Off By One

That’s an outstanding request; I’ll look at it eventually, but it’s a ways off. Work is keeping me pretty slammed these days. Thank you for the interest, please be patient and I’ll get around to it, I promise!

http://www.offby1.net/?dl=autostop-2.0.beta.3.zip link is dead

Auto Categorizer not saving - I have the same issues the guys above have. When I restart, all of my categories are gone.

Found another link http://azureus.sourceforge.net/plugin_details.php?plugin=autostop

Hi Chris

Thanks for this plugin, it’s solved one of Azureus’s few issues; how to seed different types of torrents to different ratios.

I would echo Ambrose and Hal to some extent. I’ve found the right-click per torrent settings, but I’m mystified by the “Autostop Criteria” tab. What does it do, and how can I interact with it? Clicking on the Plus button does nothing.

Other than that, I’m pleased and grateful!

Outstanding plugin concept, well done Chris. Implementation needs some polish but generally I think you have most of what you need in place - keep it simple and focused = good plugin. Here’s my suggestions:

1) add some simple instructions to readme - ie. *tools->options to enable and change global ratio *right click individual torrent to do per torrent settings

2) allow more ratios for the global setting - currently only 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 5.0, whereas for individual you can enter a custom value.

3) seems that everyone that use this first goes to Tools->Plugins->Autostop which brings up a spreadsheet that absolutely nothing. Remove this from the user experience.

Otherwise well done.

Actually, this isn’t working for me.

I’ve set the global ratio to 1.0, and individual ratios above that, but they are stopping at 1.0, with a Seeding Rank of “Share Ratio OK”.

If I raise the ratio under Queue>Seeding>Ignore Rules, torrents which do have a ratio limit of 1.0 start seeding, despite Autostop’s global ratio telling them they’ve reached their target.

I’m on Vuze 3.1.1.0 on Java 1.6 on Unbuntu 8.04; any help gratefully received.

I don’t really understand how to use this plugin…I have the fields filled out like so: Host: talk.google.com Port: 5222 Name: myemailaddress@gmail.com (is this right?)

User Name: myemailaddress@gmail.com (?) Resource Name: windows_computer Password: mypassword

In the log it says: Unable to perform initial connection to the Jabber service. XMPPError connecting to talk.google.com:5222.

So I’m guessing one of those fields is wrong.

Google is not full-featured jabber server. Read many jabber clients FAQs - there are special description how o connect to GTalk, which features to suspend and which to enforce.

For example, jabber server should support multiple connections with different programs/computers into the single login/password. Can you connect to the same GTalk from two computers at the same time ? If you cannot, AzJabber would seems fail too.

azjabber does, however, work with gmail; it’s gmail that I use it for. Colin, here’s the settings that work:

Host: talk.google.com Port: 5222 Name: gmail.com

User name: Resource name: anything at all Password: I can’t tell you that

I admit to being an idiot, but could someone please give me an example of a rule for Auto Categorizer? All I want to do is have torrents categorized based on tracker URL. I’m entering the domain as the tracker URL, and it’s not working.

I’m having the same issues - for some reason it’s managed to save just one category, but after a restart, all others are gone.

never fucking mind, i figured it out. what a pain in the ass.

So the download link is still broken and unfortunately the link:

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/plugin_details.php?plugin=autostop

is two version old and missing the plugin.properties file again. Is there any way to get the most recent beta with the proper properties file?

Heh. A little poking around helps. I noticed the plugin link was broken but based on the other links I guessed:

http://www.offby1.net/plugins/

and lo and behold a directory listing of all plugin versions. However I’m still confused about two things.

First I would have thought that the beta3 was most recent. However it (and the other betas) are all 28 kB. However the one at sourceforge is 36 kB; although the betas are more recently dated.

Also there is still no sign of the plugin.properties file. I am no Azureus plugin expert but something seems missing since the only option on the plugin page are enable and detailed logging which seem sort of like defaults. Where is this file and don’t I need it?

