Development

Progress of BTQueue

It has been for so long since the last official release of BTQueue, 0.1.3, and also the ongoing development in a seperate branch. As I mentioned earlier, BTQueue is moving to a new engine, BitTorrent 4.20.9. I would like to report the latest status of this branch.

Heading to Drupal 5.0

Drupal is widely adopted by large number of major sites around the world since it released 4.7.0 early this year. I like the idea to generate things instead of searching and replacing as usual. It's so call constructive approach. Well, Drupal 5.x is currently on the way. It has lots of promising features. By the way, Drupal has a trade-off problem which you might think it is very dangerous to implement your sites using Drupal. In short, Drupal is usually improved by each major version alot so the newer version might be incompatible to the later one. This problem may not be applied to the standard modules where official supports are available. The fact is that most contributions are incompatible to the newest version and it might be still incompatible until mid of next year.

This year is a good year for programmers around the world since there are several specific search engine dedicated to source code, especially open sources. I don't have much chance to try this kind of technology so I will talk about only the top two services: Krugle and .

Torrent Portal for BTQueue

On behalf of a BTQueue developer, I am glad to introduce you to a web-based BitTorrent client running on top of BTQueue called Torrent Portal.

BTQueue is going to have a new core

Sorry for so long delay. It's all my fault since I am very busy due to my work. Anyway, I have been trying to upgrade core engine from BitTorrent 4.4.0 to BitTorrent 4.20.9. After getting the note, I decided to publish my unfinished work.

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/btqueue/branches/BitTorrent-4.20.9 btqueue

Don't expect too much. It is in very early stage and unusable in all case. It could just start the program and exit properly.

How does IP to Country module work

I got a request to write a brief explanation how IP to Country module work. I supposed to provide a comprehensive documentation at howforge.com but there was no time to do that. The fact is that I completely forgot until got this reminder. Now I have decided to write something useful as his request.
