New BT Client - BitTyrant

Version: 1.1 (Released 8 January, 2007)



Overview

BitTyrant is a new, protocol compatible BitTorrent client that is optimized for fast download performance. BitTyrant is...

• Fast – During evaluation testing on more than 100 real BitTorrent swarms, BitTyrant provided an average 70% download performance increase when compared to the existing Azureus 2.5 implementation, with some downloads finishing more than three times as quickly.
• Fair – BitTorrent was designed with incentives in mind: if a user is downloading at 30 KBps, they should upload at 30 KBps. However, due to the unique workload properties of many real-world swarms, this is not always enforced. BitTyrant is designed to make efficient use of your scarce upload bandwidth, rewarding those users whose upload allocations are fair and only allocating excess capacity to other users.
• Familiar – BitTyrant is based on modifications to Azureus 2.5, currently the most popular BitTorrent client. All of our changes are under the hood. You’ll find the GUI identical to Azureus, with optional additions to display statistics relevant to BitTyrant’s operation.

thought i leave this thread stuck for a few weeks just to to let most people know, incase this thread dies =P

seems pretty interesting but I haven't tried it yet, might do soon and developers claim it to have better performance than most BT cilents like azureus

knoc your using azureus no ??, you should give this a try -lol

and as they say on the site expect bugs and shit since its a new created application

 

I don't like that part that much...Does that mean it will not allow us to cap our upload speeds? Anyways, I prefer BitComet or UTorrent. Nice find though

 

so i gather BitTyrant isnt very good for your average BT uncle scrooge? seeing as it says something about rewarding peeps who upload more

 

I get alright speeds from my bitcomet...i'm not going to try this out yet...
Just going to wait until more ppl use this and see the reviews from them.

 

wow it looks good ... XD

 

Not too sure about this, I'll a little longer too.

 

it looks pretty nice and alot of info on tha peers and seeds!

could sum1 dl it and post it here and see if it is really as posted here
i nvr use Azureus be4, so i don't noe

 

^ its basically a remake of that (Azureus)

Now THIS is exactly one of the reasons why everybody is complaining about BT its because everyone is capping their upload speed so slow downloads

as that means less kb/s being downloaded since less being uploaded

this should especially affect the people with slow lines as the people with fast lines take most of the kb so less for the slow users <_<

 

it look very similar to azureus

 

so which one is the best? i'm using bitlord and that is just ok, need faster speeds... but so scared of trying out

 

thAnk Q

 

is this bit tyrant relible to use?

 

IS this ONE really works ? i mean will it be reliable.. because as far as i know, some of the programs are not compatible with some torrent...

so how about this one? Anyone has tried this before ?

 

i just want to ask whats up with torrents? i upload at 150k always and i never get that return rate. all my files are always like 4.0 upload download ratio. anyone else like this? man i need to download that dragonball z series and it's taking me like 10 days almost now.

 

someone try this and give some feedback.

 

The reason people cap their upload speed is so that it is correctly proportioned to their download speed. This way they can get their maximum upload speed. Also, BitComet, though it is good, isn't very good at uploading. I have to cap the upload speed to 2kb/s. With other clients I can upload at about 7-8 kb/s. It would be more useful if people downloaded first then concentrate on seeding, instead of slowing down your download.

 

isn't there a new bittorrent client called bit tornado
