deeppal Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Could someone assist me in telling me which settings to put if my ISP throttles bittorent traffic. I know abt peer_lazy_bitfield but wat abt the new PE released in the beta version. PE in utorrent has many options, which shd i use. And wat abt the box ticked for legacy connections by default. What does legacy mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 If you want to be on the safer side, you should use Enable (All traffic). I wonder how much it'll help in terms of speed, since this feature is still new and in beta testing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 It'll take longer to ramp up speed on swarms where there's few µTorrent peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Legacy means the old, unencrypted protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocky888 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 the encrypted protocol have not help me yetmost clients i download from are bitcomet, azureus, utorrent but version 1.40 etc..there seem to be very few 1.41 beta 11 users now.

Firon Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 'Cause it's a beta, duh. Azureus doesn't even have a new beta out yet with the new PE spec. You'll find more 412 users on private trackers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocky888 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 so far haven't test out PE yet cause can't find any 411/412 usersany idea where i can test out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1c3d0g Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 PocketLinux.I have both Encyption (all traffic) and PeX enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 @1c3d0g: I started that torrent, and I see one other 141B user from the setardsl.aw domain. I'm downloading from that peer, but it's not using encryption. I'm using "Enabled (all traffic)" and "Allow legacy incoming connections." :|EDIT1: Strange thing is, I see a total of 3 seeds and 4 peers, however I'm only showing 3 seeds and 1 peer in the Peers tab. I don't have any other torrents running. I wonder why they're not being listed, as I've definitely not reached my max connections.EDIT2: I told it to "Force Encryption" and now it's working. Why did it not do it by default with "Enabled (all traffic)"?EDIT3: Matter of fact, when I switched to back to "Enabled (all traffic)", after a few minutes the encrypted peer switched back to not using encryption.EDIT4: It's very strange. The FAQ states that "Enabled (All traffic): Allows the use of PE and attempts to use it to encrypt ALL traffic, but falls back to normal mode if the encrypted connection fails." However, for me, it uses normal mode first. If I force encryption, then that peer will have an E flag. If I turn it back to "enabled (all traffic)" then after a few moments, the peer loses its E flag. Seems like it's reverting back to normal mode even though both peers have encryption turned on.

1c3d0g Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 That's me, but the behaviour you're describing is very strange. :/ Like you said, µTorrent should try Encryption first, and IF that fails, µTorrent should fall back to normal mode. So according to you that doesn't happen, huh? Looks like we'll have to test it again with Ludde. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yeah, that seems to be how it is working. I let it sit for about 5 minutes, and I was receiving data from you, unencrypted. It was in "Enabled (all traffic)" mode. So I switched to "Forced Encryption" and within a few moments, you had the E flag. I switched it back to "Enabled (all traffic)" and it took the E flag off after about two minutes. I was still receiving data from you, it just stopped using encryption.Should I post a bug report, or are you going to mention it to Ludde yoruself?Thanks,-Ares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 No, I'll mention it to Ludde (and point him to this thread, just in case he hasn't read it yet ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocky888 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 yeah, same behaviour from those describe aboveusing build 413if i enable Forced Encryption, only connected to 1 client (1c3d0g)my download speed from 1c3d0g seem to increase after switch to Forced Encryption (from 0.xxkb/s to 8-9kb/s), but after a while it stop downloading and switch back to normal mode, hmmneed more clients for testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I joined in as well...set to Force Encryption (all trafic)I get 1c3d0g as X and Pocky888 as HX. I don't have any E in my flags column using build 413 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Are any of them I? You can still get unencrypted incoming connections even in forced mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 No. both connections are NOT remote. however, when I started the torrent, I had Enabled (all trafic) in my options, and I switched to Force after the connections were already made.

1c3d0g Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 This is what I get from you guys:I haven't notified Ludde yet (he seems to be gone for a while), but the good news is that this has been moved to the Todo forum, so apparently someone is aware of this possible bug.

hofshi Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 yeah, it seems that my connection is outbound, and UnEncrypted for some reason. I'll try to stop the torrent and restart, to see if it will start the encrypted connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 yup, that did the trick. I've got 1c3d0g as XE and Pocky888 as HXE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 It only applies to new connections, yes...So using Enable (all traffic) does NOT work? What about Enable (handskake)? And don't forget to stop and start the torrent once you change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Nope. Enable (handshake) results in an unencrypted connection. Edit: outbound connection that is. Firon: did you just join in as well? there is another µ-er in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
