Help me get Bittorrent to work!

[pusman83]

I'm on an iMac 333 and the big trouble seems to be that I'm on a proxy server (in res).

The default BT client for Breezy won't let me input proxy settings so I downloaded Azureus, for which no port gets detected in the wizard.

Any tips?

Use Azureus:rolleyes:

Have you read my initial post? No port gets detected with Azureus.

I have to give a proxy URL, server, username and password to get online.

Do you hava Java installed? Are you behind a firewall? If you are, you need to disable it at least in one port so that Azureus can connect.

Bittorrent should work out of the box on Breezy 5.10.
If you want to make sure you can use it, I suggest to install the following clients.

sudo apt-get install gnome-btdownload bittorrent bittorrent-gui bittornado bittornado-gui

Those clients and gui are both equally good. One of them has more features than the other. If you want to use one as default you can just simply right-click on the bittorrent file and select to open with whichever client you choose, whichever is best for you.

I hope this helps.

Problem with BTornado is that I can't seem to input the Proxy server info anywhere so it just times out if I try to download something.

No proxy support for Bittornado. D'oh!

How do I do that?

I'll be honest here. Adding proxies to bittorrent will visibly slow down your downloads and it doesn't hide you from the internet from whatever you may be downloading. The speed is in the numbers and ports. as a general rule I would personally have a router that has a built in firewall and open ports by triggers 6881~6889. Visit the website.
