  1. Hi, and welcome, dr_Prozac. Not necessarily. If you can't maintain a decent upload to all (insert xxxxx of peers here) peers, then it's not advisible to set the Maximum number of connected peers per torrent as high as the Global maximum number of connections. In fact, uploading tiny amounts of data to lots of peers contributes negatively to the swarm as a whole. Even the FAQ doesn't recommend it, so I wouldn't do it. What does this value derive from ? Is it just found by experiments and test ? Yes, I experimented until I found the right value for me. Obviously, everyone's situation is different from mine, so consider the values I give only as a guide to help you in the right direction. Think of it like the wind blowing in one direction...only you can say what works best for you. I believe this is an interesting observation. If of course you get better speeds that way, then go ahead, use those numbers instead of mine. Just keep in mind that not all swarms are very well-seeded, and most of the time lower settings will do nicely as well. Though I should say that my settings are fairly conservative, but that is only to prevent people from uploading < 1 kB/s.
  2. Oh. Well you can still follow it manually, but it requires a bit more work. :|
  3. Encryption should benefit all shaped BitTorrent users, so yeah, Rogers users should see a big improvement once µTorrent and Azureus go stable.
  4. Hmm...looks like a melon to me...or a wasp's butt.
  5. Oh noes! Call the cops! 7 MB of RAM...OMGWTFBBQ!1!1!
  6. Although some ISP's are continuing to block P2P traffic, it appears I have some good news: Shaw, one of the nastiest ISP's when it comes to BitTorrent throttling, looks like it's powerless - for now at least - to stop the latest µTorrent builds (with Encryption enabled). This specific peer was maxed out the whole time (200 kB/s), which is a fairly rare occurrence by itself, let alone on a bastard ISP like Shaw. The Encryption scheme is working, so good job Ludde! :cool:
  7. Agreed. Now we still have how many more things to go, Ultima? Web GUI, Linux version...
  8. Hofshi: I thought Murdoc was referring to µTorrent. Nevermind my comment. :/
  9. That's good to know...enjoy µTorrent! P.S. I saw this on Digg, thanks!
  10. Tjobo: no, I hate it. Thank God it's not default. :/
  11. Well what other "usage statistic" do you propose? :|
  12. Agreed. BitVomit's dead, get over it. :/ Also, if you've been following any of the threads lately, you'd have noticed quite a few people have jumped on the PocketLinux torrent to test out their Encryption and discuss their findings. :|
  13. I do? Oh well, if you say so...what exactly did I do to rock though? Martin Levac: sorry I couldn't get to ya sooner Mister. Will post that crunched text in the mini-guide in just a bit.
  14. It looks like it has a "mask" on it or something...
  15. Ahaha...the top-right one looks like a mutated spiderman...
  16. Martin Levac: nice post, but do you want me to post all that? It's a bit too long and confusing...no offense - maybe it's just me. Can I get like a "crunched" version of the above, with only the most essential points?
  17. Some ISP's are using draconian methods to prevent people from using BitTorrent, like throttling down all ports other than 80, 21 etc (even when those ports aren't used for P2P traffic - they just slow them down regardless). Perhaps your ISP is using these same tactics? If so, you may have to change your port to one of the common ones, unfortunately... :/
  18. 1.) My bandwidth is still free. Indeed, I should be upping much more data to you than I'm doing right now. B.t.w., Build 421 is out. 2.) So do I. 3.) Sure, why not? I'm all for making µTorrent better...let's test the Encryption to hell and back. 4.) Interesting question. Well I don't know much about that either, so I guess Firon/DWKnight/Ludde will have to give us an explanation... :|
  19. Exactly. And I'm not even maxed out, there's at least 8~9 kB/s more I can pump out to you...I don't know why your/my client isn't aggressive enough. :/
  20. Don't ask for a release date, otherwise it'll be released even later. :| Patience!
  21. That's 'cause there's a lot of new things that have been added, and a lot of things that still need to be properly debugged. :/
