shareaza help/need better bitdownloader.

[breadandbubbles]

i want my shareaza to run silently, but i recently had to update my shareza version because everytime i booted my pc (shareaza boots up with my pc) i got notifications of newer versions.

fine, i says.

NOW, whenever i boot up, a little box appears in the top left corner of my screen. its like a media box, with a pause button and stop button. i dno. i have to close it everytime! and i STILL get notifications of...man i dont even know. i jsut close them.

im tempted to uninstal the friggin thing, but i dont know any other silten torrent downloaders..

can anyone help with my shareaza?

uTorrent. All that needs to be said.

Unfortunately, not all of us have the luxury of using uTorrent as well off as others. Zxian gets 500 KB/s DLing Linux distros. I'm lucky if I get 5 KBs on a torrent with a billion seeds. I don't know what it is...

Anyway, Zxian, I believe he asked for a silent install method for Shareaza, not advice on alternative p2p software.

If we were talking about browsers, I'd just say "Go with Opera, powerhouse right out of the box."

But, not this time around. Sorry for being so blunt, but there's a dude in class today whose depressed/irritated at something and his atmosphere seems to be contagious. I'm empathic.

It is strange. I have no idea why that is.

I think he was actually talking about Sharaza bugging him all the time with notifications and pop-ups and the "media box".

Hi

All you have to do is close the "little box" and if nothing else is wrong with your sistem you should not see "notifications" (i suppose you have Shareaza 2.2.1.0) (use CCleaner and TuneUp Utilities 2006 to clean all your temps & check your registry )

You may also go to "power mode" and go to "Shareaza settings" \ general \"when i click minimise" and select "minimise to try"

yes, i was looking for a way to prevent any popups of shareaza whatsoever. it already stays minimized in the tray. this is bothring the heck out of me. whats worse is that virtually the entire shareza site, including the forums are still "under construction"

ill have to go with something else. whats uTorrent. does it include p2p capabilites as well? high CPU usage?

its funny you guy should say that about speed. i have a house in the city and i get speeds averageing about 5 kb/s on a good day, while my other computer at my house in the country i get about 1000 kb/s.

the thing is its my sisters computer not mine. she said i could download using her PC so long as its silent and doesnt get in her way. shell never notice. i agreed, and installed shareaza.

i decided on shareaza because of the following:

1) it boot up with pc, MINIMIZED TO TRAY AREA(most important)

2) offers p2p capabilites

3) very helpful -> offers REMOTE USE

so i can download files onto her pc from my pc in the city. its brilliant.

now...i cant. shes getting p***ed at this media box...

can uTorrent do these things?

[Zxian]

uTorrent is a bitTorrent client, so anything that you can find on BT you can use uTorrent with. It's known for its very low CPU and memory usage. I have NEVER noticed it running on my computers - something that I can't say for BitComet or Azureus.

It can start with Windows, and can be minimized to the system tray. There is no remote administration of uTorrent, but you could always just use Remote Desktop or UltraVNC for that.

[breadandbubbles]

excellent! thank you!

oh, on emore question...i have current downloads on shareaza that took me quite some time. is it possible to transfer them to uTorrent?

[Scubar]

it is not currently possible to transfer shareaza downloads over to µTorrent.wait until they are finished and then just start seeding them with µTorrent.

you will notice the button in my sig.

[XtremeMaC]

maybe the speed problem isjust a simple fact of opening ports? (utorrent)

shareaza is with edonkey network and gnutella so don't compare utorrent with shareaza...
