In contrast, global upload rate limitting algorithm has  been changed to improve fairness.  Furthermore, crawler module now supports user-defined filter  so that new tracker sites can be added manually. This version  also fully handles cookie taken from new commands, wget and  wpost, and old commands, add and meta. For more convenience, scrape command has been added to help  testing given torrent.  For one who wants to know peers, ip2cc database has been  updated with routing policy provied by rddb. You will get its  description instead of just netname.  To increase comfortability, BTQueue now provides daemon  mode and remote control mode so that you do not need "screen" to run it on unix server anymore.
