White-list Mode

[Honeyfrog]

(Mainly for initial-seeding, but I suppose there's applications elsewhere.)

There are two parts to this:

A. Peers tab: right-click-on-peer pop-up has a "Add to Whitelist" entry.

B. Torrent Properties / Other Properties: "Whitelist Mode" checkbox.

What it's for: reducing initial-seeding-to-completion time.

How you use it: When initially-seeding a torrent, you'll almost always observe that there a relative handful of peers who are faster than the whole rest of the torrent combined. By adding them to a whitelist, then switching to Whitelist Mode, it prevents other peers from connecting, and one seeds exclusively to the fastest retraders in the torrent.

Speed: Whitelist Mode will utilize "dumb superseeding" (raw sequential piece send without checking for retrading efficiency) in order to maximize throughput.

(It's up to the uploader to determine when he wants to cease Whitelist Mode and re-enter normal initial-seeding to make certain his "good" whitelisted peers are remaining fast traders.)

For security reasons, the whitelist is maintained in memory, and disappears when uTorrent is closed.

Almost certainly not gonna happen.
