Okay, we hate the new official Bittorrent client update. What is the well-dressed downloader using these days? Did that issue with Azureus ever get fixed? Desired benefits include the ability to run as many torrents as I damn well want at once, throttling the upload speed, etc.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Generally stained underwear and a bathrobe. Why do you ask?

You get none of my KB, sir.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm still happy with BitTornado.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I used Yet Another Bittorrent Client, until it hung with GF, revealing its UDP issues. Then I googled UDP torrent client and picked XBT for no good reason. It worked.

Yeah, BitTornado doesn't do UDP, but so far, the only UDP torrent I've ever come across was the GF torrent, which I was able to find a non-UDP torrent for.

I think I had BitTornado before -- does it have a separate window for each download?

Yup.

I prefer the ones that run once and download multiple torrents because you can shut the whole shebang down and restart it again later without having to find where you left the silly torrents and start back up again one by one.
Azureus did rock, but now I'm bitter.

RSS Question:
I want to change the way I'm doing the feed. Currently, there's a chron job that checks for updates and pre-pends them to the XML file stored on disk.
Instead, I'd like to have the file dynamically generated on request -- like an index_rss.php that on the fly serves up the RSS for the last X items. I've found this works for some clients (like the Abilon News Aggregator), but Bloglines couldn't care less. I'm serving it up with the mime type of text/xml, by the way.
