I often get the error about Unkown tracker protocol UDP or whatever, but then after a while it connects and downloads anyway. Why is that?

  i think G3 does work with UDP, yet when spooled as another client, the tracker says it won't work... when it will

  I think it might have something to do with spoofing as Azureus as this client supports the both the TCP and UDP protocols. It might be the tracker just sending out a warning when it detects Azureus just in case it is running the UDP protocol. The tracker then carries on communicating with TCP which is the protocol that g3 uses. Thats the best guess I can give you...
