Majibow Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 These are the current options Forced - only encryptionEnable - try encryption then notDisable - no encryptionMy suggestion is to add this option Default - try no encryption then encryptionAs you can see the "Enable" option allows for the biggest pool of peers, BUT if someone is using the "Disable" option they cut their peer pool down since they will be rejected by people that do not allow incoming legacy connections.I propose a new option, labelled the "Default" option, which does the opposite of the "Enable" option there by maximising the peer pool. Some people will defiantly like it since they don't care wether they use encryption or not but would rather not use it since it slows the transfers and increases the amount of data downloaded.

Harold Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 The amount of extra data is quite small though, and the increased CPU cost only matter if you have a really insane internet connection (say, 1Gbit/s or more) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majibow Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Still, I would prefer not to use encryption if I had the choice; but at the same time I don't want to reduce the amount of peers I can connect to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Session Start: Sun Jan 06 10:27:30 2008...[16:52:03] <@Ultima> the thing is, some users might accept only encrypted connections[16:52:15] <@Ultima> in which case, if it's disabled by default, you can't connect to such users by default[16:52:32] <@Ultima> accept only incoming encrypted connections*[16:53:03] <@Ultima> can't connect to them unless they connect to you*[16:53:07] <@RyanNorton> Yeah, bit in 95% of cases there is no point in doing it and it creates extra overhead[16:53:57] <@RyanNorton> maybe we should make an option that says "use encryption if other users don't accept normal connections" or something[16:54:06] <@RyanNorton> if thats possible[16:54:24] <&alus> it's possible[16:54:28] <&alus> you just reverse the retry order[16:54:40] <&alus> that's the only option in Mainline [16:55:12] <@Ultima> so yeah, perhaps that should be done?[16:56:55] <&alus> that's slightly non-trivial[16:57:04] <&alus> because there's a large chance for introducing a bug [16:57:20] <&alus> but, I'll file it[16:57:26] <@Ultima> k, coolSo yeah, it was already filed in the bugtracker just a little over a year ago.

Majibow Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Ok well good, but I don't see that feature implemented yet do you?I just thought I'd bring it up because it's a feature I personally would like to have. Anyhow I hope they decide to include it in the next release of uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Probably won't be. The priority is very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
