Firon Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 It's not disabled, but why? I mean, it's so cumbersome to use, could you honestly use it for anything malicious (especially since you can't PEX)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osm0sis Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 except for the funny fact the only torrent 1.41 beta user i've seen on in days doesnt appear as X flagged the beta user wouldn't have sent himself to you in the peerlist. you got the beta user from the tracker, and the X flagged users came from the beta user. to clarify, the X doesn't denote the peer has PEX capabilities, it denotes that YOU received said peer VIA peer exchange.

nightshifted Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Good point, Firon ... the stowaway can't spread beyond the peers who add him/her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 But if this peer adds Azureus, Bitcomet or something with PEX, won't he receive incoming connections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafi Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Just to let you guys know, my latest RSS auto-download - the SG1 ep16 was done with Protocol Encription set to "forced" .It just happened that Azureus has also just released their new version - 2.4 that also supports "our" PE... I seems that B 421 was handling well ~ 200 peers as you can see in this screen-shot.http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/9137/utazpeers6fy.jpgSo, now is a good time for guys that are being capped by their ISPs - to try and see if PE really helps them. I suggest to try first - pref->others->PE-outgoing="forced"And see if it helpsIf not - try also - pref->others->PE-incoming =disable "allow incoming legacy" ...and report back here... good luck!

chaosblade Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Nice. Does azureus behave similar to uT in defaults? As in, No ability to turn off accepting incoming encrypted connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Firon mentioned that it does not default to "enable" PE (for outgoing). It is not clear about incoming. I might upgrade/install the new version and see...Edit: OK, a I understand it - in Azureus it is like this: OUTGOING -Encryption INCOMING-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Disabled/Default disabled (unless Enc. requested ) enabled (when requested)enabled** enabled* (unless Legacy requested) enabled* (when requested)notes:* by selecting "enable legacy..."** you can also select either header encryption or full.You can also specifically NOT allow fall-back-to-legacy for input connections and/or also NOT allow initiating fall-back-legacy outgoing connectionsDescription here:http://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/index.php/Avoid_traffic_shapingSo, when I selected "forced PE" - the default Azureus 2.4 client supported my encryptions.

Technarch Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 In the torrent I'm running right now I see 2 Azureus 2400s and they both have E's and I see 4 µTorrent 1.41B's but only ONE has the E flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technarch Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 With 422 more people show up with the E flag than before.My messed up torrent also managed to complete too (but who knows if that was because I turned on pre-allocate in a vain attempt to solve mystery).

Ultima Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hm... maybe it's because of the new PE propogation through PEX that you're getting more E's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Yeah, that seemed to cause more connections to be in encrypted mode (in the test we had with ludde, i connected to him after finding him on PEX via silverfire which was already in my peer list, and even though i initiated the connection, and encryption was DISABLED, the connection was in E mode).

Firon Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Yes, you can't turn off encryption support in Azureus, much like in µTorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technarch Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 It bears clarification here that if you make an outgoing connection and have E on, then E will be activated.. but if the remote user doesn't have E on, and connects to you, and you have allow legacy on, then there will not be an E.In case anyone wondered why there is a mix of on and off. I leave mine on E and allow legacy because my port isn't throttled yet in this area, and to help out the folks who are.I wonder if I had disallow legacy on, would the remote end re-negotiate to include the E.

Firon Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 not exactly true, the PE flag is propagated through PEX and DHT, so if they got your IP:port through either of those, that would tell them to turn it on when connecting to you, even if they have it set to disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technarch Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Sure, but the example I was giving, of the 10 Az clients connected 6 had E, and 4 didn't.. and none of them had H or X flags.. straight tracker connects.. that's why I wondered.Oh well it's fun, only problem today is that I have nothing I want to download. Feeling withdrawal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 about this change... :- Change: Min autodetected piecesize is now 64k....what was the autodetected piecesize before?Another question, in rafi's screenshot of Azureus, you can see that you can choose several encryption levels,so will µTorrent be comptible with all the encryption levels that Azureus have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 the piece size is related to the torrent maker.and yes, it is compatible with Azureus' levels of PE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Feature: Show a special message if utorrent crashes while NOD32 is active.Why for this specific AV? Dont other AV cause crashes? Just wondering why....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I'll venture a guess and say, maybe it's because it's one that is detectable (aka it forces µTorrent to do something that in turn causes it to crash)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durerca Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I'm getting an odd behavior with version 422. The speed of my downloading torrent is reported as 40kb/s but the speed in the statusbar in the bottom is reported as 300kb/s which happens to be my max speed. Independent testing with DU Meter says that my full connection of 300kb/s is being used even tho uTorrent is set to limit it to half of that. Pausing the torrent did nothing to stop the traffic either, I had to close uTorrent completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
