Using SmartLaunch with Bittorrent
(http://www.os2notes.gotdns.org/images/smartlaunch.jpg)
I use Smartlaunch to manage my bittorrent downloads and I use Torpak from Dink (Updated to ctorrent dnh3.2!) Beginning with dnh1.1 the default peer ID has been changed for convenience, as some other clients and trackers assume that it is the old cTorrent and won't cooperate with it.

Nice. :)
I'll have to try this in the weekend, when I have more time.
You made a little mistake on your website though.
You unzip tor to e:\tor but then you talk about making a WPS icon with the path of c:\tor
Thanks for sharing, and I have to check out the rest of your site. Looks good, and I hadn't seen it before although I regularly search the net for OS/2 or eCS sites.
I didn't install smartlaunch - I'm happy with C-torrent as it is, but thanks to you and your site I can for the first time use Gimp with Hoblink. Really super! Thanks a lot! If Pixel ever will show up as an eComStation port, it will be really good, but I really doubt that, so Gimp via Hoblink is a really great! (And of course thanks to Alex Taylor who have provided the packages!)
Thanks for the corrections and comments!!!

I havent been keeping up with Pixel lately, but there was an eComStation port for it. I have it running on my laptop. I tried getting it onto one of my more powerful machines, but it wont re-registers... and no response from them as to how I can resolve that (I have no need for it on my laptop - especially with far more powerful desktops than my ancient Thinkpad 600 - so I'd have no problems removing it from the laptop and running it from a desktop - if only I could get an answer from them as to how I could do that).

Out of this thread but anyway, regarding Pixel:
Pixel for eCs is in beta 6 and very buggy. Focus is now on Linux, Mac and Windows and builds for all other OS are seen as experimental now. If you have read the forums you could see much of frustration over broken promisies especially regarding releasetimes. The beta seven was not intended to be released but in the end it was anyway. People are now waiting for beta 8 and time is already away from expected, and those betas are for the moment just for the three "core-platforms". So really I don't think one should expect anything regarding eCS, but Pixel shure have potential, so that is a pity.

The releases for the "core" platforms are also unusable and that the people are mad is totally understandable.
To get nearer to the topic:
Maybe some want to try my Azureus4eCS package which is using SWTSwing (see bounty for that)...
http://www.juergen-ulbts.de/swtswing
I just got a report from a user having problems with the NAT stuff (always red using Innotek Java 1.4.2_09). Anyone else with this problem?
Might be good to continue that in the SWTSwing thread here:
http://www.os2world.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,63/topic,298.30/
I updated and completed the page for Bittorrent & Smartlaunch!

Plus I added the entire package in a zip file:

Does anyone still have the file for this? cBT_GET.zip
I lost my computer and all backups. Please email me a copy at: <GreggoryShaw@cableone.net>
Thanks

Nice and lean package. The problem is that cTorrent is not an allowed client on many trackers.
There's a litle bug in one of the cTorrent's for OS/2-eCS
If the torrent contain a folder with a space in the end it can't be recreated on OS/2-eCS and cause it to fail. One can however then set it to download to a valid folder, but if it contain additional folders or even files it'll halt with some error. I've stumbled upon a few torrents that contain folders (and files) that way.
Ctorrent9 seem to handle it better though.

Hi all!
I think sXwamp's last post should be related to his losing all the data stored on his hard-drive (which he gives account of in this thread: http://www.os2world.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,63/topic,1421.0/ ). So it seems he needs this very file just for recovering some file he knows it's in that archive.
(Feb 3, 09) - I updated "BitTorrent & Smartlaunch" in the How to: section with enhanced ctorrent dnh3.2. Does anyone know if the latest enhanced ctorrent dnh3.3.2 has been ported to OS/2 yet?

Thanks to Kay & Ivan for sending me the file that I needed! Here is my new site:

I've just found another bug in both the cTorrent's for OS/2-eCS
If the filename inside the package contain " (quotation marks) it'll fail to write to file.

I suspect any file writes using characters not directly supported in file names will cause an issue. I think a mechanism needs to be put into place to auto rename them in some fashion, much like the WPS does when people try naming folders with unsupported characters through it.
Wonder if the maintainers of cTorrent would mind doing so...

I know I'm a bit off-topic here with PIXEL but the link died: "www.kanzelsberger.com" the burial has been postponed until I can try it again, for sure later, as I am really interested in it...as I am with the Bittorrent and SmartLaunch; As far a Bittortent goes, I don't know if we are talking the same thing here or not, as I found, using Lycos Search, the Bram D.L. Site...http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/archive/ but so many files came up, I have no idea as to which one to download for OS2 or even if it exists there...BTW, even more off-topic-"if": I was doing major downloading I would just keep my FTP Server up all of the time and invite everyone to up/download stuff assuming that OS/2 users were given the proper clearance... ??? Pixel for OS/2 link still no worky? Will try once more then on to other things such as trying to get rid of my WSeb Book on FleaBay...perhaps.

Greetings ModZilla.
You have covered a few topics.
Your post would be easier to respond to if you separated the topics and reposted them with unique subject titles.
Answering them all here would unravel the thread... and all the mixed replies would burst the thread at the seams.
"Sew what?" you might say? :D
I bet those got you all in stitches... :o
These jokes are tailor made for this thread... I mean, there definitely is a pattern to them.
Ahmm...
Just a thought.
Some interesting topics there BTW...
Now... where was I?
Oh yes... *knit one, perl two, OS/2 is all we do... *
Glad you are well and able to moderate, I think this thread already burst and so a joke, may be, do tell I did no introduce PIXEL into this but I found the link dead so I thought maybe someone could help me out! But no,obviously NOT...anyway I would have been interested to learn more
Greetings, ModZilla.
Your subjects were rather interesting and I was looking forward to the replies...
... topic division would encourage the health of their subsequent threads.
Ergo: I was acting out of self-interest; I do not moderate... not my job. :D
I do appreciate your interest in my health; I am very healthy. Thank-you.
I hope that the same is true in you.
Be well.
Thanks Ben, Pixel is dead!

Someone please start a new thread in APPS for Pixel. Gimp 2.2.8 with HOBLink/2 can be installed and running in a couple of minutes for free.
I started this topic, because I thought Smartlaunch with Bittorrent was a nice and easy way to manage your Bittorrent downloads. More important is enhanced ctorrent (http://www.rahul.net/dholmes/ctorrent/) is still being developed and it would be great if the current version of enhanced ctorrent was ported to eCs/Os2. Thank you for the comments, corrections and bug reports.

On a similar topic, has anyone looked at porting Deluge BitTorrent client to os/2? It appears to need Python.
