uTorrent. Works for me.

So, you wish to see your current ratio in Azureus?

if so, then on "My Torrents" tab, right click a torrent you are seeding/leeching then choose "Show Details". A new tab will pop up showing the stats of the current ratio. On the "Transfer" area, you will see your share ratio plus the upload and download.

If you want to see your total ratio for all of the torrents, there's a ratio light below the window. It'll tell you your total ratio.

Well, that's how it works with Linux, I don't know about Windows but it could be the same.

That is how it works in windows as well, I think it works the same in all since it is java based and they probably don't want to make lots of layouts. You can also view a torrents ratio in the my torrent page if you include that tab on the column setup.

Then there is also the statistics page under tools, this holds more complete data for transfer than the light at the bottom.

ah i see thanks for the info. But im curious why use Azurues for Windows? it will take up more ram than other client because you need to run the code through JVM. and I know that JVM eats memory. well, that is of course if you can use the GNU java compiler in windows, but i dont know if you can. cause the GNU java compiler can compile java language directly in to machine code, hence no need of the virtual machine. That's what I use in Linux so that I wouldn't take much system memory. and since aside from Bitcomet and uTorrent which has no rpm releases, I can only use Azureus as the fastest client.

If you are running Windows, i suggest you use uTorrent, i heard lots of things from that client.

We used to have azureus on our torrent server at home. It was absolutely great because of the web interface, and so could be accessed from anywhere.

HOWEVER,

We have taken it off in the last week because azureus is an absolute memory whore. uTorrent doesn't have quite as many nifty features as azureus (at the moment), but it uses 10% of the memory azureus was using.

They are working on lots of new features and such. It is a relatively new project and just needs some time for everything to come out. But it has speeded up the server no end!

I've been using Bittornado since its earliest incarnations, and I've used alot of other clients (Including Azureus, and I find that program to be a ram hog, and it takes too long to restart after patches that seem in a never ending supply, just like microsoft), and I find that its one of the best BT clients I've used.

I doubt I will ever move over to utorrent, their philosophy isn't one I share. They will never allow a user to ban another user manually, they have no large banning tools for discarding unwanted peers at the creation of a torrent.

Then there are several other things that are lacking in the feature department for me. Maybe those will come or not, but I'm not really interested, I enjoy the ban feature way to much. Besides, I'm on a slow connection, a decently new computer and restart azureus once in a while when turning it off due to various reasons. So the 200mb or so I've seen it take up at most for me isn't a big deal, for me. Mostly it is because I like its layout, options and features more than any other client on windows I've tried out (only tried azu, official, utorrent and bittornado (doubt I will ever test bitcomet due to the things one hears about it, great download speeds due to semi exploits, but I don't really need more speed on a 8/1 adsl)).

I found out a way to install GCJ in win32 platforms. I never tried this in win64 but if you're using AMD64, then i dont think GCV will fail to execute instructions directly to the processor.

Since GCC is originally desgined for Unix like systems. You need to do a little porting for Windows. To use GCJ, of course you want a runtime that will not use the Windows Framework since it uses crap load of memory as well. The alternative is to port GCC. And also i dont know if the GCJ will compile without the GCC alongside.

I found a nice tool whilst playing with Windows(I'm a Linux user, so it took me a while to look for this) that will help you compile binaries that run native Unix codes for Windows.

Look here : http://www.cygwin.com/

Though you might think it's too technical, it as basic as you are using a Linux machine. The only problem you'll be having is how to get different source codes to compile since the tool I posted above is not as near as an Updated Linux that'll run most Unix binaries.

After getting that tool, you can then install GCJ(GNU Compiler for Java) here: http://gcc.gnu.org/java/ the site also offers binary packages.

While using the GCJ instead of the Java Virtual Machine, you can save roughly 40% of the memory used by JVM when running Java coded apps like Azureus.
