I'd like to find in the package manager torrent client Tribler

Tribler
Re: Tribler
Which clients perform research, such as Tribler?
Re: Tribler
What do you mean research? Research is what scientists do, not what a torrent client does.
Re: Tribler
I meant to search among the many available torrent files.
Re: Tribler
Looked interesting,tried building it, gave up!
Building the Tribler package itself wasn't much of a problem, just a repackaging of the Debian package a la Arch AUR. It packaged and installed without problems, but needed some dependencies to run. One is apsw which is not available either by slapt-get or slapt-src. Tried building it but it requires SQlite 3.7.10 or higher. That's where I gave up.
You could try to run the Windows binary under wine. It seems work, but I'm no expert in file sharing.

Re: Tribler
O.K. It is not important that both Tribler.
There is another who does the research?

Hey, see this article: http://torrentfreak.com/tribler-makes-b ... wn-120208/ Tribler has researchers
Re: Tribler
Looks like an interesting project. But from the sound of the article, it seems as though you can only share with peers who are also using the app. If I'm right about that, it'd be a major drawback - so much so I think I must have misunderstood. I mean the part about the "superpeers" distributing lists of active downloaders.
Re: Tribler
No, it implements the bittorrent protocol like any other file sharing client. Just on top or more like next to it some other protocol is implemented that allows for searching, trackerless peer discovery, ... So you can leach from and seed to any other user of a client that implements the bittorrent protocol. Only the search, discovery, ... functionality won't be available to the other clients. Not exactly unexpected either as it's not part of the bittorent protocol.
Imagine you want to join some secret and private group. Members of the group share their contact data among each other. But being not yet part you're lacking that data and so can't get in. To initially get into the group/network, you need some starting point. Those superpeers are members whose contact data is publicly disclosed and if you want to join the group you get other contact data (Peers) from them. Again unrelated to bittorrent compatibility, just an extension.mimosa wrote:I mean the part about the "superpeers" distributing lists of active downloaders.
