BiglyBT BitTorrent Client
-
Hi I was thinking of changing my Bit Torrent client the former developers of Vuze launched BiglyBT and was wondering as anyone used it. does it work ok and is it compatible with the torrents on this site.
Thank you in advance

it's pretty much exactly like vuze. Same layout and functions, but I am having issues with it on this site. Seems I snatch files but it doesn't show I downloaded the files on this site.
It does seem to be really slow on startup also as compared to vuze. -
It sounds like just like with Vuze, you need to adjust some of the default settings. Namely, the settings that handle what to do when seeding the torrent. If there are no peers, the torrent will stop by default. When this setting is enabled, the client never updates with the tracker that it has completed the torrent. It simply stops the torrent when complete, which also does not accurately report all the data to the tracker.

Thanks Mazda, I had scraping set by default. So hopefully it will start acting better.

I just thought I'd point out that I just now noticed something a little off in some user profiles who are using BiglyBT. Namely, the program is not properly reporting a valid port number to the tracker. With the way our tracker is setup, this can be a BIG problem.
Also, this raises the question of what else it does not accurately report to the tracker.
