I have been noticed about expiry of NOD32 on tomorrow! This is an urgent issue for me since I will be always attacked by Brontok.B whenever I attached my laptop to university’s network. Though, expiration only caused my laptop to have out-date virus signature, but it still recognizes Brontok.B. I am not sure there is not other virus or worm attempting to attack my laptop anyway.

As of today, it is very near the expiration time so I went out to purchase a new one. Luckily, it is very cheap, says 249 THB, about 6.5 USD. Actually, NOD32 is the cheapest anti-virus software in Thailand. Now it is in my hand. To use this new license, I have to register it first. Follow me.

To all command-line fanclub, I am very proud to announce the latest release of BTQueue 0.1.0 418. I recommend all you to upgrade as soon as possible to take all advantage of this bug fix version. Below is the list of fixed bugs.

1. Allow to force start a session with "resume" command
2. Handle failure gracefully
3. Support private tracker with malform announce url without failure

As always, all files are available at sf.net.

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!
