icarus41 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 It seems to me, bitcomet is free anyways eh? do any of you think its a good idea to politely ask for a source? I can understand the programmers not wanting to waste alota time behind making a port but, Bit Comet is kinda the s***. Its by far the best torrent program iv found out there, and linux users dont really have jack in the way of nice C/C++ torrent programs (ctorrent is alright but limited, and azureus uses java which is a horrid memory hog). I know a good number of C++/OOP programmers who would all be willing to help give it a shot (myself included). That aside though, BC rocks teh house :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 BC will not go open source and there are no plans of a Linux port. You can look at RTorrent or you can run BC under WINE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take he’s advice or go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of...orrent_software and make your one pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hramat Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 you can run BC under WINE Does anyone have experience with running BC on Wine or other Wine based emulator (f.e. crossover)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconid Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Does anyone have experience with running BC on Wine or other Wine based emulator (f.e. crossover)? I use macs running Mac OS X. I use utorrent through CrossOver for Mac. Except for one problem which I can work around easily, it works great. I tried installing BC through CrossOver, and it was installing nicely until I was told I needed to install IE 6.0 or above to make a certain windows file available. Now, running a windows program I like on my Mac is good, but installing IE just so another program will run is out of the question. For what it's worth, that's been my experience with trying to run BC with CrossOver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Since bit comet is integrated with IE, it needs to have the basic IE componants to work properly. I too would like to see our developers produce a linux client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The only thing that's needs IE is the internal browser. If you go in a set BitComet not to open links in it's internal browser everything will be fine. :) And yeah Mac IE was discontinued some time ago, I wouldn't waste my time with it either.
