p.fout Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 there are some adanced settings but cant see anythign about peer sources?(might be blind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Like I said, try double clicking the torrent... there's only 3 possible sources (the tracker, DHT, and PEX). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.fout Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 so all peers are from the tracker not supplied from another peer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 You can clearly see on the properties page that there's the terms PEX (Peer Exchange) and DHT. (DHT is more or less the same thing as Distributed Database)Those are the two alternate sources (as in not the tracker). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.fout Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 sorry if i repeat myself (or sound daft)but is PEX the same as getting peers supplied from another peer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hofshi Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 when you double click the torrent, you can see the list of trackers. You can easily add or delete trackers from this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Restricting peer connections by source has proven to be not practical.There isn't a way to restrict to peers from a specific source (such as tracker only) because of this.Peers that connect in, regardless of the source, will still connect.Search for the keyword "USPAM" to see why the feature won't be implemented.

DreadWingKnight Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 It won't do this because doing this will effectively fuck over any new members of the swarm.Restricting all connections to information obtained from a tracker isn't practical. Azureus is the only client that attempts to do this.NO other client attempts to place this sort of restriction on their peer connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 If I understand what DWK is saying, then it seems like the only possible way to implement this is as an option that is only active when the swarm is small enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 manually adding peer seems to be broken here.. nomatter who was trying to initiate the connection.. we both have real IPs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
