to 300 KB in size. Thanks a lot.

What about "Clean uTorrent"? =] I know it has gone downhill in the last years, but as I see it, there is no clearly better alternative:


qBittorrent: good, but uses Qt Framework so it's clunky.
Deluge: good, but uses GTK so it's clunky.
BiglyBT: excellent, but uses Java so... you get the idea. Extreme Mod is great though :naughty: But as a normal, non-cheating client, it's too heavy for my tastes.
BitComet: decent, but has lots of call-homes and many private trackers disallow it.
Tixati: decent, but the interface is horrible.
Halite: good, but it's in beta and receives highly infrequent updates (last one as of this writing: 2015).
PicoTorrent: decent, but only has basic functionality so far. Best candidate to replace uTorrent if development continues.
Transmission: decent, but has relatively few settings and features. Additionally, the GUI uses Qt, as I recall.
rTorrent: good, but it's terminal-based so it requires the installation, configuration and usage of a GUI program.

As for scraping stopped paused torrents in qBittorrent, I don't know if that can be done, nor did I find a setting for it. There is some discussion about it at https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/6650

I don't use the queue in uTorrent, but as far as I can see what you mention hasn't changed.

Are you sure the extension isn't .dmp? In that case they would be minidump files and thus safe to delete.

Yes, I'm trying it out these days and it seems this will be it. Thanks a lot for cleaning it out and making it available BTW!




qBittorrent: good, but uses Qt Framework so it's clunky.
Deluge: good, but uses GTK so it's clunky.
...
Yeah, I agree with all that, of all these, Deluge is the only one I didn't try yet, but not holding my breath. I had high hopes for PicoTorrent but it's very sucky, very bare with features and crashed a lot with me.



Are you sure the extension isn't .dmp? In that case they would be minidump files and thus safe to delete.Yes! You got that right, it was my typo. So if that's a minidump then my client is really crashing all the time when I quit it, although windows shows no crash message. I guess it's because the client now has more than 1200 torrents, some are seeding for more than 1y too.

You're welcome, it was something I made for myself when I tried to switch clients and learned the current state of affairs, then I thought others may find it useful.

Deluge is said to have excellent (network) performance on seedboxes, and the screenshots and videos I've seen agree. Not that it matters a lot here, of course... PicoTorrent looks promising, but I can't really recommend it in its current state.

Full disclosure, I don't know how well uTorrent 3.x will deal with more than a thousand torrents, other than the fact it's less good at it than 2.x. Please give it a try and let us know.

Thursday November 21st 2019 - qBittorrent v4.2.0RC_20191121_9c1617b9778 release

qBittorrent v4.2.0RC_20191121_9c1617b9778 release was released.
For Windows only the 64-bit build is available for the RC release. Changes included in the stable series aren't mentioned below.
The macOS build will follow.
The final version of 4.2.0 will be released at the end of the month.
ATTENTION: This RC release uses the libtorrent 1.2.x series. It saves fastresumes a bit differently than the 1.1.x series, which are used so far in the stable versions (and alpha releases). If you run it and then downgrade to a previous qBittorrent version then your torrents will probably start rechecking.
Changes in v4.2.0RC_20191121_9c1617b9778 after the previous beta:

FEATURE: Allow to select multiple entries in "banned IP" dialog (Chocobo1)
FEATURE: Reallow to pause checking torrents (thalieht)
FEATURE: Reallow to force recheck torrents that aren't fully started (thalieht)
FEATURE: Add "Preview file" double-click action (warren)
BUGFIX: Fix country name misspelling (horgan)
RSS: Add create subfolder option to RSS auto-download rules (Xegor)
WINDOWS: Add option to control qBittorrent process memory priority (Chocobo1)
