bt.ban_ratio/bt.ban_threshold not being respected

[Snowknight26]

I currently have bt.ban_ratio at 128 and bt.ban_threshold at 3, yet I see this:

Shouldn't it only ban the peer after 3 of 128 pieces failed the hash check, not after the first one? Smart ban filter kicking in because its the same piece?

3 of 128 CHUNKS sent. If they don't send any good PIECES to start with, if the piecesize is > 2 MiB they may not even send one complete piece before banning.

1.8 has a different banning method. Not sure if those settings even do anything anymore.

Anyway, it actually keeps track of who sent each 16kb chunk and basically verifies a new good piece with the old bad piece, and then instantly knows who actually sent the bad data.

[Snowknight26]

thelittlefire: The documentation specifically states pieces and not chunks.

If those settings don't work anymore, is there any way to perhaps temporarily disable the banning for a select torrent? Kind of hard to get the file when there are two or so peers yet both get banned.

Forgot to mention that bt.use_ban_ratio was true, though it was probably assumed.

[thelittlefire]

Turn off use_ban_ratio ?

[Snowknight26]

Not the answer I was hoping for.

Whats the word on those settings not being followed though, not with the new system?

[thelittlefire]

.... your seed sends no good data, it gets banned before 1 piece is sent when the piecesize is >= 2 MiB

I guess I should have clarified that I a was looking for any confirmation as to what Firon said.

Edit: Turned off bt.use_ban_ratio just for the heck of it.
