hofshi Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Firon: could you please explain why should it be any slower if I don't max out my connection? I thought that if I don't max out my connection, then my connection can handle the extra overhead and still maintain the same download speed. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 what we mean wasn't the download speed is slower, but how much extra time it will take for the torrent to finnish,because the excryption adds extra data and µTorrent needs to decrypt the packages.

Firon Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Slightly (really, it's not noticeable) increased overhead from the uploader, which reduces the throughput slightly to you. And no boo, that's not why.But in all honesty, it won't make a dif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 yet again i see X flags when PEX is disabled, does this means it will exchange peer lists with compatible clients that have it enabled even if i dont enable it? or does the X flag means those users are also available to get from using PEX?

Firon Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Nefarious: is it a new torrent or an old torrent? If it's old, then that's cached data.Also, peers on older clients can still send you the PEX data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 So in short, when disableing PEX, you really only disable the sending off your own peer list,but still can recieve peer list from other peers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 If the other client sends it for some particular reason, apparently yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimmel Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I found a bugWhen i use superseeding de connection to a azareus client will fail after 10 - 15secondsWhen i use seeding its no problem , i can upload 150kB/s for hours to the Azereus client. I dont know if the encryptie and superseed mode can work together?Azareus was a 2307My 418 was enabled always without legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I was wondering, does PE work well together with bt.lazy_bitfield ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 If the other client sends it for some particular reason, apparently yes.isnt that like... cheating? it is an old torrent, but i never got it to "start" it, so it couldnt have cached dataand BTW, this is a different torrent than another that was giving me those same behavior, but perhaps in the other could have been cached data indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 why would it be cheating if µTorrent allows to recieve peerlist from other clients even if the PEX is disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technarch Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I'm using the 418 build, and I must say I find it annoying meeting a µTorrent 141B client in the peers list, getting an E flag usually in combination with H and/or X and that client does not want to send or receive anything to me.Maybe it's because they don't know how to configure their firewall or something.. but the nonencrypted ones work fine..Won't know for sure what the problem is until more people start using it.

Nefarious Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 cauze i would be getting benefit without giving anything in exchange? just like leeching, getting amazing downloads without uploadingits not exactly the same thing, but ohh well, dont mind me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
td4guy Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Does anyone else with a 10+Mbit connection feel throttled by this encryption? I don't ever seem to upload faster than 500kB/s, while I can do 1500kB/s with BitComet. My university ISP filters p2p packets, so I can't test what speeds would be like without the encryption in µTorrent.Maybe my computer is just too slow. 2.4GHz P4, 256MB RAM.

Kazuaki Shimazaki Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I do know that uTorrent's encryption schemes are more advanced and thus will presumably take more CPU power (assuming similar coding efficiency). There's also the point that there are many more BC clients with PHE than uTorrent clients with PE running out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynetman Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 "Don't count slow upload = false" seems to have no effects. utorrent still opens the same amount of slots in upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynetman Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 2 files in download, 3 slot per file setting, upload speed limit at 16 (total up line speed = 32, so not capped): 12 total slots opened by utorrent with with "queue.dont' count slow upload" set at false. Usually setting to false decreased the number of opened slots, it seems has no effect.Doesn't they seem too many to you? 16 KB/12 slot= 1.3KB average upload speed per slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Buzzard Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 You just completely misunderstood what that setting means, skynetman. It doesn't increase or decrease the number of slots, it increases the maximum active number of downloading or uploading torrents if one isn't seeing enough traffic to justify using up an active spot.The setting you're wanting is on the Torrent Options page. It's called Use additional upload slots if upload speed < 90%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhn195 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 How do you know whether your ISP is doing traffic shapping? Is there any clear cut way to identify it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 By testing it with the OOo torrent. If you get miserable speeds with this torrent (assuming you've port forwarded, set good values in your options etc. and all that), then your ISP is most likely to blame. :|http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolution3 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 question about encryption. If you have it disabled, and then enable it, will a restart of utorrent trigger it, or do i have to remove the whole torrent and import it again (so it checks etc). Just wondering, thanks.
