bugmenotplease Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I assume encryption increases load on CPU. Will it be very noticeable? Do many clients\users use encryption yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you perhaps mean the changes will be noticeable Firon and not the CPU load, since you mentioned that will not change.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblade Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 No - When I have 50 torrents running, encryption on for all (I am traffic shaped, so all packets are encrypted and decrypted) Only 20 of them are active, but even so, max CPU is 6-7%, and I have a Athlon XP-M at 2.4Ghz, which to say the least is kind of ancient.Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Yeah, I use it and I can't really tell a difference with it on or off when I'm doing at 450 KB/s. THe CPU use seems to be the same as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twizttid13 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 whats the encryption exactly do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Shroud Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 It uses an RC-4 encryption based on the .torrent hashfile for the key; this is called PE in µTorrent & BitComet, Azureus calls it MSE. With PE/MSE the BitTorrent handshake and the data packets are all encrypted from end to end to prevent ISPs from throttleing the client. Read more at Wikepedia.
