BitTorrent may be good for the rest of the planet , however , the copyright ****'s , aka Hollywood , have the ISP's in the USA monitoring the ports that application uses and some outright block them.
Also , as I am part of a College staff Desktop Support Department , BitTorrent ports are disabled and anything doing with that format is blocked. Most businesses do that as well.
Just an FYI as you think about moving forward with this.

You know what would be cool? A unified launcher for TQ, SiSi, Duality, and Buckingham. Just select the server and go.
Have an option to check the validity of your current install for that server and, if necessary, fix/update it. Or even remove it.
Balls on beautiful . . . . . and the client PC should be able to edit the location of the ".exe" for that server if it is installed.
Or maybe the launcher could assist with that ( aka: Download Assistant ) |

Oh and as mentioned by earlier posts , if this opens my PC via the downloader to other systems , no thank you.
I believe someone else mentioned how to set the torrent to draw from CCP locations only , as long as there isn't a way to spoof those , sure.

If I cant disable it completely and download from EVE servers, well this is where we are gonna part ways after all these years. Can you elaborate on why you don't want to be part of it. We can't account for this response if it's just "because".
My Posts earlier may be of help. . .

I also included another showing AT&T out there monitoring the Torrent ports as part of the idiotic plan by the "thought Police" to "prevent" piracy of copyrighted materials.

1) Security. IP being able to be known by others
Not an issue at all. Generally speaking, without the other side knowing your IP, the Net would be a boring place... I think you misunderstand. As stated a few posts above someone could find out your ip thru P2P and then flood you rendering your connection basically useless. Maybe that is extreme, but it is certainly an issue. You know, if you have absolutely no knowledge of how a network works and network security, you just shouldn't speak of it. Otherwise you appear as a superstitious medieval peasant speaking of technology...
What he speaks of (BigDaddy) is technically plausible Hosenda, however, who is going to spend the time and effort to do that for a single resident user. Highly unlikely. |

I know that CCP does not officially support Linux anymore, but a lot of Linux users run Eve under Wine, myself included. For the most part it works pretty well.
As you're probably aware, updates are a nuisance due to the need to run winecfg and switch the builtin|native Wine settings for the MSVCRT (Visual C++ Runtime) during the patch process. This often results in the need to download and run the full installer. That ain't quick or convenient.
I saw that the updater was being rewritten to work more smoothly and I hope that you'll consider making the Linux via Wine experience more convenient. The number of Linux players of Eve is probably under-reported because most of us run via Wine or Virtualbox but in any case is probably a tiny fraction of your userbase. Even so, I hope you'll take us into consideration with the rewrite.
Although I have not taken the time to do a Linux toy box yet. I would like to be able to know that my favorite toy, Eve, works well in it too. |
