Spread the love

TH0R was one of many that found its way to submit and pointed us to a new version of Azureus. The BitTorrent client has recently been upgraded to version 2.0.8.0. Azureus is developed in Java and can therefore be used on different platforms. In the changelog the following adjustments and new possibilities are mentioned:

New Features:

  • QUEUED status. Torrents that are queued are stopped, but available for automatic starting
  • Partial support for Read-Only data (for seeding)
  • Added “Forced-Start” to force a torrent to start, ignoring download limits or seeding rules
  • Auto-positioning of finished torrent based on how badly the torrent needs seeding
  • Added Availability, Seeding Rank, SavePath, Max # Uploads, and Total Speed ​​columns to My Torrents view
  • Categories to group your torrents in (right click on My Torrents and select Set Category to get started)
  • More auto-seeding options
  • Ability to limit maximum number of file handles open/in-use at any given time
  • Tracker – various performance enhancements such as announce/scrape caching. Tested to 500,000 peers on single torrent
  • Tracker activity logging to %azhome%/tracker.log
  • Tracker bytes in/out + scrapes recorded
  • Tracker – ability to limit number of peers returned
  • Share ratio now shown on tracker web pages
  • Tracker/client support for “no_peer_id” spec for bandwidth savings
  • More plugin stuff – alert raising, ipfilter reloading, various other stuff
  • Applet UI enhanced into usable state (start/stop/add/remove downloads) + auto refresh
  • Added torrent hashes for G2 + ED2K (ala
  • Added colors to file view to show: gray -> requested; red -> data recently written

Changes:

  • Split torrents in My Torrents view into 2 lists: Downloading and Seeding (Completed)
  • STOPPED status now means the torrent never auto-starts
  • Moved icon from Rank column to Name column
  • Removed Lock Priority. No longer an issue since priority only gets autochanged once
  • Remove “Lock Start/Stop” menu option. Stop now means no auto-starting/stopping
  • Redesign of Configuration view
  • Language files (MessagesBundle_xx_XX.properties) are read in the following order: Azureus user directory, Azureus application directory, JAR file
  • Remember sorted column and order for all views
  • Core performance optimizations and major cpu usage reductions
  • User prompt when (1) tracker listens fails (2) incoming server port bind fails
  • Config files/dirs and plugins now stored in OS user dir (Win: C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataAzureus, OSX: /Users/username/Library/Azureus/, Linux: /home/username/Azureus /)
  • Tracker log now includes date as well as time

Corrected bugs:

  • Once a torrent is complete, and you remove the data, it wil no longer start downloading again when seeding rules are on
  • 1st column of MyTorrents no longer has a gap if there’s no icon. (Windows Only Bug)
  • Fix for download stalls at 99% / 100% cpu usage bug introduced in 2070
  • Fix for minimize/close causing the program to disappear from view under OSX
  • Fix for icon bar buttons not being flat (Bug #890166) [Gudy]
  • More reliable .config and .torrent file save/load management
  • Better handling of failures when performing “move on complete”
  • Handle torrent file names with trailing spaces and CR/NL (from Mac)