@Colin

In Host configuration Name must be gmail.com and in client configuration “username” is your gmail username, but you don’t have to put “@gmail.com”, for me these settings work well.

Well, it’s still on my livejournal feed. So I, at least, still see it. Ha!

That, and as said prior, good luck.

I’m here, too. congratulations! Hi to your future offspring from me, too

hind sight makes some things sound much different.

Well lad-di-da. I wasn’t expecting this. Paint me tickled! (just go with it. I think by now we all know I like it random and nonsequiturial and that’s just how it’s gonna be)

I love that you are starting this up and in the form of a journal and outlet.

I read this!

Frequent reader who infrequently comments. Feed me weird things, and who knows what’ll come out of me once I’ve digested it.

That was unintentionally scatological, I swear.

Long story short: post. Whether I reply or no, I have read your writings.

I’m still here way in the distance, I may have not looked for a bit but will now.

that was fast!

I think how this is all falling into place is quite impressive. It is impressing upon me how I have watched you relationship evolve in a lovely fashion (and I have only seen near 3 yrs of it) and how gracefully you both have been handling the swiftness of it all. What does it say about me that it freaks me out at the same time? Oh right, that I am holding onto my selfish lifestyle quite happily and afraid my grip may be tenuous.

So, not much socializing yet outside of work? You’d have picked up more words I think. What are the women like? We, and Edmonchuk, got some snow since you left, actually a fair bit here.

change is good

/\ is what I meant

gir. it’s not working. you can erase these if you want.

If it makes it sound any better, all our friends with kids really stressed how much our lives would change when the wee one arrived but I wouldn’t say it’s to our detriment. I think we get to see our firends more often now that we have Sophie. This is especially true for me, as I am no longer working 70-80 hours per week.

Congratulations Chris and Char and I am very happy that you have restarted this site. I like to keep up with what everyone is up to

It breaks my heart to know this part of you is over, I wish it wouldn’t have worked out like this. Hey, You’re way in front of me on the numbers. I think it is great that you did get to fly over Brazil.

I am with Moi on this one. I know what it meant to you and the fact that you couldn’t get into it with me when it was fresh I understood meant it was pretty emotional. More reason to have coffee Tuesday evening. Let’s dish about you.

It’s a nice place. I can’t wait to see you guys settled in.

How’s the unpacking going?

A shout out echo. You two made it easier on us being uber organized and ready for us. Forking over $150 in beer was a nice touch as well. I can’t wait to warm you house!!!

Oh my god, you’re right. Anyone who’s watched that movie would have quite a different response to that ad than Telus expects, I’m sure. It’s powerful music, just not in the way they want it to be.

Good lord. Even knowing what that was going to be didn’t prepare me for that.

I don’t know. I like it, and I have a pretty visceral reaction to the song. Sadly, I think Telus did a good job reinventing that. Makes me want a smart phone.

I’ll use the obvious analogy, here:

You want some dope who graduated PhD in Agriculture to irrigate your crops with Gatorade, cause it quenches all thirst? He tried really, really hard in school ….. :/

You want some guy to have to try really really hard to remember a differential diagnosis on your dying mom when he only has 10 minutes to administer treatment or her stroke will permanently ruin her brain?

I didn’t think so.

Yeah, there is more to it than effort, for sure. I really don’t like that this “self-esteem” grading is going on in elementary schools, but to hear that some people think it should be happening in post-secondary education too, gross. In hindsight I guess I shouldn’t be that surprised, those kids who got graded “W” for Wonderful will eventually get to college age.

Damn right you’ll teach your kids a mere sense of entitlement is not what will get you by alone. If your kid’s generation could be the first one in a while that starts to purge this sense of entitlement that has been going on that would be great.

also… this wraps is up http://mwkworks.com/lifesnotfair.html

I always liked Maligne then frozen although I never saw it that often. Char told me a bit about you going up there. Talk to you when you get home, moi

when are you going to post again? I miss you
