System Properties

System Properties are set by using the -D= JVM command line parameters. Since 4101_B23 you can use 'biglybt.' in place of 'azureus.' in property names.

Some of the more useful ones are

  • azureus.config.path: string - folder where BiglyBT configuration data is stored
  • azureus.instance.port: integer - port used to communicate between instances
  • MULTI_INSTANCE: boolean - allows multiple instances of BiglyBT to run when set to true

Running Multiple BiglyBT instances

On Windows copy everything from wherever BiglyBT is installed (e.g. C:\Program Files\BiglyBT) into a separate folder - say "C:\BiglyBT2"

Then create a .bat file in this folder (say run.bat) with contents

java -cp "BiglyBT.jar;commons-cli.jar;swt.jar" -Djava.library.path=C:\BiglyBT2 -Duser.dir=C:\BiglyBT2 -Dazureus.config.path=C:\BiglyBT2 -DMULTI_INSTANCE=true com.biglybt.ui.Main

and run this.
