BTQueue

Azureus produces bad sectors

Okay. Let me clarify a few things first. My favorite BitTorrent client is BTQueue for sure. I have never wanted to run other BitTorrent client especially on hosts placed in data center. BTQueue is the best candidate to run on server-class machine for remotely controlling through the Internet. Anyway, my friend didn’t think so. He had a machine running Windows 2003 because he like to use mouse to control everything instead of just a keyboard like me. This machine has been placed at a data center to run Azureus for him and then transferred files back to his home via FTP. Everything worked fine except only the bad sectors. Sometimes, the machine hung up without any notification. Then he checked all drives to ensure their healthy. In contrast, this machine has 3 drives, a IDE and two SATA. As a result, he found bad sectors in all drives, the most of them were existed in the IDE drive which is the system drive. This situation should not happen because all data are set to store in the two SATA. However, he claimed them all. Unfortunately, he had to claim some of them or all of them every 2 months.

BTQueue has finally found new home

Greeting! I am glad to tell all you that I have found new home to run BTQueue. That means I can continue development to improve and fix more bugs. Anyway, it is FreeBSD. Below is my wishlist.

  1. Web-based interface with access control (may be a module under Drupal)
  2. Support Distributed Hash Table
