Biggest crock of bullshit I've ever heard in my life. I used Deulge for about 3 months and it was one of my worst experience with p2p. Would frequently take 10+ minutes to connect to seeders and would download at about 1/20th (100kb\s) of my maximum speed (2MB/s). In addition I couldn't get port forwarding. It was essentially configured the same as utorrent 2.2.1 which I used previously. I ended up switching back. I also want to note, as a matter of personal preference I found the the "big and rounded" design choice for the deluge UI to look hideous. Small UI elements with sharp clean square edges is the best. I ended up going back to utorrent 2.2.1.

It's worth noting I used Transmission on a Mac awhile back too and the experience was alright. It lacked some features utorrent had but otherwise did everything it did about as well. Windows version of Transmission wasn't as good but still acceptable.

I still prefer utorrent though I wouldn't use a version after 2.2.1.

>> No.12283490

>>12283441
Yes, exactly that rhetoric I meant by exploiting ignorant masses. While in reality I use Kerio Firewall from 8 years back and ancient uTorrent 2.0.4 without any issues all these years. Also, never used any antivirus and never had a virus in my life, excluding one case when I downloaded obviously suspicious .exe from anonymous board and ran it myself. lol

>> No.12283499

People have bad experiences with Deluge? My only annoyance with it so far is that opening torrent files with unicode characters has be done by hitting "Add torrent" rather than running it straight from Firefox. Not sure why, but whatever. Everything else about it works fine.

I've been to Japan. Wifi is really hard to come by unless it comes with your phone's service, and they usually change an extra fee for it. Almost nowhere has free wifi, and most computers are connected through cable. Most hotels and apartments have cable internet access that connects to an outlet in the wall, and I know that for those, torrents won't work at all unless you are using a VPN.

Well no, but on casual inspection they do seem to like gadgets (and programs) to be more specific-purpose and less general.

May actually be for the best if over-generalized things like http/browsers continue to hype themselves and hide from any criticism.

Still you could do better than what I've heard about PD, just with any bittorrent/tracker programs and an open-source freebie onion routing scheme.

"Tethering" eh? That can be expensive, though, right?
Or the lack of wifi might be because they never cleared out most of the frequency channels that wifi uses. You'd have to look it up. There are a lot of countries you can go to where your wireless stuff just can't be counted on to even try to work, even when there's a cell tower right overhead where you're sitting. Reason? They're permanently tuned to the wrong thing and/or use a different scheme to try to connect.

I've been using perfect dark and share a fair bit for a couple months, I've even got some good plugins for share

Honestly you may as well just use torrent sites or western sites with large archives unless your looking for obscure j-dramas or something. I started using p2p programs to find some obscure stuff I couldn't get anywhere else, like doujins and whatnot, and I didn't find anything. Almost everything I found was stuff you could have gotten from a western site if you looked hard enough.
