Add Peer Feature

[Limou]

Hello

I was just seeking some information on the add peer feature but I didn't find any relevant topic on the subject... a search gave me something like 100 topics... didn't have the courage to read them all, so sorry if the topic has already been posted... I have read the http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=4060 topic... But wanted some confirmations and precisions... thanks in advance

I just wanted to know how does it work ? and in which case can we use it ?

Is it something like finding peers or seeds with another client and adding them in the µtorrent peer list ?

In that case is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:XXXX the right syntax for an ip and its port ? (supposed to be like this in the info box just wanted a confirmation)

Is the peer added supposed to appear immediately in the peer list ?

If that is the case could there be any reason that it doesn't work for me ?

If that is not the case why doesn't it appear at all even after hours (does this feature actually work ?)

And is their anyway to add a peer list instead of adding peers one by one ?

If that is the case what is the correct manipulation or syntaxe ?

Excuse me in advance for hammering questions and for my bad English

Thanks

it just adds them to the internal peer cache, it doesn't mean you'll actually connect to them

I don't believe it is possible for you to add a peer list.

Most people use the function when there are problems with the tracker (and they know a friend is in the swarm, for example) or to communicate with a LAN client. For example, adding 192.168.0.3:2884 or something, and grabbing data from a peer on LAN.
