BitTorrent Facil

This manual this fact basing to me on the Bittornado (modified version, just as mods of emule) it is equal to the official Bittorrentl, but it includes enough improvements with respect to this, although it has many but clients this for my taste are the one that better works and in addition it has the same style that the original one. With which it would be possible to be said that also it is worth for the official. There are some clients who do not look themselves in anything like the official, although the concepts are such, and I do not believe that there are problems for its use after using this.

What is Bittorrent:

It is a program P2P (to peer to to peer), in which while unloadings a file simultaneously also other clients unloaded that file of your bittorrent.
This program is under the MIT_License , so you can manipulate the source code while you leave the license that it has. With which it is possible to be distributed freely (Free).

The Bittorrent was created for the fast distribution of archives, in principle for the distributions Linux, since to the being so great these saturated the FTP´s thus and simultaneously that unloading also you rise parts from that file the rest of the users, although or this very extended and it is used to distribute any file, although these do not last much, since I have said is a system of fast distribution, and when or torrent has been distributed is inactive, since nobody shares it once it closes the program. Although always which can be requested that they return it to share but that serious too slow one, with this program is good for new things, if you look for something not very new the best software is eMule..

In order to install it single it is necessary download the installer and to execute this like in any other program of Windows.

As the network Bittorrent works:

In this network there is a server who is in charge to connect between if to all the clients, this server is called Tracker, been to say so that you can lower to a file the Tracker must have torrent of that file.
The file torrent, is a very small file in which this the information that needs the program to be able to begin the unloading and has the extension *.torrent.
So to make it work first he is to be able *.torrent, once we have this file and we execute from our client bittorrent, this was in charge to look for the Tracker that corresponds to him, when it has connected itself to this Tracker, this will say who this distributing to him to the file and who are lowering it, so that our client can be connected to all and thus to begin to download the file.

First Steps & configuration:

First it is to install it, if you do not have the installer download here, once you execute it single will appear a window ask you where installs it, normally in program archives, so if you do not want to install it elsewhere we give install him and ready, when it finishes you close that sale already and this, that was everything.

In order to begin a unloading it is necessary to be able *.torrents, for it is multitude of webs which they distribute things by means of the Bittorrent, down I will put connect them of but the well-known ones, although putting in google "downloads Bittorrent" they will leave many. Normally they will put something as east Torrent uploads alongside and the connection, or some directly put a list with all torrents that they have, kitchen maids in whom you want and that unloaded torrent.

as example I am going to use this file torrent:smallville.s04e09.hdtv-lol.torrent

Once we have kept *.torrent in our computer, we go to the folder in which we have kept it and we double click. and appear a window to choose the folder where we want to save the file, in this case an episode of smallville in a folder that is called "resto".

Once chosen the place where we are going to keep the final file already it appears our Bittornado showing to us as the thing goes:

(click the image to enlarge)

Good, We are going to see that it is what appears, is like all the windows of Windows, unless if we punctured in diminishing:

The program wrath to the bar of tasks, down to the left next to the clock, so that it returns to appear we click double in.
First that we see it is in title the percentage and amount of MB of the file that we took unloaded and alongside the name.
It arrives at the right has I circulate that it can have several colors, if we punctured in we will see what means each one.
In principle they are:

- black : it means that still you have not connected yourself to the Tracker, is the normal thing if you finish it putting, takes a little. If it does not change of color in much short while, or torrent this inactive one (nobody shares it) or isn´t connection to Internet.
- Red : just as the black but now if these connected to the Tracker, wait to that it finds other clients. If it does not change of color in much short while it is that it does not share anybody.
- Yellow : or these connected to the Tracker and other clients, but nobody has connected you, if in awhile anybody it has done it, is that there are problems with the ports, or by fire-resistant or which they are closed in router.
- Blue : this means that everything works correctly but nobody has the whole file, although if he is new probably will be because the one that sends it hides some parts to improve its distribution and not to send to all the users the same piece.
- Green : everything goes well

Alongside they appear 4 options:
Details: if we punctured here, appears information, like the direction of the Tracker, hash, size of file...
Avanced: here it will appear a window with all the connections that we are doing, as well as what we have lowered and raised of the rest of clients and what they take unloaded in general those clients.
About: here there are information of the author of the program and some links.

