What torrent client should I use?
-
@Kevin4fm
I will try it out tomorrow, it's getting quite late for me, sorry! -
@Aestet No problem. It's actually late for me too. I'm GMT+1. You?
-
@Kevin4fm UTC +1
-
@Aestet LOL. OK. Either I'm older than you or more British than you! Why mess about with perfectly good letters!?
-
@Kevin4fm I think you're both older than me, and more British, since I am not British!!
-
Aestet said:
I am not British!!
I actually am not utc+1, but technically we're utc+2, but IDGAF!! I hate the daylight saving thing it's so annoying having to wake up earlier....
-
Anyway, I'm trying without vpn, and now it's working
-
@Aestet Understood. Main thing is we're likely to be awake at similar times as we're in similar timezones.
Any change to your qB status? Or is it as we left it?
-
-
It is the same as we left it, except that the helix thing you told me to download is now downloading!
-
@Kevin4fm I use McAfee, the settings page doesn't seem very helpful
-
@Aestet OK. Let me go do a bi of research / familiarisation over at McAfee';s website. BRB.
-
OK. I've just had a quick chat with McAfee's AI assistant:
I suggest you go chat with it directly, to see if it can walk you through how to set things up for your particular needs. https://www.mcafee.com/support/s/?language=en_US should take you there. If not, simply go to McAfee's homepage and select "Contact Us" under "Support".
-
If it starts asking you questions you're unsure about, or things seem odd, feel free to come back here and I'll try to help.
-
Sorry, I cut off the last part of its last reply, which contains some useful info / questions:
-
Alright, I'll try that now!
Quick question, when I opened the program this morning, everything was small, and it still is. Can I fix this?
-
@Aestet Small as in text size? Yeah, mine's a bit small too, though I have a lot of columns displayed so that suits me. I'll go do a little research on that while you're looking into qB and McAfee playing nicely together.
-
okay, so, the ai told me to look at split tunneling,
Will this just not be the same as not using it, tho?
-
@Aestet Yes. You definitely DON'T want split tunnelling. Or at least, you don't want qB outside of it. It is, as you say, the same as not using it.
You'd use split tunnelling where you specifically don't want something to go through the VPN. Some websites won't accept VPN traffic, so you can have one browser that uses split tunnelling that you use specifically to access those websites.
For now, so as not to confuse things, I'#d just say "forget split tunnelling". One thing that might be worth trying, which the AI did mention to me, is changing the server location. I was chatting to someone using Torguard's VPN, and that wouldn't allow torrenting on US servers. When he changed it to one in Canada, it started straight away.
-
@Kevin4fm ah! That might be it! I'll try using Canada!
