Azureus help

[Panda Man]

i just downloaded star ocean 2 and it worked great, but now whenever i try to download anything else i get Error: There are no more files, get Canonical path fails. i can seed just fine, and there are other ppl seeding the files im trying to get. can anyone help me out?

EDIT: all the torrents have the black face by the wa. also, i got ABC and tried it, and a download started. according to ABC, it world have taken 25 days to complete the download. (it had a yellow light also) i checked to see if a firewall was, and windows did have its friewall up. so i disabled it, nortan antivirus, automatic updates, and peerguardian, and it still will not work


EDIT EDIT: i gave bittornado one last shot, and it got the green light... so ill stick to that for now, but if some1 can still help me get azureus working, i would greatly appreciate it (i like the azureus interface better)

You might want to look on Azureus official webpage, i'm sure they are in a better position than us to help you.

Have you tried just re-installing the application?

[Panda Man]

I've only tried Burst!

I haven't had any real reason to try out other clients, as Burst! is working fine for me. Or is there a thing that it is missing? I can have multiple downloads and uploads going, automatic queue control on my seeding ratio, able to make new torrents, limit uploads or set it to unlimited... has both its own core and Shad0w's SuperSeed core. Is there anything I would need that other clients have?

How about some of this stuff.

File Prioritization.
Block Map.
Client List.
Download log.
Remote Admin function.
Rarity Block Selection
Random Block Selection
Pause/Resume Active Torrents

ok File Prioritization.
no Block Map.
ok Client List.
ok Download log.
no Remote Admin function.
no? Rarity Block Selection
no? Random Block Selection
ok Pause/Resume Active Torrents

Block map = useless, because I just keep them running background.
Remote admin = nice, don't need or can't use, only place I would need it would be school and no possibilities to use rem admin tools there.
And no info on what are those Block selections.

no? Rarity Block Selection
no? Random Block Selection

And no info on what are those Block selections.

Really you don't need any of the extras that the clients are adding on now. Give me the good old original BT client any day... ok just kidding, but really some of this stuff is not in the least usefull.

Raitry Block Selection, basicly means that you download the blocks that are the most rare first. I don't care to explain why but this will speed up your download for torrents with a small number of seeders downloaders.

Random Block Selection, is just totaly random. Apparently the orginal algorithm was not random.


I dont know if Azureus has all of these thing's, but this is the kind of stuff that the newest clients have added, or hope to add soon.

Ok, now I got them

I don't know if Burst! does that rarity thing, but it has many times happened that when I am a peer and there are no seeders but other peers, we get the file full, because my data is uploaded to another clients with more data shared.
