8801.625: 67.164.57.47 : [Azureus/2400 ]: Disconnect: Invalid packet length

9779.984: Banned 67.164.57.47

Each time there was invalid packet length, bam, hashfail. It may be a bug with Az 2.4.0.0, but since there were no µT clients in the swarm, I can't tell

Tonight I shut off VPN (PPTP, IPSec) in the router.

Headed to the OpenOffice torrent to test.. it downloaded as fast as it could, so fast in fact when uncapped the crap router lost connection. no hash fails.. yay.

So I'll keep my fingers crossed that it was mostly a router issue. Hopefully. I'll know over time, but so far a good sign.

Btw, I don't know if this is a bug or just the nature of the protocol, but in my settings I have dl speed capped at 285 I think, but it was going at 333. When I uncapped it, it went a bit higher to 346 or so. Still, shouldn't the dl rate have remained lower around the 285 mark? It does great with the ul rate.

I'm currently using build 426 and I'm downloading a 7,82 GB torrent with 2 MB peice sizes and

I have only got 1 hashfail and I have downloaded 91,7% of the torrent where half of the peers

I'm connected to are Azureus 2.4.0.0.

What could be the problem Azureus 2.4.0.0, is that maybe µTorrent isn't compatible with one

of Azureus encryption levels or that there is a bug with one of Azureus encryption levels.

Bug?:

That's weird.. I just now looked at the log and there's a single hash fail on a queued item I haven't even started yet. In fact the 2 queued items have actually downloaded a couple megs each! How is that possible?

On hash failing:

So far so good.. since I twiddled around making sure my MTU was hardcoded to the same value as the router (1500), hardcoded a RWIN to a better value (32767) and turned off dmz gaming mode, upnp, ip multicasting, and VPN options, stuff seems better..

I am still getting the single isolated hash fail on a piece sporadically but it doesn't repeat itself. This is 'normal' behavior.

Of course I'm on different torrents now.. so we'll likely never know which end was the problem.. but I think 'for now' I am ok.

Still, that thing Firon spotted about the invalid packet length makes me wonder if all that torture I was going through was because of an Az client. I wonder if Az knows about it.

Btw guys, I don't think it's encryption.. these problems happen with or without it.

I have bad news....

All torrents which I downloaded with recent beta versions of µTorrent *prior* to 427 fail a "force re-check". Since I was still seeding these with 427 it means that ***I*** have been the source of hash fails for other peers downloading these torrents.

So...................this means everyone (EVERYONE) who has been using any beta version of µTorrent prior to 427 MUST stop all their torrents and do a force recheck on every one of them or you will continue to "poison" the torrents you are seeding (or still downloading...see next paragraph).

This also applies to any extremely slow torrents you initially started downloading with a previous beta version and are still downloading with 427. I had one of those too and its "done" percentage was reduced when I did a "force re-check" on it.

This is why there have been several previous posts (from Firon and Boo, I believe) recommending that everyone stop and "force re-check" all their torrents. I think the problem has been known for a while now but no one has fully explained it.

If the news media posted a headline "Invasion of small black spiders !" , then you can bet that suddenly everyone would notice small black spiders in their house that they previously had not noticed. :D:D

The same thing applies to hash fails and corrupted files. I had all of those things with 1.2 and 1.3 and ABC as well.

Just because one person has corrupted files doesn't mean the program is flawed.
