tlb Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Is there a way to delete any peers that look suspicious? Especially, those those display [FAKE] utorrent and so forth. Thanks... tlb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 "look suspicious" isn't a good enough metric to warrant removal. And not easily for precisely that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlb Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 So, the only way to remove "suspicious" or bad file peers is to let them get removed because of said activities. I can see how this could lead to peer wars if allowed to delete peers indiscriminately. At least I can dump trackers that are suspicious, such as those interlopers who are browsing for their respective corporations. Sometimes you can catch them periodically. That said, I wonder how much overhead is being used with these 0.0 % peers that are living vicariously off our downloads? Maybe about the same as those sending bad blocks and reaching ban mode? I know P2P is not perfect and never will be. I should be happy with the current fare... tlb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
