problems with python: what else is new???
I like to download using bit-torrent. Specifically, I enjoy using bittornado (in Windows at least). 3 months ago, when I ditched Windows for good, I installed bit-tornado using wine, because python gave me hella trouble. With sudden, horrid realization today, I discovered that bittornado in Wine was severely limited as downloading is concerned. Ever since I moved onto a faster network, I cannot get more than 24 Kb/s for download rate. I tried the same torrents in Windows and got a rate in excess of 60 Kb/s on average! So I decided to install the native linux version of bittornado one more time... of course, there was Python, waiting to screw me once again. (if you've seen my previous posts, you'll know that I absolutely HATE python. Short and simple: it hasn't ONCE worked right)
I downloaded the native linux version of bit-tornado, and used the python script to install. then I ran Code:
root@ZAXCOMP:/home/zax/BitTornado-CVS# btdownloadgui.py Side note: python sucks. |
oh yeah, this is a bunch of bullcrap. I decided to install the newest version of wxPython just to be sure, so downloaded the source file, and ran ./configure:
Code:

as for the other thing isn't there some version of bittorrent or bittornado that comes packaged to actually work on your particular system Quote:
i bet you just hate animals and liberal programming environmentalists |
or just install azureus and get on with life

haha. yeah, that's actually what I ended up doing (installing azureus). The java runtime environ. is a much more friendly system than python in linux (well, for all OS since it's cross-environment)
thanks all. |
