Ares Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 This may have been mentioned already, but I couldn't find it. I noticed that the "Stopped by Scheduler" message no longer appears when µTorrent is, well, stopped by the scheduler lol But anyway, just wanna say thanks to Ludde for this awesome version. Quite a great job!Ps. the speed problems I've reported before (in previous versions) have vanished. Just noticed that. Very very cool!-Ares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Oh, and just for curiousity's sake, is there a way to tell if encryption is being used with certain peers? Like an encryption flag? Cause that would be kind of cool -Ares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaEnigma Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I usually follow the release notes for the most recent betas, but there is a problem with accessing the beta directory through the web page or was access to the beta directory removed??

Firon Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Yes, access to the directory was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 The upload speed decrease I reported earlier is gone. I was uploading at 70k. Then when using the latest beta with PEX and PHE (Enabled (all traffic))enabled, my speeds dropped down to 20-25k. Then they bounced around between 25k-50k. But it went back up to 70k after letting it run for about 5-15 min. Been running at 70k+ since midday yesterday. (70k is my upload cap that I set.)I havent tried the latest beta for testing download speeds yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 That's probably because it has to re-establish the connections, and fails the encrypted handshake with most of the clients (so you get less transfer), so it takes longer to ramp up since it has to try again after failing.

pHluid Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 On the protocol encryption - Is there a real reason NOT to use it? I've skimmed the thread (Tried to find Azureus' docs on the subject but no luck there) but I'm still kinda confused.It seems that some answers are "it creates additional overhead" but just as many are saying "the overhead is very minimal."Is there any reasons other than the (however minimal) overhead not to enable it? And regarding the overhead, just how much, approximately, is expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Because it can have potential issues and takes a lot longer to ramp up because not that many people have µTorrent beta 411. You should probably not use it until the stable release unless you're explicitly testing it, or are getting throttled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 The main overhead is when you try to establish an encrypted outgoing connection but the peer you are connecting to doesn't support it. I originally imagined the handshake would fail very quickly and immediately fall back to the traditional protocol. That's not how it works. There is a significant delay before the connection is closed and retried without encryption. So if you are in a swarm with a bunch of other clients which don't support encryption, it will take you a good while to connect to them and start exchanging data.At least that's how I interpreted what I saw when I tried it.The ideal candidates for testing it out would be Shaw customers in Canada. From what I've heard they are severely shaped. But they gotta find some torrents populated with other people running the beta in order to derive any benefit.

1c3d0g Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Shaw and Rogers both suck ass, according to most members here. And in my peer tab, I see almost exclusively Rogers when I'm downloading/uploading to a Canadian. There's just no way of contacting them, of course. Maybe someone with one of these ISP's needs to create a "Calling all screwed over peeps" thread... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything's good except the speeds are terribly slow (relatively speaking). I've heard Shaw's worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atreus Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Does anyone know why the /beta/ directory listing was disabled, if I may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 To prevent people like you snooping around. Beta builds are supposed to be released when Ludde feels they're "stable" enough, and he can't do that if people constantly try out new builds and report constant crashes. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I've noticed the ''remove and'' -> delete .torrent + data, doesn't work properlyWhen you've downloaded a torrent, that makes a directory on your harddrive...the delete function deletes only the data and the .torrent file.. not the directory.Is that a bug or a ''new'' feature:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Yes, we know it's a bug already. And it's really better to have the read cache off. Unless you got >1GB of RAM or something. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emtec666 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 is it possible to add a new flag for peers obtained through pex, like there is for DHT?Yeah that would be nice. Also if a peer is using PHE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durerca Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 The change log for the latest beta says "Change: Don't download first/last piece of a file first. Can be re-enabled." I've been looking in the options for how to turn this back on but I couldn't find it yet. Any help? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
