Seraph Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Could you add a filter based selective peer and seed connection?For example Connect only to peers with a percentage under x% or xKBconnect to only X amount of seedsDisconnect from peers with more than x% or xKB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayers Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Seraph, the bittorrent protocol selects connections to peers based on interest and choke flags. To do anything different is to build a different protocol. And that is not something a single client can accomplish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraph Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hrm then wtf did my friend do to bit tornado... She is a friggin genious when it comes to programming some how she figure out how she has selective connections so she only connects to 10 seeds at most and peers with less than 30%. heh...

What are you and your friend trying to accomplish? I'm sure there are a dozen ways to hack a bittorrent client to achieve better performance. But how does that affect others? Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_efficient, if your idea is a pareto optimization then take it up to Brahm Cohen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraph Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 well she just said it was faster. She has retired coding because she wants to do something else. It has to do something with when seeding some clients restrict speeds so she selects lower % clients so she is connected longer and also has a better upload speed with them because they need more parts. though this theory only works well when there are 100+ seeders and leechers. because below 100 you connect to almost all of them anyway.

ColdArmor Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 What the hell... I would think you would want to connect to people under 30% to get them the file faster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I think this feature is a bad one because =1. new peers can have a problem to download2. Those that you have specified that you want to download from, they maybe doesn't have those pieces that you need :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appeldorff Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I think it's a good idea.. I'm downloading a torrent and all the peers are giving me bad pieces.. I think it would be great if i could connect to seeds only and ppl below 50% (to help my UL rate) so i wouldn't get corrupt pieces all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
