madhouserevival Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I've searched the forum as well as google, and there is nothing explaining clearly what the number means. The default setting is 128. Not sure what it means to begin with. What does the number represent. Thanks ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madhouserevival Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I downloaded the help file from another site and it was corrupt. Thanks for the working help file. Very informative.Anyway, I don't understand some of the lingo. "The lowest acceptable ratio of good to bad pieces a peer can send before it gets banned. " So if I'm getting a LOT of bad peers, it at least appears that I should lower the number (default 128) rather than raise it, and if so, in what increments? Thanks again.

Ultima Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yes, lowering it will make µTorrent less tolerant. You can input whatever non-negative integer you'd like there, so I guess the increment would be 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhouserevival Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Didn't have internet for the last month, so I'm glad to see this was answered for me. I've set it to 64. If you think that's a bad idea, let me know! Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 As far as I understand it:If a peer sends more then bt.ban_threshold bad pieces (pieces that fail hash-check) it will be banned. However if bt.use_ban_ratio is enabled it will first check if bad pieces / good pieces is more then bt.ban_ratio before banning it (if good pieces is 0 I'm sure it'll ban).So if someone sent you 1 good piece and 100 bad pieces he will not get banned. If he sends another 28 bad pieces (without sending any good ones) he'll get banned. If you don't care about this check you can always disable bt.use_ban_ratio.This is a safety measure to ensure that people don't get banned if amidst the bad pieces they are sending they also send a 'decent' amount of good pieces.
