Azureus probelm

[GODDLY]

I'm trying to download Mandriva 2007 and Azureus has been frozen at 18.8kbs down for 10mins and I'm not getting past .01%.

EDIT: now I'm at 313.7kbs down and I'm at 4.7%

Also I have a hardrive in my computer still with the format of ntfs and Azureus says they're read only so I can't seed them.

I had problems when trying to download with Azureus(random freezes, speed problems), problems which I did not have with BitTorrent(for the same file).

BitTorrent just went through the file at a constant (high) speed.

Azureus has a lot of bells and whistles but I think it doesn't do the basic job of downloading properly.

Do you mean "see them?" Right now, NTFS is only stable for read-only, meaning you can see and read the files you have on that drive but can't modify them. If you would like, you can try ntfs-3g which will enable write support but is not yet entirely stable. Although, I have heard many people who have used it without any problems.

ntfs-3g's beta version is available. i am using it. a bit tricky to setup. it works fine. no problems yet.

Also how do you start Azureus after you've installed it? I mean it starts after I instlled it but how do I start it back up if I'm to turn it off?

I only had problems with azureus freezing and general bugginess on ubuntu. Every other distro where I've used azureus it was stable, a resource hog certainly, but stable.

As far as speed goes, slow download rates are usually the result of not forwarding the ports through iptables (the linux firewall).

I'm not a fan of BitTorrent. Have you tried using utorrent through wine? It works like a charm.

You could make a shortcut for it, or simply type in azureus at a terminal.

I ran BitTorrent in the same conditions as Azureus. By the way, it was on Fedora 5. My firewall was turned off (because I was frustrated with the slow speed) and my computer was set as DMZ on the router.

And SELinux disabled? Well I don't know what to say. I've ran Azureus fine on FC 5.

That's probably because you used Azureus with Fedora Core 5 default java.

Azureus rely on java, and it performs horibly with GCJ. You MUST use Sun's Java to get it working properly.
