rockinrobstar Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I wrote this ages ago and only just relized that KTorrent has done something very similar recently. http://www.ether.net.au/~robin/bittorrent_zeroconf_ext.rtfFeedback would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

DreadWingKnight Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 You mean that platform-independent UPnP isn't enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon4 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 You mean that platform-independent UPnP isn't enough?If by that you are implying that "platform-independent UPnP" actually WORKS worth a shit, then wow, you are so, completely, and totally OFF.If MS's shitty UPnP implementation can work properly in 1.5, why can't the hand coded, platform-independent shit work right in 1.6 and above? I'm still having to manually set the port forwardings in my router, and when the network interfaces and MAC addresses on the computers keep jumping around, that becomes a pain in the ASS to maintain!One of two things really needs to be used in uT. Either this zeroconf thing (which hell, I honestly don't even know what it does, or how it works) - or a working UPnP implementation. Right now it's just bogus. Ludde really should have coded a fallback into it - or at LEAST more verbose error messages than "unable to map upnp port" (it gave real errors in 1.5 and earlier... wtf?) - when he had a chance.Yes, this UPnP thing chaps my ass. TWO routers, out of the TWO I've tested, don't work with this shitty UPnP system. Countless others while I wander around various wireless networks do the same thing. In fact, I don't even know what it says when it DOES work... does it say anything at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 As if those alternatives have any wider support.Bonjour (formerly Rendezvous), as far as I've seen is currently only supported for port forwarding with Apple brand routers.You may be 2 for 2 with not working, but I'm 3 for 3 with working.Linksys WRT54G v5 with Linksys official firmware.Linksys WRT54GL with HyperWRT ThiborDLink DI-624 with DLink official firmware.Is it your fault that UPnP doesn't work for you?NoIs it Ludde's fault that UPnP doesn't work for you?NoIs it the router manufacturer's fault that UPnP doesn't work for you?Yes.

Ultima Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 If MS's shitty UPnP implementation can work properly in 1.5, why can't the hand coded, platform-independent shit work right in 1.6 and aboveYou have to realize that people can argue the same thing about MS's implementation not working, but ludde's working. It's a hit and miss, and I personally blame it on the UPnP Forum for not making everything more standardized than it currently is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 1.7 is likely going to have the XP UPnP as a fallback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 It's been a long time coming now... and was something I was suggesting from when ludde first added his custom implementation of UPnP Good to hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 The only reason ludde didn't do it himself is 'cause he stopped developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xipax Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 ktorrent support zeroconf since release 2.1.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 µTorrent 1.7 already supports NAT-PMP, which Zeroconf uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
