The source was open for anyone last I recalled. So if anyone would like to check it out, be my guest.

The only content available directly through the Vuze interface (guessing that's what you mean) is either free license material or material uploaded with the copyright owner's blessings, so even if you have to sign up for it, it is perfectly safe.

Haven't tried it personally, since I get my content elsewhere. Actually I disabled anything Vuze in Vuze. There is a version 4 now, where you can choose to not load anything Vuze at all. I'm just waiting for all the sites where I am a member to allow it before upgrading. It is said to have a smaller memory footprint than all previous versions of Vuze/Azureus.

I have zero tolerance for these crap antivirus package vendors, that make up threats just to keep the customer happy. How happy would most people feel paying for something that does nothing. Not a single (fake) alert all year on their subscription. Seriously one of those major vendor even blocked one of my favorite sites for weeks, calling it a virus threat. If not for massive amounts of complaints it would probably still be in their database, filed under malicious sites.

That's a mighty big assumption there. Since I have configured my client to work with only the basics, perhaps you would like to tell us all just exactly what the hidden data trying to be sent is?

Are you willing to swear on whatever holy book you ascribe to (if you aren't religious I guess your favorite pron mag will suffice) that :

Just exactly wherein lies your proof of your statement?

I suggest you do a little research as to just exactly what the modern Azureus (Vuze) is and how its being run with consideration to legal aspects before you make such pompus statements as "He is blowing smoke out his @ss". I won't bother holding my breath awaiting the proof of your statements as I'm sure I would turn blue and die.

I trust coders of torrent sites way more than any AntiVirus vendor. I can assure you that they have grabbed and analysed every single package sent by the client, before deeming it safe.

This is P2P, where people have to be careful, in case you forgot that.

And no I haven't checked anything myself. And I say again provide proof instead of propaganda.

I don't have to prove a thing here, you have to prove this as this is your claim. Any crap AntiVirus screenshots are not proof. Show us incriminating data in packets you intercept and that is proof.

All this Back and forth sounds like a Good Reason to use uTorrent to me.:)

Sleepless October 25th, 2008 03:33 PM

All this back and forth sounds like one side is a flame. I'll give you three guesses which one ;)

Oh and one last thing Angmar.

Be sure to use some popular easy to find file for your tests, and include all relevant info like IP address sent to, to size of package, exactly what incriminating data, hash values of the file. The works. And of course Vuze version, port numbers and anything else you can think of to let others be able to duplicate the results. Time online, how long the torrent was loaded in your client. How often this phenomena occurs etc. etc.

For years I was asking people if they knew anyone who bought antiviral software that reported an uninfected computer. I never got a "yes" response. After the birth of antiviral software companies, (but prior to the internet), the largest freeware/shareware distributor in the US offered a reward to anyone who would send them a virus on disk. They had no takers.

I met people who insisted that their computers had been infected because their antiviral software told them it was. Some of those people did not have a modem, and loaded only commercial applications; ergo there was no vector (route for infection).

Nowadays the internet provides a vector and there have been a few epidemics. So I was thinking about writing an antifungal program. Because if you've had a viral infection, surely your computer is less resistant to fungus. And of course my software will verify that data fungus was present and has been safely removed.

I wouldn't tell people that software was suspicious just because an antiviral told me so. We've seen too many false positives, leading me to ask for specifics. When it comes to open software, show me the code!

unless you are on a dupe account with Angmar as your other identity, that post was not directed at you. You have already had your question answered over and over even after making a dupe thread asking the exact same question.

Start here: Beginners Guide to torrents.

Sleepless November 5th, 2008 01:33 PM

Finally :) yes it will.

If you find the same torrent now and start downloading it, you will see of there are any seeders (People who have the complete torrent).

Also uTorrent should have the option of seeing availability, in case there are no seeders. i.e. if it says 0.94 or 94%, then you know exactly why you are not getting the final 6% of the torrent.

Also if you see there are seeders, but you never connect to them, it probably means that you aren't on a open connection (either through portforwarding or UPnP), and also that they aren't either. Pretty much they only reason why you will never connect to a seeder is if both you and the seeder aren't connectable (open connection) i.e. the tracker can see the seeder, but your client can't contact it.
