Super-seeding Bug (b431)

I tried to super seed two torrents that i created. In both situation my upload would get slower and slower as it reached 99% and would totally stop when availability reached 99.X%. I tried to stop and restart the torrent a few times but it doesn't help. I have to turn off super seeding to be able to upload like normal.

By the way, is it normal to upload 30%-50% more data than necessary when super-seeding? My ratio in both cases are 1.31 and 1.47 and i encounter this problem in other versions as well.

"The superseeding method has resulted in much higher seeding efficiencies, by both inducing peers into taking only the rarest data, reducing the amount of redundant data sent, and limiting the amount of data sent to peers which do not contribute to the swarm.

Prior to this, a seed might have to upload 150% to 200% of the total size of a

torrent before other clients became seeds. However, a large torrent seeded with a

single client running in super-seed mode was able to do so after only uploading

105% of the data. This is 150-200% more efficient than when using a standard seed."

The answer is that you'd normally upload 105%, not as much as you do.

Super seeding has been broken the last several beta builds. Ludde has been informed, but is currently at a loss as to why it is broken.

I can reproduce this problem everytime I superseed on one particular tracker.

Again, I offer my assistance - if there are any sort of diagnostics that can be taken, or logging enabled, then I am only too happy to do it.

how is it 150-200% more effective if it takes 105% instead of 150%?

shadek: with the BitTornado method, not the Azureus method (which we're using, it sucks)

Actually the 2.4.0.0 super-seeding seems to be working much better according to reports from users on a private tracker were super-seeding is mandatory. (never use it myself)

But I agree BitTornado's implementation seems to be the best out there.

Well I think there may be a glitch of some kind, because last night someone asked me to reseed a torrent, so I obliged.. most of the clients were bitcomet cack.

With super-seed on, they would connect, but not want to receive anything from me. With super-seed off, they would happily receive from me.
