mikrob Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi! Sorry, I'm Russian and know english not enough good. But can read.I want to suggest idea of collective downloading same torrent by several users within one LAN. Desirable to implement that facility by separate program (server) or include that facility to the future versions of uTorrent.Server running on one PC in the LAN start downloading torrent. Users who wish to help may send request. Server then distribute several parts (not all remaining parts) of torrent to helper (in consideration of helper's bandwidth).Same process exetute for other helpers.Downloaded by helpers parts collects on the server's PC over LAN.I hope you understand my delirium =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Have you tried out that scenario with 1.7? There is an option under Ctrl-P -> BitTorrent called "Enable Local Peer Discovery". If the clients have the same torrent open and are on the same subnet, they can see eachother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 1.7.5 should not be banned anywhere. If it is, please ask the tracker admins to provide a valid explanation why (there isn't one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikrob Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Because upper versions have some abilities for tweaking (U/D ratio for instance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Since when?What features?What sort of tweaking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 No legitimate version of µTorrent lets you falsify stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 AND even if the tracker admins have actually experienced and investigated specific users on their site who have done such, see Firon's post above. They should have put that effort into banning the modded version or letting their users know "irregardless of client used, statistics editing will result in a ban"... banning the client with the smallest footprint is like shooting themselves in the foot.

mikrob Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 same topic...http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=273305here is what written in the thread:---------------------------------If you are using uTorrent version 1.7, you need to downgrade to the previous stable version.uTorrent Developers wrote:"BUG: Invalid download amounts being reported to trackers for >4GB torrents"If you are downloading a torrent larger than 4gigs, it will report incorrect download speeds.Your ratio will not be effected by this client error thus far.Please visit the uTorrent official web site to obtain version 1.7.1___________________________________________________________________There have been reports of utorrent 1.7 sending private info outside the trackerThe client version 1.7 will not be allowed at bitsoup.org because of this problemwe understand the need for a utorrent version to be available to youplease feel free to download utorrent 1.6.1 herewe are sorry for the troubles our utorrent members have faced due to these bugs.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------And something like this =)----------------Got this PM from a private tracker:-----------------------------MASS PM TO ALL MEMBERS--------------------µtorrent 1.7.1 has now been banned from (private tracker). The new version contains a feature that sends your IP and upload/download information to the MPAA and the RIAAWe suggest that any member using this software immediately removes it from their computers and downgrade to µtorrent 1.6.1 which can be found at the link below.Any truth to this? I'm still using 1.6.1 thank goodness.__________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 1.7.5 has been stable for months... Sure they can claim whatever they want. If they have failed to check in on the current stable in the 6 preceding months, they are simply lazy admins.--- 2007-07-21: Version 1.7.2 (build 3458)- Fix: Disable Local Peer Discovery for private torrents--- 2007-07-13: Version 1.7.1 (build 3360)- Fix: Invalid download amounts being reported to trackers for >4GB torrents--- 2007-07-13: Version 1.7 (build 3351)- Fix: Determination of which peers are local on Windows 98 (and possibly other 95 varieties)Multiple builds when bugs are reported within a day, and then a released fix (which remained the current stable for months) within a week...Lemmings, or scientologists, or both. </rant> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 No data is sent to anyone. The download bug was indeed present in 1.7, but that was fixed for 1.7.1. 1.7.2, on the other hand, fixed the fact that LPD was enabled on private torrents (though it only really works on your LAN anyway to find other peers, so... not a big deal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 If the tracker administrators want to protect their users, they should consider protecting their users from their (the tracker admins') ignorance more than anything. Their concern for the users (?) is well appreciated, but when it's all backed by FUD, it isn't helping anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
