Are you behind a proxy? Your router must suck big time if you cannot forward a range of ports. I've never heard of a router only allowing 1 port at a time. I'd email you instead of doing this on slashdot, but you don't have your email listed anywhere by your username.
a warning isn't enough; timing up/downloads so that, on average, people just achieve a 1:1 ratio would be.
I also forgot to mention that it is mathematically impossible for everyone to achieve a 1:1 ratio, so you would at a bare minimum have one guy at the end who never ever receives the complete file.
When three port forwarding methods don't work while forwarding to other applications works, the problem is with Azureus, not the port forwarding.
Go into your router's port forwarding settings. Forward 4000-7000 as TCP to the computer running Azureus. As long as you haven't changed your port settings in Azureus, this will work.
The problem is insufficiently clear documentation and user interface--the fact that Azureus doesn't communicate about what it is doing: what IP address is it sending out?
Agreed.
Well, and it hasn't warned me, which means that there is some kind of hole in its warning system that causes it to warn some people and not others.
There is an option to turn off the warning after you have seen it once. Perhaps you turned it off without realizing it.
In any case, a warning isn't enough; timing up/downloads so that, on average, people just achieve a 1:1 ratio would be.
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=142556&cid=119 49025 I disagree with you on that issue. Throttling can not logically provide any benefit to the community unless you are dealing with users who do not wish to share, and then clients which block those types of users (all major clients) already deal with that problem by sending them less data than those who share what is requested.
OK I did a hand translation of the entire thing, but then, no matter how hard I tried, I could not get around/.'s lameness filter, which is, ironically, lame. So, after going so far as to replace the model names with English words until I got tired of that, and still/. not allowing my post, I just stuck the translation on my blog. I apologize, and am not looking for random hits to my blog, which is itself about studying abroad in Japan.
Azureus has warned me since before 2.0 when I tried to stop seeding a file under 1:1 ratio and explained that it is not good for the community to share under 1:1.
As for configuring behind firewalls, all clients will be hard to do, because you will never get around the need to port-forward.
I think that the throttling to stay in the sweetspot is stupid, and I'm going to try and prove it logically. I define "stupid" as "providing no added benefit of file transfer to the downloader nor to the community above that which is already provided by not using the plugin."
If I use the technique, there are two possibilities: my upload speed slows down, or my download speed slows down.
Let's take these one at a time.
If the upload speed slows down, I share less with the community than without the plugin. Thus, the community is not benefitted. However, without the plugin, I would share faster, providing more benefit to the community. Thus, the technique does not help in this case.
If the download speed slows down, I receive my file at a slower pace. I stay at near a 1:1 ratio, but this can be done without the plugin if I seed for a while after completing the download. Thus, again, the technique does not provide benefit beyond what not using the technique would provide.
I can only see this providing a benefit for people that need to slow their upload so they can perform other net tasks. In this case, the download will adjust if you have capped your upload provided the file is in demand at all, and then the part of my argument about continuing to seed after receiving the file still holds. If the file is not in demand, you will have 0 upload, and so you will not complete downloading the file, again providing no benefit to anyone. You don't need this plugin unless your goal is to share to 1:1 and then stop. In which case, in Azureus (for example), setting it to ignore torrents which have already reached 1:1 ratio will do the trick.
I live outside city limits, in the country, and I have never had problems with service. Ever.
Also, as for your wondering about paying to receive mobile calls, etc, I heard that you have to pay to receive text messages in Europe. You cannot refuse text messages, but you can choose to not answer the phone.
Aside from that, imagine you have grown up, your entire life, being able to call your mom for free because you live in the same area code. Now, she has a cellphone and carries that with her everywhere in the house. Wouldn't you complain to the company that you have to pay long distance to call her when she is still in her house? Or still in your town?
That is how we Americans think (or just me?). We are willing to pay to receive calls (if you don't want to pay, don't answer the phone!) in exchange for not having to pay long distance to call landline to cellphone.
Europeans often skip voicemail, although they have sophisticated versions. Their mobiles automatically send a note saying "1 missed call," and tell them who called. People call back even without a message.
We in the US have this as well on our cellphones, and the situation is the same. I don't always leave voicemail. My mother only checks her voicemail at night, when it's free.
Yes, GAIM does log if you want it too. I live in Texas, where logging only requires one-party consent, and thus I log every conversation I have, then manually delete the ones I don't want (spambots, etc).
http://gaim.sf.net/ is the GAIM site, so you don't have to go looking for it later.
There is a difference between what you are saying -- what a person says via AIM is insecure -- and what the terms of service actually allow -- that AOL has the right to go as far as publish your writings in a book if they wanted to.
That is what people are surprised about -- that AOL would have the gall to allow themselves something like that.
No, anyone can ask for the source, not just customers of that company.
As a side note, from the decendants of this post, here's a few notes straight from the GPL:
From Terms and Conditions... Modification 1: You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:...
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party... a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,...
(italics and bold mine) So, you see, they are required to give any third party the source upon request. Not a customer, but literally any third party.
And before you argue that the license says "may" instead of "must", read this (also from the GPL):... nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works.
But to be extradited under the treaty, what you did must be illegal in Australia and the US. Firearm possession is not illegal in the US. Therefore, you cannot.
Unless you were trying to say that you received teaching from Computer Sciences itself, you probably meant to say Computer Science wo oshiete kureta I was taught Computer Science.
Interestingly enough, the romanization for the Japanese for Computer Science is conpyuutaa saiensu.
Really, so are you saying you only have the right to travel when its completely under someone elses control?
I really am resisting the urge to kick my computer after reading that. Are you really that stupid? You can travel without a license. Have you heard of these magical things called "feet"? The grandparent was arguing that you shouldn't need a license to travel, only to -- say it with me -- driiiiiive.
If you believe aforementioned 80 yr old w/diabetes and those thick glasses, but are not legally blind, can see well enough to drive then yes, you should stay away.
You keep saying diabetes like it's something that impairs driving. I don't think you actually know what it is. It's a disease where your body cannot create glucose effectively. One takes insulin every day, and is normal. Driving is more likely impaired by having a common cold than it is by having diabetes.
I took my driving test in 2000. And by "driving test" I mean "written test," because if you take your licensing test after going through drivers education classes as a teenager, you don't have to take a physical driving test, only a written test on laws and signs.
Which does not the reverse prove -- A->B does not necessarily imply B->A. Thus "I can be googled, therefore I am" does not imply "I am, therefore I can be googled."
I know you were merely making a joke, but I was looking for an excuse to post something today.
