Klaus_1250 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Limewire is currently working on adding BT-support to their client, next to the Gnutella-protocol. I was reading a wiki-doc on how they are planning to integrate the multi-network approach, but it didn't make me really happy:http://limewire.org/wiki/index.php?title=UploadSlotsAndBTWhat does the average uTorrent-user think of this?

Game90 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 apparently they dont understand that BT isnt a centralised distribution system.and its tit-for-tat system is one of the main reasons why its so successful, much better than limewire or kazaa.

Klaus_1250 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I personally dislike the fact that they want to download from BT at the highest priority, but put uploading back (seeding) at the lowest priority (less important than uploading to Gnutella). That doesn't sound like a good neighbour to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game90 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 you mean this?"Seeding is important for the life of the torrent, but not as important as the download speed of a torrent or the quality of HTTP Uploads to other Gnutella clients. Therefore the seeding BT upload is queued." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus_1250 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Yep. IMHO is states that they will be skimming bandwidth and speed out of the BT-network and moving it to Gnutella. BT is, according to the docs, the most important when content is being leeched, but the least importent when they need to seed and seeding the content on Gnutella becomes more importent.Personally, I'm not interested in exchanging bandwidth with a party that may stop/delay seeding the moment they have the file complete if there is any demand from their own network. That takes out any momentum of a swarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 They should stick to their own shitty network and not be the worst BT client they can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
