(02:02:09) andguent: what is the status on bt? is it useable? - somehow i currently got a use for that :D
(02:04:06) anothy_x: what is "bt" in this context?
(02:04:29) andguent: bittorrent
(02:04:47) andguent: sry. i sometimes speak without revealing the context of my mind
(02:04:49) anothy_x: just checking. no idea, sorry.

(11:56:51) mjl-: andguent: it is starting to become usable
(11:56:56) mjl-: it still has a few rough edges
(11:57:20) mjl-: i have one bug to investigate
(11:57:40) mjl-: and i have to commit a change to the http lib that it uses, but have to check if that doesn't break other stuff using the lib
(11:57:43) mjl-: coffee now

(17:59:37) mjl-: andguent: i fixed the two things.  you could give it a try
(18:02:35) andguent: mjl-: oh. well unfortunately another client already fullfilled my need :-/
(18:02:50) mjl-: bummer :)
(18:02:51) andguent: sry. i seldomly use bt

(18:53:57) anothy_x: mjl-: can you provide a bit more detail on the usability? i use bittorrent semi-regularly.
(19:13:36) mjl-: sure
(19:14:00) mjl-: i think the major hurdles are: 1. there might be bugs.  2. one instance of the program handles only one .torrent file
(19:14:08) mjl-: perhaps a third is that it uses a bit too much cpu
(19:14:31) mjl-: but the last one i can live with
(19:14:39) mjl-: it does let you set bandwidth restrictions and such
(19:15:06) mjl-: i've transferred many gigabytes of data with it already, so it does do useful things :)
(19:15:11) mjl-: you use it like so:
(19:15:20) mjl-: mount {torrent/peer some.torrent} /mnt/torrent
(19:15:25) mjl-: and optionally: wm/torrent /mnt/torrent
(19:15:32) mjl-: if you want to see what it is doing
(19:15:33) anothy_x: does it recognize partially-transered files? that is, if i grab part of a file, kill it, and restart later, will it recognize what it's already done?
(19:15:39) mjl-: yes
(19:15:58) mjl-: given some.torrent, it will maintain a file some.torrent.state with that information in it
(19:16:03) mjl-: simply as a bit array
(19:16:26) mjl-: if you start torrent/peer, it will either create that file, or read it and use its info
(19:18:12) anothy_x: i'll give it a shot next time i have a torrent to grab.
(19:18:20) mjl-: cool
(19:20:15) anothy_x: i'm used to using vuze (née azureus); i really like the visibility into what's going on it offers.
(19:23:34) mjl-: ah, haven't used it, though i should
(19:23:42) mjl-: i've used μtorrent for testing
(19:24:07) mjl-: also had enough informatino for me
(19:24:40) mjl-: http://www.ueber.net/who/mjl/tmp/wmtorrent3.png
(19:24:46) mjl-: http://www.ueber.net/who/mjl/tmp/wmtorrent5.png
(19:25:05) mjl-: that's some of the info wm/torrent shows, it gets that from torrent/peer's styx files
(19:25:16) anothy_x: nice!
