bt.transp_disposition

[dyep]

I was just wondering what I was getting with this setting:

Covered in the user manual (press F1 in µT).

Doesnt say what it does when setting it to 21. The only thing I dont want is uTP outgoing connections. What number should I set it to?

[moogly]

That's the same values for 2.1 and 2.0.2.

bt.transp_disposition: This option controls µTorrent's level of bias towards using TCP or uTP for transporting data (assuming the peer at the other end of the connection supports both transport protocols). The following is a list of the accepted values:

1 allows µTorrent to attempt outgoing TCP connections

2 allows µTorrent to attempt outgoing uTP connections

4 allows µTorrent to accept incoming TCP connections

8 allows µTorrent to accept incoming uTP connections

16 tells µTorrent to use the new uTP header. This is an improved communication header, but is not backwards compatible with clients that do not understand it.

This option is interpreted as a bitfield, so values can be added together to obtain a combination of behaviors. Setting this value to 255 guarantees that all behaviors are enabled.

Hi,

I have a doubt about this setting. If I use the 21 (16+4+1) value, I disable totally the uTP connections, correct?

But the manual explains:

16 tells µTorrent to use the new uTP header. This is an improved communication header, but is not backwards compatible with clients that do not understand it

What is the sense of use 16, if this value is for new uTP header and I have disabled this kind of connections?

16 simply doesn't do anything if you disable uTP. I don't see what the issue is. If you choose to put it there, fine, but bt.transp_disposition is an advanced setting for a reason.

You don't understand me. I'm speaking only about this setting: bt.transp_disposition.

If 4+1 is only for TCP connections, and 16 is about the new uTP header. What's the sense of value 21? Would the correct value be 5?

I do believe we were both talking about the same setting. By name, no less, and with the same name as the thread.

I understood you perfectly well. There is no "correct" value; it behaves identically whether you use 5 or 21. Simply put, it doesn't matter if you aren't using uTP.
