grzesiek Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Will be any new version maybe with nat traversal in this year? Because last version was released half year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 and will the new version be developed by the buyers aka bittorrent itself or the original developer or together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 As is said many times before and can be found in the FAQ:Ludde won't be working on the code anymore. He'll stay in the capacity of a Technical Adviser, not a developer. It isn't completely clear when and if the client will be developed further, when a new version will be available and which functions and adjustments are considered. In short, nothing is know for sure and no promises are made. The new developers haven't shown themselves on this forum that much and an answer from them should not be expected. I suspect from experience here that they won't respond to prods for further answers.On a personal note I don't think NAT transversal is planned since Port Mapping allows full functionality of utorrent and is a lot safer from a security point of view. And although Port Mapping can be difficult for inexperienced users it is available to pretty much all utorrent users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grzesiek Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Many people like me can't do Port Mapping becouse admins don't want to do this, so only solution is NAT Traversal. I have read somewhere on this forum some time ago that NAT traversal is priority feature for next version, but if will be as you said that sucks.

Lord Alderaan Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 NAT Transversal isn't easy, isn't standardized, it has a lot of different implementations and solutions and isn't easy to code from the start on up. The better methods require one or more servers on the internet to help determine certain things. Even if it was a priority feature it would be a lot of work and probably isn't gonna be the first thing developers new to the code are gonna try.I know a lot of people 'can't' port map (although its still a small portion of the total user base). But the problem in most of those cases is that you are not allowed to, not because you can't. There is a fat chance if utorrent implements NAT Transversal it'll just get totally blocked/banned from the major networks (universities for instance). I'm not saying this is a reason not to do it. I'm saying you might not be helped in the end after all.Its a miracle that Google Talk isn't blocked/banned for its NAT Transversal. I guess because it doesn't generate too much traffic and they aren't used for illegitimate means they don't really mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grzesiek Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 BitComet and BitSpirit have NAT Traversal and i think there are no problems with this, i know is not to easy to do but if this bittorrent clients can implement NAT Traversal i think uTorent can do this too.

Lord Alderaan Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 You're right. BitComet does have NAT Transversal and seems to work in a lot of cases.But I still don't expect to see it in µtorrent soon for all the other reasons I mentioned above.
