Build 406 seems to be okay for general usage. Anyway, I got some bug reports last night. One of the bug is unacceptable so I have to release build 408 today. I recommend all you to upgrade as soon as possible to prevent malfunction.

Download the BTQueue 0.1.0 408 here.

I’m so sorry for the broken package again. Here is the BTQueue 0.1.0 406. Hopefully this is a perfect one. In addition, you can also specify version of BitComet to fake by using bc0059, bc0061, or bc0062.

Due to my mistake and lots of bug in BTQueue 0.1.0 390, I hope to fix all problems such as hash checking and WinXP, by this version. Below is list of improvement.

• Checking hash will be done one by one
• Fast resume is enabled by default
• Recognize uTorrent client ID
• Handle error better
• Added checking hash activity message

I have tested this version on Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy without problem. It works nearly perfect. However, it is too fast!

Since 0.1.0, BTQueue allows you to specify peer ID style such as BTQueue itself, Bram Cohen’s client, Azureus, and BitComet. This feature is added because some of my friends encountered difficulty to download from some trackers. These trackers do allow only some known clients such as Azureus because some clients work incorrectly. In order to change peer ID, simply modify policy.conf as follow.

peer_id = btq

There are 4 possible peer IDs such as btq, bt, az, and bc. Otherwise, you may run at the BTQueue prompt.

gset peer_id btq

Enjoy downloading!

I’m very exciting to announce the release of BTQueue 0.1.0. After very so long waiting for a year, I have finished BTQueue 0.1.0 and hopefully it works well without the classical bugs, e.g., 100% utilization and freezing.

This version is kind of beta release. You can leave comments and report bugs to help me fix them all. My purpose is to develop BitTorrent client for production run in data center and co-location.

This is the new beginning of BTQueue. By upgrading to 0.1.0, you are able to:

• Utilize DHT network compatible to Bram Cohen’s client and BitComet

I am very exciting to report the progress of integrating BitTorrent 4.4.0 to BTQueue 0.1.0. Last night, BTQueue 0.1.0 was starting to run on my laptop. It didn’t display status correctly yet but instead the thread handling is much more stable than ever.

I hope that it will function correctly by tonight. Anyway, I was so sad that this BitTorrent core doesn’t support download rate limitation. I will add this functionality back again later. By the way, this core does support customizable proxy for tracker protocol and may be not needed any patches.
