dolbysnoopy Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I found if I run both clients, Bitcomet will dl very slow. Are they not compatible each others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 You can't run two clients at once because each client will eat your limited upload, thus killing download., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 @dolbysnoopy: er have you tried Azureus + BitComet? I'm pretty sure you'll get the same exact result... with the reason being explained by Firon. Aside from that, if you use the same port for both clients, and open µTorrent first, then BitComet won't have access to that port, thus rendering it slow.

dolbysnoopy Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Firon: I start utorrent first, then Bitcomet with other torrent file. Total upload rate of both programs doesn't exceed 80% of my upload bandwidth.Ultima: I'm using different ports for both clients and direct connect to adsl modem (no port forward problem). As Azureus is too big with JRE and I don't run java most of the time, I just used Bitcomet before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 That's not the point, you're spreading your upload across two clients, which reduces speeds, duh.Why do you need to run two clients? And of all clients, Bitvomit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolbysnoopy Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I just want to test if Bitcomet can find seeds for some of my torrent files as utorrent reported "0" for 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 They use the same DHT network, and the reason BitComet shows more connected peers for DHT is because it shows more than one hop on the network away (as in not directly connected)...

splintax Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 So why don't you just close µT and "test" BC by itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Er doesn't it also depend on who the clients are connected to? µTorrent might have taken the faster seeds/peers, and they probably blocked the same IP from connecting again, leaving BitComet with slower peers.

Ultima Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 lol I agree... another thread with odd ways of testing the application (in this case, instead of speed, it's compatibility O.O) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 µTorrent only shows DHT peers that are directly connected to you. BitComet shows ones that are more than one hop away (as in, not connected to you, but connected to a peer you're connected to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus_1250 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 OK, but does that effect anything, except showing a different number of DHT-connections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Nope, but it is one of the reasons people say "but bitcomet connects to more peers!!!111" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I wonder what would happen if ludde made it default to showing two hops more than BC for DHT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 All it would do is bring more people caring for numbers to us Which could be good in a way. I still like the idea of being able to see exactly how many connections etc. you have made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Maybe you could have a number of peers you are aware of and connected to? Sort of like the 5 (25) you might get in Seeds or Peers based on what you get from the tracker, you can get 5 (25) for 5 connected DHT peers and 25 aware.BTW, you can't have a DHT peer more than two hops away. The only way you can be made aware of the peer is if someone tells you, making it one hop away. You can't be made aware of a peer without being connected to the peer telling you about it.. if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
