*Auto save torrents to a folder - When clicking an opening torrents through a website. BitTornado should automatically save them to a directory on your hard drive of your choice.

Move to folder when complete - When a download is complete. The files downloaded are moved to a folder of your choice. This will allow us to seperate incomplete files from the complete files.

I can help with that 8) . Create a new file and name it "btdownloadgui.exe.manifest" and put it in the folder where the btdownloadgui.exe is (your normal install folder of bittornado). Now edit the manifest file to have the following content:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" name="btdownloadgui.exe" type="win32" />
<description>BitTornado</description>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" />
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

But be warned, changing the color of the progress bar is not supported anymore (e.g. green when seeding).

Also can you add a little program that will run in the background (optional?) and run at the start (optional?) that will load a certain file or folder (optional?) that will seed any files that one downloads? So they don?t have to keep the BitTornado window open all the time? also have it connect with the BitTornado window where you can select whether or not you want this file added to the list of files you want to share at all times.

I hope you under stand what I am talking about

Thanks

Would it be possible to add setting file priorities to the curses downloader? I have a box on fairly fast connection at work, but it doesn't have neither X, and not enough disk space to download some larger batches, so this feature would come in really handy...

The option is there, though it's not amazingly easy to use. Run curses w/ no options.

Be able to set upload limit, with a number instead of "dsl/cable slow" or "dsl/cable fast". I would like to set it to a setting that suits me and those don't suit me.

That's all it has, you can't set a number. :(

I see what you mean. It usually takes me 1 sec to set a number so i dont really notice. It would be a nice feature as a option.

replying to the post above mine.

That connection mode setting was inherited from Eike Frost's client (at http://ei.kefro.st/projects/btclient/). With the new GUI, I'm planning on having people only set the upload rate, with the number of uploads calculated based on that number.

It seems that BitTornado is behind in the game...
Why doesn't it use the UDP bittorrent protocol yet?
http://libtorrent.sourceforge.net/udp_t ... tocol.html

Both Azureus and XBT clients have been using this for quite some time now. Perhaps it's time this should be looked into?

Moving thew tracker to udp doesn't seem to have much purpose. Maybe it lightens the server load a tad. Bandwidth? Like 128 bytes per connection isn't that significant.

What am I missing?

I searched the Yahoo bittorrent group to quote this:
Quote:
With TCP, it usually takes 13+ packets. That's 13+ * 54 = 702+ bytes
overhead.
With UDP, it'd take 4 packets. That's 4 * 42 = 168 bytes overhead.
Overhead will be reduced by over 75% and the tracker does not have to
maintain connection state.

Also, Bram has already decided to use UDP as the main protocol for the next version of bittorrent, so obviously it's a lot better than TCP.

No he hasn't. In fact, it's almost certainly still going to be TCP.
