I checked both stores, cause they are both "good" ones, but newegg was always cheaper for what I wanted, Also, hen I ordered my case it said it would be a week or so to get here, got here in 2 days.

Hey guys,
Just a few updates regarding the torrents. First of all, the torrent download functionality is now hosted on windows instead of linux which should result in faster page loads for the page listing the completed downloads.
The program used for downloading torrents has been switched to uTorrent. This should provide more peers as uTorrent has its own method of keeping track of additional peers via DHT (dynamic hash table), resulting in better and faster downloads. The URL is still http://wtorrent.shahm.ir/
Additionally, the completed torrent download page has been updated. Before, it showed torrents that were still downloading, but now it only lists torrents that have actually finished downloading. Additionally, the functionality of the page has switched from everything being listed on one page to showing the files and sub-directories in the current directory and from there being able to drill down into the sub-directory to see the files and sub-sub-directories in the sub-directory; this way, there's less clutter on the page and it's easier to find content. For reference, the page listing the completed downloads is http://www.shahm.ir/torrents/
Finally, as before, this functionality is only available to elites and above, so try it out and let me know how it looks.

Cool, I was wondering why the password enter thing had changed. Nice change, I always liked uTorrent best, it is the only one I use anymore. Definitely a much better interface. Very nice.
So wTorrent didn't have DHT? I didn't know that, I oftentimes get more peers from DHT then any tracker. If I am not using a private site, I make sure DHT is on, just makes everything quicker.

It did have DHT, but I don't know if it worked with uTorrent or not.

Pardon my idoicracy, but where would us elite's and above locate the user/pass.
I've always had to disable dht with my torrents at home, I think it creates a massive amount of half open connections which causes my modem to crap out. Not entirely sure though, as I still have issues even with it disabled, internet slows to a crawl even if I'm only downloading at 5kbps.

No sig for you.

Um, -----------------------, same as it has always been.
You would think you elite's and above would know that.
Also, I have no prob with DHT what so ever. The only thing that slows my net down with torrents is uploading more then 50kps, or downloading more then 500kps.
