15:23:58<Matthijs> what for?
15:24:33<_joey> don't know
15:24:53<_joey> that's why they guy who wrote bittorrent in python talks about
15:25:13<_joey> what I hate about tbittorrent is lack of decent documentation
15:25:27<_joey> how do you suppose to use it or know how ti works if you never used it
15:26:12<_joey> what's this faq? dedscribing problems about NAt , various versions for MS windows et
15:26:25<_joey> we need a guide ordescriptive man page
15:28:43<_joey> is there a guide how to use bittorrent?
15:28:55<Mikos> btdownloadcurses.py |less
15:29:03<_joey> man
15:29:07<_joey> we need fucking guide it
15:29:10<_joey> to it
15:29:14<Mikos> man btdownloadcurses
15:29:21<_joey> why are you giving me all these commands?
15:29:41<Mikos> because you ask for documentation, don't you?
15:29:46<_joey> there's not man page for it
15:29:48<Bklyn>
http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/15.html15:29:48<Bklyn> 27:<http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/15.html>
15:29:50<Mikos> it's all there
15:29:59<Mikos> well debian _has_ a man page
15:30:13<Bklyn> Mikos: not everyone is so fortunate as to run Debian I guess
15:30:22<_joey> I just installed bittorrent and there's no man page
15:30:22 * Bklyn is tho
15:30:35<Bklyn> _joey: see that URL I just pasted
15:30:43<_joey> another faq?
15:31:01<_joey> with questions how to use proxy with bittorrent etc?
15:31:09<Mikos> wtf is so difficult?
15:31:12<Bklyn> you can't use bittorrent behind a proxy
15:31:17<Bklyn> sorry
15:31:18<Matthijs> _joey you seem to be the only one who needs a guide
15:31:27<_joey> who said something is diff=icult?
15:31:38<Bklyn> huh?
15:31:39<_joey> I don't know what utilities are coming with the package
15:31:42<Matthijs> if you just read the documentation on the official site it should be clear
15:31:45<_joey> how it works etc
15:31:46<Mikos> what's with the bitching then?
15:31:53<_joey> There should be a guide for it
15:32:00 * _joey is losing his cool
15:32:13<Matthijs> probably lost that a long time ago
15:32:15<_joey> Mikos fuck off idiot
15:32:22<Matthijs> but why do you need to know how it works?
15:32:24<Bklyn> _joey: don't be an ass
15:32:35<_joey> difficult not to be with idiots
15:32:37<_joey> you know
15:32:41<Bklyn> sigh
15:32:46<Bklyn> don't expect any help w/that attitude
15:32:51<Bklyn> *PLONK*
15:32:54<Matthijs> we all found out how it works etc
15:32:54<Mikos> stupid _and_ insulting. now that is a combination i like
15:33:11<Matthijs> you seem to be the only one who can't figure it out
15:33:16<_joey>
15:33:36<_joey> Matthijs what command do you use to download the file?
15:33:55<_joey> all I know is how to run find btd* and look at python source perhaps
15:33:59<_joey> since there's not man pages
15:34:03<_joey> or fucking guides
15:34:37<Matthijs> probably looking for btdownloadcurses
15:34:50<Mikos> you never ran btdownloadcurses.py|less if you did you would see the options
15:35:23<Matthijs>

15:36:19<_joey> Mikos I've had enough of you wanker
15:36:27<_joey> what are those XXX at the end?
15:36:31<Matthijs> Mikos explained it to you
15:36:32<Mikos> but reading doesn't seem to be one your strong sides
15:36:33<_joey> and what is file.torrent
15:36:42<Matthijs> you need to fill in one of the "interfaces"
15:36:45<_joey> and reading you should be doing
15:36:51<_joey> what interfaces?
15:37:06<_joey> I asked about .torrent file a while back
15:37:06<Matthijs>
http://annys.eines.info/cgi-bin/man/man ... adcurses+1 //read??
15:37:06<Matthijs> 29:<http://annys.eines.info/cgi-bin/man/man2html?btdownloadcurses+1> //read??

15:38:38<Mikos> you're asking me as an idiot?
15:38:43<_joey> not you
15:38:51<Matthijs>
www.fuckinggoogleit.com15:38:55<_joey> Guys
15:39:04<_joey> I came here and asked if there's a guide to bittorrent
15:39:10<_joey> you sent me to a stupid faq
15:39:18<_joey> etc
15:39:24 * ShadowJK thought the documentation at bitconjourer was fairly complete
15:39:25<Matthijs> this channel is for people that have searched for their problem and couldn't find it
15:39:30<_joey> and now someone is asking do you know what bittorrent is at all?
15:39:53<Matthijs> yeah you don't seem to have any idea
15:39:55<_joey> all I asked if there's an official guide or wiki
15:40:10<Matthijs> did you search for it yourself?
15:40:31<_joey>
15:40:44<Matthijs> how old are you?
15:40:51<Matthijs> (just wondering)
15:41:20<ShadowJK> guide, like...:
http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/guide.html (first hit on google)
15:41:20<ShadowJK> guide, like...: 30:<http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/guide.html> (first hit on google)
15:41:48<_joey> so why don't you have it set in topic or something?
15:42:18<Matthijs> because most people are able to use google
15:42:33<ShadowJK> the second hit is probably more retard friendly perhaps
15:42:41<Matthijs> =
15:42:47<Matthijs> :p
15:42:53<AceKing> Anyone know why I cannot use IE while downloading torrents?
15:43:02<_joey> most channels on freenode have official guide/sites etc in the topic
15:43:11<Matthijs> well this one hasn't
15:43:12<_joey> I'd say reatrds are sitting here , a bunch of retards>)
15:43:22<_joey> Matthijs is definately one of them
15:43:33<_joey> that's because you are a retard:)
15:43:53-!- Irssi: #bittorrent: Total of 61 nicks [0 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 61 normal]
15:44:06<Matthijs> well why was I able to figure out how BT works, and you are whining here there isn't a guide
15:45:46<_joey> so what's file.torrent?
15:46:38<_joey> well, ShadowJK I've gone to that site all it explains is how to setup a tracker using web server
15:47:08<_joey> nothing about file.torrent in the guid or how to download the files
15:48:00<ShadowJK> _joey, I think you are beyond help
15:48:52<Mikos> a .torrent is the file with meta information with a tracker provides
15:49:01<Mikos> s/with/which/
15:50:36<_joey> ShadowJK I think you another idiot here
15:51:11<_joey> usually wankers who have no arguments or technical knowledge start personal accusations
15:51:22<_joey> like Matthijs who asked me about my age:)
16:00:25<_joey> so:)
16:01:05<_joey> in 5 minutes I've read more about bittorrent than you wanker have in your entire lives:)
16:01:19<Bklyn> probably not
16:01:20<_joey> only losers sit on channels such as this one;)
16:01:29<_joey> Bklyn wanna bet?
16:01:31<_joey>
