boo Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 It would be nice if you could see what tracker a peer is from in the peer list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Not easily.DHT causes confusion, as well as peer exchange and the number of multi-tier-announce clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I'm pretty sure this was requested a while ago... and I'm not 100% sure, but isn't it easy to keep track of where peers came from? If a tracker sends its list of peers, you just check which peer you already know about... and if you don't recognize the peer, just add the peer along with the tracker you got the current peer list from. At least that's how I'd imagine it could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Sounds fairly simple to implement to me. Rather than having the DHT and PeX flags (can't remember exactly what they were), we could have a Source column that says DHT, Peer Exchange or Tracker: <tracker hostname>, like prq.to or something.

chaosblade Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 The problem is deciding WHICH tracker it came from. Or in case it came from various sources, what do you do? ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 You follow exactly my suggestion -- the first tracker you got the peer from.(In the case of my suggestion above, I said to add only if you don't already know about the peer, which implies that ;P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightshifted Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 If the other peer connected to you, you might not know how it found out about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I guess they can go under some other category... like "Remotely connected" or something... which then... kills the value... of... the... feature... lol good point there xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
