What's the best version of Azureus for Win98SE?
I was trying to reinstall Baldur's Gate after a MOD conflict when I
accidentally clicked on Azureus and uninstalled it instead. I found that Azureus has now become Vuze and seems to no longer support Win9X. I like to sic my obsolete computer on doing things like running Bittorrent or burning CDs so it doesn't tie up resources on my modern computer when possible; so I'd like to reinstall Azureus. What was the best version to install on Windows 98SE, as it's obvious the updater wasn't working as I hadn't updated it in at least two years. I do know it had been updated since it was installed, so my old installer that I saved on a CD is obsolete. Also, where can I find the appropriate download link for said version? Alternately, what would be the best bitorrent application to install on my old Windows 98SE computer? |

I suppose that would be more of your own *personal determination* than the actual program. Just as it is for any other application where someone might like one particular version over a newer or older one, just because they don't like the interface change, or some change in menu, or other like activities.

File sharing and internet == network. Okay, reasonable explanation... definitely a network when peered to others using Azureus/Tor activities. Then again, that would make ANY activity done out here networking, which it is. That far reaching understanding usually escapes most people. * * * Unless the laws have changed, I was taught long ago that I'm allowed to make a backup copy of my game disks.

It's paid off on several occasions. Yep, always best to have some form of usable backup of your purchased software. Also nice to have a backup of your purchased movies as well, which I have always, personally, taken issue with when copy protections preclude making a copy of the purchased CD/DVD. Then again, there are other methods/work-arounds for that potential issue which are beyond the extent and scope of this Networking Forum. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org/ref/windows-main.htm Windows Info, Diagnostics, Security, Networking http://peoplescounsel.org The "real world" of Law, Justice, and Government ___--- |
