lyml Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Setting encryption mode to "Enabled" speeds up your downloads since you are able to connect to people who don't allow legacy unencrypted connections aswell as increasing overall security.And since it also gives no drawbacks it should be enabled by default.That is all.

Saribro Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 IIRC, it -is- enabled by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyml Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 In answer to The8472>> aswell as increasing overall security>... which means you don't understand anything at all about how the protocol encryption works.When I say increase overall security I mean it increases your ability to avoid ISP shaping of your internet traffic, or ISP-level monitoring of what you are doing with your bandwidth (which is the same thing basicly).>> since you are able to connect to people who don't allow legacy unencrypted connections>not true, since PEX propagates this requirementPure bullshit, with the feature enabled, you are able to connect to people who only accepts encrypted connections and able to fall back to normal connections when you try to connect to a peer that doesn't support encrypted connections. If you don't uncheck the checkbox to allow legacy connections it also has no effect on peers who want to download from you since they still can connect to you without encryption.Edit: Well I can't see any reason not to enable it by default. But anyone knowledgeable who knows a valid reason why it should not be enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyboy Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Bump because I think it is extremely important that encryption is on by default. Some ISPs start reducing your bandwidth if they detect that you're using BitTorrent, so encryption can help fight this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexrayne Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 imho, it is much better to implement encription on specified torrents. as i see at present it is global feature that affects all active torrents, but it is just a few shares that i care of encription.

alexrayne Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 as i understand, there was talk about ability use encripted and nonencripted transfering on same shared torrent between peers. i talk about using encription option setting on different active torrents. how using nonencripted seedeng of one torrent can affect encription safety of another torrent?

moogly Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Because your ISP doesn't care your are sharing, public or private torrents, whatever the active torrents you have, it throttles p2p traffic. So PE is a global feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexrayne Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 hm. i understand - global PE intended for avoiding torrent activity from ISP.as i thought before PE intended for hiding contents of some private torrent from ISP or against keek. for this purpouses selective PE of torrents have a sense. but look like this feature not hard demanded.

Switeck Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Any BitTorrent traffic detected tends to trigger a blanket throttling of the connection by many ISPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
