Yay! I found an old version of Azureus!

[GirlinContempt]

Man do I ever HATE Vuze
Who's with me?

[DS1]

1. the browsing and graphic intensive interface is totally pointless, to me

[GirlinContempt]

2. Yes, completely

And it's a total memory whore. And I started having this problem where it would 'update', and then 'restart' itself, but never actually restart... over and over and over again.

Rargh.

[Solon]

3. One of the few times I'm glad a program is Windows only...

I only get the old version of Azureus on Linux. :P

[GirlinContempt]

4. Well, I refuse to use Vuze anymore

god, ick

[GirlinContempt]

5. Oh my god.

It just updated itself to Vuze
I'm going to murder someone

[Solon]

7. I don't see why they had to ruin Azureus like this...

Why is it that programming philosophy turned from "simpler is better" to "throwing as much crap in as possible"?

[GirlinContempt]

11. As much ugly annoying shiny crap, at that.

[Solon]

15. And all it does is slow the program down to a crawl...

I don't need fucking ads or knowing what the fuck the "latest videos" are when I'm downloading a 15 GB torrent.

[GirlinContempt]

17. Yeah, frustrating as all hell.

At least it's finally recognizing my ports :D

[Solon]

20. That's good...

Its just so frustrating when they change programs for the sake of change, or pandering to the lowest common denominator. Seriously, I don't need a pretty interface, I just want a program that works, period. I prefer having a dozen programs that do whatever they are supposed to do well, rather than one program that does all dozen things, but poorly.

[GirlinContempt]

21. Well

When I can no longer go without updating it, I guess I may just have to find a new client, but I don't wanna :(

[Solon]

22. I don't have any recommendations...

Azureus, the pre-Vuze version, is the best, in my opinion. It would probably still work fine for a few more years, unless a new Windows Version is completely incompatible with it at some future date, or updates in Vista renders it inoperable.

[GirlinContempt]

23. Oh yeah, I think I'll be good for a while

Just... eventually

[GirlinContempt]

24. How'd you sleep?

[Solon]

25. I slept OK, how did you sleep?

I woke up around 4 pm.

[GirlinContempt]

26. Like shit

and I was up at 2
ick, eh?

[Solon]

27. I'm sorry, its hard sometimes to go to sleep...

especially when you are in pain.

:hug:

[GirlinContempt]

28. Yeah

I've been having like night terrors or something, it's not great, but whatever

[Solon]

29. That sucks...

I hope it doesn't happen every night.

[GirlinContempt]

30. Pretty much yeah

but I always fall asleep eventually.
Again, it's the drugs

[Solon]

31. Aww, I wish I could do something to make you feel better.

:hug:

[GirlinContempt]

32. Meh, these things happen

Right now all I can smell is paint thinner/stripper/whatever
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[Solon]

33. Is that the drugs, or is someone actually using that crap somewhere near you?

Ah, I just love the smell of benzene in the morning! :sarcasm:

[GirlinContempt]

34. We're stripping paint off the window frames

[Solon]

35. That sounds like fun...

OK, not really, just trying to keep a positive spin on things. :)

[GirlinContempt]

36. Yeah, fun isn't my first choice of word

[DS1]

9. hahahah

sorry, but you'd laugh too


perhaps you can uninstall and shut off all methods of auto-update, if you haven't tried already

[GirlinContempt]

10. That's what I'm trying to do right now

Cause that's just fucked up :P

[Mojambo]

6. uTorrent is where it's at.

Make sure you get the 1.6.1 client and not the 1.7

[GirlinContempt]

8. I don't like it.

[Mojambo]

12. Why not?

It's lean and very user friendly.

[GirlinContempt]

13. I just don't like it.

User-friendly isn't much of a selling point for me :shrug:

[Mojambo]

14. Okay. Best of luck with Azureus. n/t

[GirlinContempt]

16. Thanks.

I love it, I just stopped it from auto updating so I can stick with the old functional version.

[Mojambo]

18. It killed my browsing speed no matter what settings I used.

Never could get Azureus tuned right myself.

[GirlinContempt]

19. Hm, that's odd.