And the important one:
Pref.:
(click the image to enlarge)

in principle if one does not know that it goes not to touch it.
But the important thing:
* Minimize to system tray:
when activated being, if we give the diminished button sent it next to the clock
* Strech window to fit torrent name:
if we activated it it will cause that the window is as great as the name of the file, if you pay attention to 2ª image the name of the file does not enter the bar of I title.
* Display to peer and seed statistics:
it shows statistics of peers and seeds
* Display miscellaneus to other statistics
: it shows more statistics
* Multiple Dont´t allow conections from the same IP
: this prevents that they do more connections to us from the same computer
* Kick/Ban clients that send you bad dates:
this will prevent that the people who send corrupted parts to us return it to do.
* inable read/write buffer:
the buffer is where the data keep before happening to their final location, you do not deactivate it unless you have a Pentium VII.
* Flush dates to disk every 5 you make a draft:
I suppose that will be to copy the data to the hard disk each 5 min.
* Force icon to display green when firewalled:
this force that the circle before becomes green when there are problems with the ports. But it will continue being problems..

Underneath we can change the colors of the progress bar:
Checking: when we reinitiated a uploading and this verifying what there is uploaded.
Downloading: when we are downloading something
Seedeing: when we have the complete uploading and we are sharing the file to the rest of the users.

Underneath it puts: default save Path, here we can to put folder and kept all archives that we lower there, underneath puts ask where to save or what is the same to ask where to keep it, this is when we opened * torrent, if we want that it always asks to us (always), (to never) or never auto-resume that it verified the single one if we had already unloaded before something of that file.


In the right side of the superior part:
The rank of ports, we will be able here to put the ports that are going to be able to use the Bittorrent, if we must router or fire-resistant it is necessary to form it.
If we want that single it uses from the 5000 to the 5005 we would put in Port range:
From:5000
To:5005

In order to put you limit them of speed, is to say the bandwidth that we will let to him use,
We can use the square of default rate settings that this to the right more or less by means, and we will put our connection here:
Automatic = the program looked for single as it is our connection
seeder = if we are those that we shared the file for the first time and single we have it complete.
although from the main window also we will be able to put the speed in KB/s
If we changed something we give to the button save him and all torrents began with that configuration.

 

Let us return to principal window:

Underneath the progress bar they appear the following data:
The time that takes with that file (Time elapsed) and what esteem that it has left to finish (Time estimated).
Underneath the speed of unloading and ascent (download rate/upload rate)
What we took unloaded (downloaded) and what we have raised (uploaded)
And just alongside share rating, this is our radius of ascent and slope, we go, to say it somehow, which we have shared east file, value 1 means that we have raised just like we have unloaded, if he is inferior means that we have lowered but of which we have raised.

Underneath it puts to whichever clients these connected, peers is those that still do not have the complete file, and seeds is those that already have completed it, but that still is connected to help the distribution of the file. And also it appears the joint speed of all peers.

In the part of down it is where we formed the speed, although this also could be done from the preferences, but also we will be able here to put the KB/s by hand. As one is single is possible to be formed the speed of ascent and to the clients who you can raise simultaneously, and according to the value that is put of ascent it formed the slope automatically. So if you put that single it raises 1 KB/s you do not hope that it downloads more of 3 KB/s This is is for a quite simple reason, if anybody loss does not rise, so that there is ftp´s nor nothing here that speed gives but, depends solely on which the users go an a others, for that reason also is important to leave it open when to the finishing the unloading awhile long, so that if those that they have finished unloading the file become disconnected those that are will not be able to complete it, and in the end you will be your the one that remains but of once with the file by halves, in addition enough trackers ban(no them they let enter) the users who do not share the sufficient thing, with which you could not return to lower nothing that was in that Tracker.
