UDP tracker protocol

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

does µtorrent supports the UDP tracker protocol? Azureus is already supporting this wonderfull new protocol (saves a lot traffic!). :|

OpenTracker, the most used Public Tracker [MRTG] (!) - also used by The Pirate Bay - supports and invented this feature and it would help to save a lot traffic.

The UDP tracker protocol uses (less than) 50% of the bandwidth the HTTP tracker protocol uses. And because UDP is stateless, limits to the number of (open) TCP connections a router or server can handle, do not apply.

Edit:

Also, using this could help to establisch more trackers on normal hosters (like server4you etc) which don't disconnect your machine from the internet 8 times a day because they think you are getting an DDoS attack (really happend to me!).

Best regards,

ShAQ
