Stone Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Sorry if it's been posted before, i didn't found itSince i've started using uTorrent i always wanted to see what pieces have those peers who i'm connected to, like in azureusI think it wouldn't be hard to implement, since something similar is used in "Downloaded" bar and "Pieces" collumn under "Files" tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Question: What will you do if you find out what pieces every peer have? There's nothing you can do to get the pieces faster anyway.I prefer having a small program that does what is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I don't think µTorrent size would increase dramaticaly if this is implemented, and if you don't need this feature, maybe others need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 This is useless IMHO, sorry. Like Animorc said, you can't get the pieces faster anyway, so why waste resources on something like this? No way. Don't turn µTorrent into an Azureus! :/-1.

6frcsa Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I think it could be useful if you download torrents with multiple files in it and where some peers don't download all the files in the torrent. Then, you can see that the peer doesn't want to download all the files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peche Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I Agree with Remouald, its vey usefull. And i dont think the size of the program will increase very much, of course it will be optional like all columns in Peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6frcsa Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 No. It's just that I think it's useful to see what other peers have. I don't say it's essential, not at all, and I won't die if this feature is not implemented (it will be the case). I think it is as useful as the column "client" in the peers tab: ok you see what peer has such client, and then what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 if the peers tab show many utorrent 1.5 and many azureus 2.4.0.2, u can expect there to be Encryption enabled peers and/or peer exchange candidates, then u see if u have chances of getting anything, if u see many people with DHT compatible clients u can expect DHT to work just fine in case the tracker goes down and u have to use DHT (if u dont us it all the time just like me), and many more things, u will feel glad many people using utorrent over other clients... xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zshare Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 .... and you can see when new version of your favorite client arrives... (since I turned auto-update off).Anyway, back to topic, I vote FOR implementing the 'piece' column. It will add about 0.1% in size of .EXE and about 1-2% in CPU usage, IMHO. Please correct me if I'm wrong.Isn't it nice when you sort peers by this criteria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Size? If you don't have the source code, you can't make any estimation about the increase that it'll incur by adding it. As for CPU usage, who knows. Sorting? All it'd do is sort by percent completion anyway, so it wouldn't make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing you can do to get the pieces faster anyway.I prefer having a small program that does what is needed.So then, the pieces tab could aswell be removed?Merged double post(s):Sorry if it's been posted before, i didn't found itSince i've started using uTorrent i always wanted to see what pieces have those peers who i'm connected to, like in azureushttp://img510.imageshack.us/img510/6780/azpeerpiece1ue.jpgI think it wouldn't be hard to implement, since something similar is used in "Downloaded" bar and "Pieces" collumn under "Files" tabI have also missed something like this. Or maybe the pieces tab could have a column that shows from who you are downloading the piece.EDIT by silverfire: I swear, eventually I'm going to start deleting double posts instead of merging them.

DreadWingKnight Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Pieces divide into 16k blocks.Each 16k block can come from a different peer.You could end up with hundreds of peers listed for a single piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixxon Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 [quoting the previous message is spam - quote removed]So it is probably a better idea to implement it in the peers tab like the thread starter first suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
