da chicken Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 According to ludde, µTorrent 1.2.1 refuses to load torrents with more than 65535 pieces. Tell the torrent maker to not be retarded and use a proper piece size!I'm not sure why supporting the .torrent standard as the rest of the world does is considered a bad thing. I should not find that I cannot use a given .torrent just because I'm using µTorrent instead of Bram's client or Azureus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledgeDG Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 @boo: just multiply the biggest supported block-size with 65535..that's about 268GB..quite enough room for further improvement in netspeed, don't you think? @da chicken: you mean to tell me that Bram coded his client with 32 bit precision, just to be safe from some retards who are too stupid to pick a decent block size??? you got to be kidding me-DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 No, setting the piece size too low is the unstandard thing, it's actually completely retarded to use such a low piece size. It INCREASES overhead and makes everything slower when you use a piece size that's too low and end up with more pieces than you should have...

da chicken Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 @SledgeDG: I've never tried it, since I've never found anybody stupid enough to make a .torrent that way. I'm just saying that if they do support it, it would be best to follow suit. Especially on Bram's client. It should be easy enough to check Azureus's code and see if they support it.
