richms Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 My ISP has a torrent cache, which when it connects delivers stuff really fast.The problem is, that my 20-30 slots always get taken up with other peers, which because of my ISPs crap bandwidth go really slowly.Is there a way I can define the ISPs cache range (119.224.143.x) as local peers so that any limits are ignored when they connect in?

richms Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I dont know what they have implimented as far as that but there is a peer claiming to be bit comet 1.09 that will build up to having 99.7-99.9% of a file (always one piece short of complete) - it seems to only kick in when it sees lots of people getting the same one, so you upload a few pieces to it and then it sends back real fast.My reverse lookup is my own domain which looking at that spec would break its discovery of an ISP provided tracker.They do some weird stuff where any tracker comms get connection closed by peer when you are thrashing the connection, everything goes thru some blue coat proxy which does it I think. Then incoming connections from the fake bit comet peer happen. Its smart enough to only work on public torrents somehow too.In anycase, that peer will give me 180-250kB/s - others are limited to about 5kB/s by the ISPs throttling of things so its very benificial to have it connect.

rafi Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I guess you are talking about about a "white list" of peers you like uT only to connect to. Or at least - priorities this peer over others (in the peers list) when trying to connect - like a local peers list. Both ideas are not implemented, but were raised in different forums. I have this situation too, and will love to see some local-peers list or white list implemented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintball9 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 What you can do (assuming you always know either the name or the IP address of said peer) is right click in the peer tab and add peer. There is no way to guarantee it will stay on or if it will even connect with the address you give. (it might be a dynamic address depending on server load) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
