I'm still happy with BitTornado.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
OTOH? With Bittornado one bad torrent don't spoil the whole bunch, girl.
It might be too early for MJ references.

Does it spoil the bunch on Azureus or ABC? I hadn't noticed that.

On Azureus sometimes bad torrent froze the whole client in Windows. At least for me it used to be a problem, but they probably fixed that a year +ago, I suppose.
Because of early Azureus issues on my Windows machine, I've been using tornado since it was not named tornado.
