They are the same nowadays. The difference seems to be that one includes a toolbar where the other installs it if the user asks to.

One of the two pieces of software do install a toolbar without asking for it or do I misunderstand you? This would be the behaviour of malware, mentioned incidentally?

uTorrent has an optional toolbar included in its installation (though you need to pay attention during install; it's enabled by default). I've never had any problems at all with it though, security or otherwise, for what that's worth. I don't know anything about what the BitTorrent client installs, as I don't use it.

Note there is also possibility to use BitLet, a tiny BitTorrent client running as a Java applet inside the web browser. Quick and easy when I tried it.

There are some disadvantages:

• Have to get a BitTorrent client.

Nice idea, but entirely dependent on people keeping up the seeding - I was staring at a 2 to 3 hour download time until someone started seeding at a sane speed.

No more worries about keeping the main installer as small as possible.

I see 200+ seeds here.

Sounds like your client isn't scraping correctly.

By client he meant the torrent application you used.

It is normal to see connections to other users [peers in torrent speak] [client in your terminology] come and go. Also, quite normal to have it take a bit upfront time for your download desire to be recognized and attended to.

This is probably not the right place to discuss tweaking your particular app and it's settings. My download took 20 - 30 seconds.

Glad you got it downloaded.

No-one seeding at the moment? I need this on my other PC!

I can confirm that this decision has been taken to reduce bandwidth. In fact, we have done this before but it seems to have happened before most posters here started following foobar2000 development, so it's really nothing new... Currently downloads eat up most of our allotted bandwith. We know from experience that releases can quadruple our bandwidth usage over a period of time, meaning that at some point in the future we're guaranteed to run out of it. So we could order more; but this isn't that attractive to a free project, it doesn't scale well, and most of the time, we don't actually need it.

Why isn't it just uploaded to www.megaupload.com and www.rapidshare.com and everybody can download them for free.

Just need to publish the MD5 just in case.

You need to open whatever ports Opera needs open in your router, yes.

why not enable DHT for the torrent? DHT is an nice feature

I have the torrent added here, and DHT is enabled. Maybe you need to check the torrent properties dialog? Is the DHT checkbox disabled there?
