Ωραίος φίλε. Η διευθυνση είναι εδώ.

Αυτό που μου έκανε εντύπωση είναι το νέο φίλτρο/αναζήτηση στις επιλογές. Δεν το έχω ξαναδεί σε άλλο πρόγραμμα και νομίζω ότι δείχνει πόση προσοχή δίνει στη λεπτομέρεια και στην ευχρηστία η ομάδα του Azureus.

 

Και κάτι άλλο, σχετικό. Το τελευταίο δίμηνο έχω την τελευταία beta της έκδ. 6 της Java. Δεν έχω δει πρόβλημα στα λιγοστά προγράμματα Java που έχω και μου φαίνεται γενικά πολύ βελτιωμένη: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Java_SE_Runtime_Environment_JRE/1011824317/1

Πολύ καλός ο βάτραχος, ο καλύτερος torrent client imho αν και λίγο βαρύς εξαιτίας Java. Αυτό που δε μάρεσε (λεπτομέρεια) είναι ότι τώρα άμα κάνεις sort κάνει και highlight το column

[mohic4n]

Σωστός ο WaVe να μας ενημερώσει για το νέο "βάτραχο"

 

Όντως είναι καλύτερο από το προκάτοχο του. Δεν έχω δει μέχρι στιγμής χρησιμοποίηση της CPU άνω του 10 (που με το παλιό είχα και 15 μερικές φορες συνεχόμενα). Όσο για μνήμη, μάλλον τρώει λίγο παραπάνω από όσο πριν... Εκτος και αν τώρα κατεβάζω και ανεβάζω με full speed καταναλώνει περισσότερη.

 

θα δείξει και στο μέλλον πως θα πάει...

 

Πολύ καλός πάντως client είναι το mtorrent, αν και σε σύγκριση με το Azureus θα διάλεγα το δεύτερο λόγω των δυνατοτήτων του.
