cvxx7q Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 okay this may be an inefficient way of seeding, but i am initial seeding a torrent and what happens is many peers come, get a unique piece, and leave, then i have to up my seeding goal, the problem is not seeding more than 100% but more so it stops at night and i have to come up the ratio (1% is 500~MB) so this is not good to find you must up the ratio by 10%, more so the problem is stopping and starting the torrentso anyways lets get to the point shall we i am wondering if its possible to have a seeding option (a box that can be in the torrent properties sheet)that seeds until connected peers have a combined ratio of 1.0 because at least then the ratio doesnt matter, wat matters is of all the peers you know for sure that there is a ratio of 1.0 available even if say im connected (uploading) to 20 of 50 peers at least i know the 20 have a combined 100% even if the other 30 peers might have 100% as well or lower (a.k.a hidden percentage among non-connected peers)anyways just a thought i had, dont hate on me too much if its terrible cyasorry i havent figured out where to put signature stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Sounds like it would be easy to destroy initially seeded swarms this way. A malicious peer could simply advertise to all peers it connects to that it has 100% of the pieces, and if you happen to connect to that peer, you automatically stop, and the swarm dies.
