**chicagobeers** · 03-10-2009, 20:22

why is s.t. taking over.
its so horrible.
anyone else agree? lets speak up! bring the ants back!
what problems do you notice or would like to change?
too many for me to write here, so so many.

edit: huh, i read what everyone said. i downloaded s.t. several months ago when it first came out. is that why? should i erase and download again. has there been an updated version since the first one? maybe it is just me. sorry,didnt mean to upset anyone. keep up the good work.

TVAnts, the one with the ads and long loading times?

**55555** · 03-10-2009, 21:08

erm, ST is a million times better than tvants imo...

**anonymous_coward** · 03-10-2009, 21:45

Greetings,

If you guys are viewers the bottom line is you don't have
a say. The streamers will do as they please.

Did I really need to mention this? Is this thread some kind
of joke.

StreamTorrent over TVAnts anyday but thats just me. Sad thing is development has stopped for now with StreamTorrent.

My views exactly mate. ST is a much better platform than TV ants as it seems to be more forgiving with the upload speeds requirements and quality wise looks good. Its just a shame that it appears that they have stopped development. Their google group is like a ghost town. If possible they should release the source so that someone else capable can pick up the work.

sopcast all the way! to my knowledge streamtorrent doesnt support h264 neither does tvants

**brooklynjazz** · 04-10-2009, 02:58

sopcast and tvants were nice, but they are the past.

ST is better in most ways. Quality, load times, simple to use.

Let's keep moving away from the past, and to better things.

stream torrent > tv ants

**bythor** · 04-10-2009, 14:45

From my experience ST has horrible load times. I don't know if there is something wrong with it on my end but it always take minutes and minutes to buffer up the first time.

**wiininjas** · 04-10-2009, 19:45

sounds like an issue on your end. works fine for me. make sure you have the most current version. normally takes less then 30 seconds for a 500kb stream to load up and im only on a 6mbs down and 768kbs up. its the fastest connection available where i live. perhaps your firewall is slowing your connections? or if u use peerblock or peerguardian you should have those turned off as well. ive heard of tvants being vulnerable as well, the ability to install spyware and viruses through the ads.

and what? you didn´t even wrote one argument why tvants should be better then stream torrent, so imo you just trolling...

btw, i like both of them...

I like your jokes,chicagobeers...

**grtt** · 05-10-2009, 16:33

Well,

In my opinion StreamTorrent is an excellent peace of software, very fast and with superb picture quality. I don't know why some people keep having problems but I really do believe that it either because of their connection or because of the streamer, as I use the program mostly for British tv channels they all seem to load very quickly and in very good picture quality...

**Kendrick Perkins** · 05-10-2009, 23:06

preferences are not universal facts.

**bound2bmine** · 05-10-2009, 23:32

My 2 cents ST all the way. Or old reliable SopCast. Now question how does SopCast support H.264 no one has ever answered that for me.

**fezfezed** · 06-10-2009, 00:12

I think you can stream to sopcast using VLC with the h.264 codec, but this does not work with ST/ TVANTS

That i know but you need VLC to watch as well so how does SopCast support it then? I know this is ST section.

This weekend it's England v Ukraine, we don't know in advance where the best stream will be. But I bet no matter which is your favourite program, be it Stream Torrent, TVAnts, Sopcast, TVU etc.. you'll have the full armoury of programs installed. Fact is, you need to have them all.
