Klaus_1250 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Not a real bug, more a glitch:If I try to download a dead torrent, uTorrent always reports 1 peer found through DHT and says 0 of 1 connected in the Peers-colums. Technically correct, but it is my own (external) IP that is found and thus is confusing. I personally rather have that uTorrent does not include myself, because it is pretty useless.If I take a look at the peers-list for several torrents, I also notice that quite often, it includes private IP's of routers, including the same as my own router (192.168.1.1 but since it is someone else's that is listed, it has different port). Again a glitch. uTorrent knows both my external IP, my internal IP and the routers internal IP, so it should filter out private IP's from the peer-list which are the same as my own internal IP or my routers internal IP.From http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=9595This isn't a bug, and you'll find other clients do the same. There isn't any problem with it happening either. BT clients don't consider you to be the same by IP and port, they connect, get your peer/client ID, and then consider you the same.Apparently, the latter, getting your peer/client ID and then considering you the same, doesn't always work?
Klaus_1250 Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Posted June 25, 2006 Just checked a bit more. In the verbose log, uTorrent does seem to recognize my own ip's and ports, but since the messages pass along in a regular interval, it just doesn't seem to remember them or to anything with them?
Klaus_1250 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Posted July 4, 2006 To add one thing. Couldn't this issue also cause people to show them a Network OK while instead it is not? If an ISP is blocking outside incomming connections, people would be unable to accept incoming connections. But, if they connect to themselves (see above), wouldn't uTorrent say Network OK because of the incoming connection to itself?
DreadWingKnight Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 No this can't, since the connection doesn't persist beyond the negotiation attempt.The reappearing at regular intervals has to do with announce intervals for the tracker and DHT.
