@Raziel

Amigift doesn't works (for now) under AOS4, due ixemul.library NOT supported by AOS4.

The author has already built a no-ixemul version but not fully working.

Sorry

2Nd chance . . . to build an ixemul.library AOS4 compliant

Did they already include hashing on the OpenFT Net? (Sort of CRC check)

@afxgroup

thanx andrea , this will make alot of people happy!.

No reason to apologize

Thanks for the note

@jiyong

I'm not using the OpenFT network, but if I remember well it uses MD5 for the hashing.

After you've installed the bit torrent client you could try this page:

@runetrek

If it is anything like Tomato Torrent on the Macintosh, then you guys are all in for a real treat!

> I would thanks nicomen too for it's great website.. if you are a developer cannot miss its site!

My pleasure :) Looking forward to testing amitorrent ;D

Or

Azureus

Azureus needs java though, so guess it won't run on AOS4 for some time...

works fine with Linux though

A while back (almost a year), I was given an Amiga compile of ctorrent to try out. I was suprised at how good it was. To get it to work "automatically" it was just a matter of configuring iBrowse's MIME settings, using the ".torrent" extension as the way to get the ctorrent port to run. Was suprisingly easy to setup and it seemed to work quite well.

However, since I haven't used my A4000 060/PPC in a while since, I use Azureus for my torrent need's on my windblows box.

good.. so you can help me if I have some other problems..

Isn't the *original* bittorrent written in Python (http://www.bittorrent.com/), and didn't someone here already port Python to OS4? I know the default GUI downloader is based on wxPython (obviously not available for OS4) but looking at the source it looks like there is a headless as well as a curses downloader amongst others. It should run on OS4 already, depending on how complete the port of Python to OS4 is.

BTW - anther good torrent site is suprnova.org.

yes, but there are clients written in C, C++, C# and probably something else
too, the most known is probably libbt (a link library which implements pretty much everything of bittorrent except the UI) and CTorrent (a shell client).

ctorrent kinda sucks. i would like to see bittornado on the amiga, though :)

@ALL

i'm not sure if release a beta version of AMITorrent. There are this problems/bugs I should correct..

1) On large files the initial wait is very tedious.. this is because I have no DMA active and so the creation of files (0 filled) is very slow
2) On program close, if file is not complete, the program does not save the current downloaded pieces
3) I have used a scroller to "simulate" a progress bar.. it is very very very ugly.. :(
4) I'm not sure but when the program close.. sometimes the communication with other peers is still available..
5) Other few bugs..

If you want to test it tell me and I publish it on os4depot.

N.B.
You need sha library to using AMITorrent. It is needed for hash of files. If someone has a SHA function..

Sounds as though it is approaching a useable state. Why not post a beta on on OS4depot

@afxgroup

by zero filled I take it you mean a bit value of zero and not the digit zero



is it possible to create a character array of 1024 elements all equal to binary value 0
the create a copy of the array with 1024*1024 elements
then basically write/flush the desired array x number of times until you have only a couple of hundred characters to write then write them quickly

I think there is a way of doing this by creating a memory block fillin the memory block with values then writing the memopry block to a file (think about an image, when you do a fill on an blank image it fillis it in really quickly because an image is a 1D array (same as a file (serial)) and you just write it out.

an image that is 100 px x 100px has a total of 10000 pixels (index 0 - 9999)
(x,y) cords = index z
width = 100
z = (y * width )+x;
so corrds (56,34) = (34 * 100)+56 = (3400+56) = index of 3456 on our 1d array

you should be able to do this im sure someone will point out the proper code for generating a file of size x

if you are creating a 100Mb file then when you have a 1Mb memory block you could just write it out 100 times

int create_blank_file(file_name, file_size){
// some code here
}

incase this is possible ( and I think it is ) you might be able to allocate larger blocks of memory (100 Mb at a time) if so you will need to check memory availablity and set a max block size to be half what ever memory is available no point killing a machine. but on an amiga with 1Gb of ram you should be able to go click thud 250Mb file exist (your save routine would be the bottle neck)

Wouldn't it be better to have a directory for partial downloads, and each incomplete file is stored as a collection of files in a directory. Say I'm downloading "bigfile.avi", you store it in a bunch of files:

PartialDownloads/bigfile.avi/00000000.part
PartialDownloads/bigfile.avi/00000001.part
PartialDownloads/bigfile.avi/00000052.part
PartialDownloads/bigfile.avi/00010236.part

And when all the parts are downloaded, you join them to Downloads/bigfile.avi and delete the bigfile.avi folder from partialdownloads. This creates less strain on the filesystem, and doesn't take up more space than the chunks you've downloaded.

funny was thinking of this after I posted (thought never thought of the strain)

so how would you work it ?

A. would you say use ten thread and it creates ten parts of (total file size in bytes \ number of threads)

or

B. would you just create 1 Mb files for each part and each thread takes one file until finished then mmoves onto the next available part until all down, then join,

with B (which I would go for) you could have a blank 1Mb file that you would just copy to the appropraite location and create it if it doesn't exist the only part file you would have to manually create would be the last one because it is less than one Mb

ie
if !file_exists(blank.bit){
create_blank_file blank.bit 1048576
}
copy blank.bit ram:
copy ram:blank.bit /path/part00001.bit
copy ram:blank.bit /path/part00002.bit
copy ram:blank.bit /path/part00003.bit
copy ram:blank.bit /path/part00004.bit
copy ram:blank.bit /path/part00005.bit
...
copy ram:blank.bit /path/part00999.bit
create_blank_file /path/part01000.bit 123456

copy the first file to ram then copy from ram a copy for HD to HD is probably slower than ram to HD

where create_blank_file takes two parameters path/filename and file size in bytes
