  1. µTorrent 1.4.2 beta 435

    in Announcements

    Posted

    I downloaded several torrents last night, and got 6 hashfails on one, 0 on the rest. And these were just last night, since b427 came out I've downloaded several others and got very few or no hashfails.

    I don't think there's any bug (I have PE on and coalesce writes on), I think you guys are just on crappy torrents. :P Or there's screwed up peers on them.

    Why don't you try some DLing from a public tracker (I know u don't like it...) . You might find that more people there, and more peers (~3000-4000 for some torrents). SO the chance to get stuff from a peer with a buggy version (?) is bigger there.

    I'm just interested in speedy downloads. Hush fails - slow things down. *IF* they are due to a bug - my interest is to fix this bug. If not - we can live with that. It looks like there were reports of increasing fails lately, and we are talking beta AND a new protocol implementation (PE). It is best to get rid of such bug ASAP (before it spreads! ...)

    I believe it all comes from one peer.

    I believe that it may come from many peers

    And back to the hash-fail problem -

    My guess is that it has to do with the new the Protocol Header Encryption . I tried to disable it - and it seemed to almost totally eliminate the hash-fails !!!

    I suggest that you guys, do the same and report back here.

    My theory is - that one of the Az or uT versions (either the current ones or an older one, like uT B426...) might be causing the problem. So, even if YOU are OK, you may be effected by the other side.

    So, help the swarm and report back!!!

    ...Rarest first is intended to increase piece distribution and while it does so, it increases trading between peers....

    Martin, thanks for the good explanation! Let me ask your opinion , if I may, about another case:

    Let say I want to be able to pre-view a DLing file ASAP. Do you think it is possible to have a BT client try and download pieces (almost) sequentially ? or at least try and give priority to pieces "closer" to the beginning of the file ?

    As I said - nothing bad about it, except that it does not show/remind you of your filter , like good old Kazaa (bellow) may be it is possible to display it on the title like: [All-traffic] [Downloading] [Completed] and so on...

    Just an idea ...

    but i would love a close button and/or a button in the toolbar thou :)

    Two other options:

    1. Just drag the vertical divider to the leftmost position - should close it. Or like in Word's split screen - with the little vertical bar you can drag

    closed:

    opened:

    2. Get some ideas from the VERY nice one of Getright here:

    Closing it by simply draging the divider to the right:

    Firon mentioned that it does not default to "enable" PE (for outgoing). It is not clear about incoming. I might upgrade/install the new version and see...

    Edit:

    OK, a I understand it - in Azureus it is like this:

    OUTGOING -Encryption INCOMING

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Disabled/

    Default disabled (unless Enc. requested ) enabled (when requested)

    enabled** enabled* (unless Legacy requested) enabled* (when requested)

    notes:

    * by selecting "enable legacy..."

    ** you can also select either header encryption or full.

    You can also specifically NOT allow fall-back-to-legacy for input connections and/or also NOT allow initiating fall-back-legacy outgoing connections

    Description here:

    http://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/index.php/Avoid_traffic_shaping

    So, when I selected "forced PE" - the default Azureus 2.4 client supported my encryptions.

    Just to let you guys know, my latest RSS auto-download - the SG1 ep16 was done with Protocol Encription set to "forced" .

    It just happened that Azureus has also just released their new version - 2.4 that also supports "our" PE... I seems that B 421 was handling well ~ 200 peers as you can see in this screen-shot.

    So, now is a good time for guys that are being capped by their ISPs - to try and see if PE really helps them.

    I suggest to try first - pref->others->PE-outgoing="forced"

    And see if it helps

    If not - try also -

    pref->others->PE-incoming =disable "allow incoming legacy"

    ...and report back here... good luck!

    B 412:

    "Feature: Ctrl Up/Down to move up/down a torrent" - it does not seem to work...

    Seems to work fine here.

    I thought it was supposed to move the line up or down in the list, right ? or only the # in the DL queue ?

    Edit: some explanation:

    In my case - the list of torrents is a mixed one - DLing as well as some that were already downloaded. The up/down arrows - seems not to effect the downloaded ones, and cannot help in sorting this mixed list - as I would like to.

    We should have something for just moving lines around in the list!
