drizzle Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Have been running 1.7.7, just tried out 1.8.3.15589, noticed something, not sure what to make of it...Preferences->Bittorent "Enable Local Peer Discovery" is UNchecked.Properties for torrent inherited from 1.7.7 has "Local Peer Discovery" checkedTrackers Tab has "[Local Peer Discovery]" status "Working" (NOT 'Disabled')Checking/UNchecking "Enable Local Peer Discovery" does not appear to affect anything, at least as regards the torrent properties page or the Trackers tab. (I don't have any local peers to test against).As a contra-example - Enabling/Disabling DHT causes the checkbox on torrent properties page to 'gray out' or become clickable, and the tracker tab to show DHT status "Disabled" or (whatever). I guess I sort of expected similar behaviour with respect to the 'local peer discovery' preference setting...Is this a glitch with the beta, of just how the 1.8.* series 'works'? What is the interaction between the Preference and the Torrent Property supposed to be?Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 DHT is global, LPD is torrent-specific.Turning on LPD 'globally' just means allow/disallow LPD for new torrents, not disable LPD for all previously started torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drizzle Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Thanks for the reply.Given your explanation, perhaps the label for the preference should be "Enable LPD for new torrents" (like the option immediately above it for DHT).Or at least a note in the help file as to how the preference operates.Cheers!

Switeck Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Yes, but it's not in my power to change those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
