Eva.02: really? Mine has stayed green as soon as I started µTorrent, still is green. :/

Thanks Mugros, for updating the flags.bmp image.

Well that settles it then. Use your favorite BitTorrent client so we can go on with our lives.

peterpaulw: if you paranoid freaks can't trust Ludde's word, then don't use µTorrent, thank you very much. Now leave this community alone. :/

trimaster: you're my new hero. Thank you sooo much for saying that.

Looks like the paranoid squad is pretty active these days...I wonder what they do all day... :/

Duval: that's great! Enjoy µTorrent. tCm: well I'm certainly not a network wizz... but you can restore it by going to File ▶ Restore backed up settings (choose the back-up file), and doing the same with Restore Windows Default settings (choose the other back-up file).

Technarch is right, shapes are important. We have at least 2 people on these forums who are color-blind, and there are probably many more. :| Edit: typo.

ev0|: Relax. :| Nobody is telling Ludde to hurry up his development process - damn straight -, so I don't see why you should either. It'll be out when it's out. Patience! :/

Try reading the FAQ, please? It's there for a reason... :| http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#What_does_Wasted_and_hashfails_mean.3F

Sure. If you made a back-up of the .reg file (which is generated when you run TCP Optimizer), just double-click it to restore the values. I believe the program itself has an option to "Restore Defaults", IINM, but since I don't have the program in front of me, I can't say exactly where it is.

Stop asking when it's going to be released, please. :/ Ludde doesn't need any pressure, I'm sure he has a stressful enough job as it is.

Infirmus: that's been there since the beginning. Boo: and the volume was halved by 50%! You should've heard the first ones, those really killed your ears...

Agreed. Plus you can customize them if you really can't stand it... :/

It means he switched the default theme to something much better-looking.

MietmaN: Ahaha...that'd be one hell of a deal!

That's affirmative.

Since the beginning. :| And that was the correct term (nodes), Ludde just never got around to change it. :/

Osmosis: join the club! :/ http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=157605

Awesome! :cool: Glad it worked!

Indeed. It seems the hashfails are killing people here...

'Cause it's in my God damn way, that's why! Luckily, it can be turned off. Sweet. :cool:

User77: if you mean the one built into µTorrent, then yes, I believe so (never tried it myself though). Make sure you don't have anything downloading/uploading in the background, otherwise that can skew the results of the test. dr_Prozac: That's affirmative. And it's really the reason for our (relatively) low download speeds. The more you can give (upload), the more you can expect (download). This is the beauty of BitTorrent. Which is why I've been arguing with my ISP to provide a 512/256 kb/s package (instead of my current 640/128 kb/s "deal") for those of us who use BitTorrent heavily. They said "we'll look into it"...I'll see what comes out of it. :/ Anyway, if everyone, and I mean everyone, got on the phone with their ISP, complained about their slow upload speeds (let them know about the huge disproportional ratio of your download speeds), and asked for a better deal - maybe even take a lesser download speed for greater upload speed - I believe that sooner or later someone is going to listen to all those complaints and do something about it. Of course, if you rarely use BitTorrent this may not apply to you, but then again, you wouldn't be reading this on this site, would ya?!

Indeed, MietmaN, I totally agree with your suggestions. :cool:

OK, I understand. Well, one idea has just occurred to me now. We can make something like the statistics. We can observe and monitor what is the average ratio between all and well-seeded swarms. I think it is fairly recurrent in a net. We can make several tests to find the best value. Then we will be able to create a better formula. For example: (after all our tests) the ratio is 10% (10 well-seeded for 100 peers) So the formula for the Maximum number of connected peers per torrent would be: MNOCPPT = (10 * all peers) / 100 Of course we also have to include all seeds as the Maximum number of connected peers per torrent is related not only to peers. It refers to seeds + peers. We can also modify this value and make it dependent on the max. upload speed. Do you think it is possible to find such a formula ? ... It may be possible, but math is really not one of my strong skills...so I'm clearly not the best person for that job. :| In addition, there are other fairly important variables that will skew the formula's results. Swarms, for instance, are very dynamic in nature. It's incredibly rare that you'll find a swarm that more or less stays roughly the same size and maintains the same seed to peer ratio. You have to take into the equation the relative speed of the whole swarm (this on its own is difficult to establish - if not impossible), the seed to peer ratio as mentioned previously (which constantly changes in most swarms) etc. etc. etc. Plus, you have to deal with the fact that if suddenly the swarm halves in size (maybe a tracker has gone down and xx.x% of peers do not have DHT/PeX enabled), BitTorrent users are going to have to change their formula to reflect this unexpected change, if they want to keep the most optimized settings for that particular torrent. IMHO, the enormous task of finding this formula, either through probability or accurately computing values based on seed to peer ratio and things like that, is really way beyond my scope. Don't get me wrong, I like your idea, but in practice I'm not so certain it'll yield the same satisfactory results as in theory. That's my 0.03¢ (damn inflation).
