[X] My Assistant

can someone help with torrent?
i have a problem while seeding big file(20+Gb): after ~30m run out of RAM and PC freezes.
utorrent 1.8.2, win7x64, 4Gb RAM.
no problems at all in other situations, only for big files.
help? (settings? other clients?)

Try "Vuze" (aka "Azureus").

That is the worst RAM hog torrent client I've ever used.

It sounds more like you need to [forum.utorrent.com] change versions. Try version 2.2.1, or maybe a different client (not Vuze, it uses java and is a ram hog, also is packaged with adware last I read.)

Agree. I put it on my never-to-use-again list a few years ago due to the resources required and extra unnecessary crap "features" that come (came) with it.

I've been using Vuze for over 3 years, and it is one of the most stable torrent client I've ever seen. It uses around ~250mb of RAM for me all the time no matter the torrent size. (Tested with max 140GB Torrent)

That depends on people's preference. I prefer to use a bit more resource if it allows me to get the download done sooner. Also, Vuze has one of the most stable connection while seeding. Far better than uTorrent.

And if you don't want those crap features, you can just disable them. That's what I do actually.

This is a thing? I was under the impression that the bottleneck is always bandwidth (or RAM or CPU?? if you don't have enough), not inefficient software (which is why savvy people prefer lightweight clients).

Azureus was fucking terrible in hindsight. When uTorrent started gaining momentum I dropped it and never looked back. These days though, I prefer qBittorrent, or sometimes rTorrent depending on the machine.

Well, If you don't have enough resource, what choice do you have other than using a lightweight software? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

P.S. - I don't consider myself "Savvy". I'm just plain lazy. So I always prefer ways which would allow me to take care of things quickly. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

For me, uTorrent never gave stable connection. Also, there was a hell lot of packet loss issues. That's particularly why I hated it.

P.S. - I still hate it.

well ... i used Vuze long time ago and it still in "nope! nope! nope! never again!" category, so i will check other clients, but not this one.)

upd: not sure why you hate uTorrent, for me it never has any connection errors or other issues except this one. too sad what last version contain bitcoin miner. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

That's the thing... for just a torrent client, there really shouldn't be a problem with resource consumption unless there'a memory leak/bug, or unless your computer is 15 years old. So the bottleneck should be bandwidth, and max speed shouldn't have anything to do with which particular client you use - assuming that there are no bugs or resource hogs (and that the client wasn't built to inefficiently utilize the protocol). At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

because written in Java. my experience with it is quite limited as well, but i didn't have a good impression as well

That depends on people's preference

yup. i use bitcomet, btw: once you remove a couple of annoying buttons on taskbar it seems quite usable to me

Try utorrent v2.0.4. I believe that is the one people still recommend to use before it all went to hell as what you see currently with the bitcoin miner fiasco

what fiasco? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
I used to use bitcomet a few years back but it was very slow with big torrent with many files, then I switched to the latest version of utorrent then everything is fine.

This is my report of spell frequency in my DwD after optimizing my Full-Cure rotation

Arcane Focus: 5
Attack: 18
Banishment: 704
Drain: 90
Full-Cure: 18
Imperil: 235
MagNet: 198

Total turn: 3164

Heal Report

low: 18
spark: 4
total: 18

not even 1 cure... Now I feel stupid unlocking that Force of Nature perk

Also, 200 turns for silence/drain/tap in exchange for 30+ mana pots (ie. 2.7k). Worth!

So its some installer bundle (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Good that I always tick I do not agree (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

yup. but world is full of installer bundles, you should always take a couple seconds of your time to look for advanced option

i think it started off being an optional installation, but then after a few utorrent versions some users started complaining that the mining software was installed automatically without the user's consent and knowledge.

well... even before the mining software incident, utorrent started integrating ads into the utorrent client interface even though they always claim to be free and lightweight.

btw i am still using utorrent version 3.1 which is free from all those nonsense.

Your saved time isn't worth a measly 2.7k credits?

I don't think your strategy works unless you have very high evade and resist. I still have 4 pieces without resist, so I get hammered by magic too much. (Does that tell you how fucking old my shit is? And it's still impossible to self-find upgrades.)

Actually, not using Drain doesn't make my run any faster. SG clear speed is effectively capped by T3 cooldown, so using Silence/Drain in between cooldown only costs you two T1 per round, which have a negligible effect.

Is it because your gears were forged in the old forging system? (100% rather than the current 66% increase)

The staff I did, but the stats don't calculate in a permanent manner like that. When the scaling changed, so did everyone's forged stats.
