blahblahblah0 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I use QoS on my router(It's not port based, it scans traffic to determine what is what regardless of ports) and I don't like BitTorrent traffic getting past it with encryption. Is there some way I can prevent peers from connecting to me with encryption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 In µTorrent, encryption can only be disabled for outgoing traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blahblahblah0 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 From what I understand disabling encryption only disables it for connections you initiate but others can still initiate encrypted connections. I'm seeding to some peers with encryption. I don't see why this has to be forced upon us. Bram Cohen doesn't even seem to like encryption. I'd use another client but a private tracker I use limits the amount of clients you can use and the only one without encryption on their list is BitTornado but I don't like that client.

Ultima Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 This client never was about what Bram Cohen liked or disliked. And yeah, outgoing connections are connections you initiate. Why isn't the ability to disable PE included? I don't know, but I recall a LOT of users getting confused when the betas including Protocol Encryption were first released. I'm not sure if (and I doubt that) that was the reason it was removed, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blahblahblah0 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 If disabling encryption disables it for all my outgoing traffic why am I seeding to some peers with the capital E flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Because outgoing isn't the same as incoming. You're asking how one might disable outgoing connections and incoming connections. We're telling you that there IS no way to block incoming encrypted connections in µTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Unless you're firewalled, and thus getting NO incoming connections at all...encrypted or otherwise.But then your speeds will really suffer.Alot of people need encryption to get BitTorrent to work with any rate of speed...or even at all!That's why disabled means only for your outgoing connections, while incoming connections can still occassionally be ecrypted.
