Mike KPM Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I've already read Firon's announcement regarding this issue and the only thing he/she says is:Change: add bt.transp_disposition value (3) for uTP-onlyBut what does setting bt.transp_disposition at 0 and at 1 and at 2 do?Also I wish to know specific information regarding all the settings for example: 0 only accepts TCP connects, that 1 accepts both TCP and UDP connections, 2 has UDP as default incoming/outcoming and will accept only TCP incoming and 3 means that only UDP will be accepted incoming/going it won't accept any TCP. I repeat the above paragraph is not fact! This is an example of the complete information I'm looking for regarding all the settings for bt.transp_disposition.Thank you.

Ultima Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 In 1.8.0 - 1.8.2, bt.transp_disposition controls which transport is used for outgoing connections only (that is, it doesn't filter incoming connections). The values are interpreted as follows:0: attempt only TCP1: attempt both TCP and uTP, drop TCP if uTP is successful2: attempt uTP if supported, TCP otherwise3: attempt only uTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 what would be the default for a new install or an updaters to 1.8.2 , Ultima ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Simple as clicking "Reset" on bt.transp_disposition in Preferences > Advanced... It defaults to 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 oh, so it does not change the current settings upon an update (as 1.9 does) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhong881209 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 i confuse, what is the different for number 1 and 2 ? not both also use uTP (if supported) and drop TCP?give me some good example.edit: haha, thank for noticing my mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichpuchtli Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 to ULTIMA:Please, and what about the INCOMING ? What means "it doesn't filter"? Are uTP always allowed (or it doesn't support incoming uTP) ???? MANY of us need this info for setting our firewalls! Those who never use DHT mostly allow only TCP and ICMP type 3 (destination unreacheable) and may be messing/losing something important!sorry, v1.8.1 support option "3", as you said? (this "bt.transp_disposition" ARE confusing/huge-hardly to learn!!! - we are all in need of a stiky topic with all explanation for all versions!!!! - PLEEEASE!!!)Thanks !---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------to zhong881209:don't you mean options "1" and "2" ???? (this can be misunderstanding, but "2" and "3"... - read again..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhong881209 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 so, can any mods or anyone can explain the bt.transp_disposition more clearly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 look in the 1.8.3 thread, though there is a bit of a new scheme there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 1.8.2's scheme is being discarded. Go read the 1.9 announcement for details on how it works now. 1.8.3 has the same settings as 1.9.It IS possible to disable incoming uTP, but only in 1.8.3/1.9.

rafi Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 [off]I must say that up until now - I'm not sure I understand the exact meaning of those 4 settings. So if someone can explain (here/there) how does each effect uT behavior - it will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichpuchtli Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 an 15-watt lamp is lighthning the tunnel now...Thanks for the effort.as I said, many still can't figure out how to properly set theirs FW's and routers to play well with both private OR/and public trackers, and everybody loses (mostly who is leeching and who depends on seeding, but also who is developing due to false statistics).

Switeck Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Many firewalls and routers don't implement Windows UPnP correctly...so are as much (or MORE) to blame than "clueless users". Even when a firewall is "disabled", they often fail to pass traffic as they should...further compounding this problem! Not everyone even expects their antivirus software to contain a software firewall either...so many overlook it when they have firewall issues in uTorrent.

Ichpuchtli Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 OK, and there's much more than this. For an example:Those who use private trackers only MAY have DHT and PEX disabled (as asked by those trackers). This way, with OLD versions prior to 1.8 (correct?), UTP wasn't needed, and those ppl MAY have UDP blocked in FW/Router.Now, even with DHT and PEX disabled you may have UDP (uTP) connections in all new stable versions, even on torrents from private trackers. THIS new behavior is ONE source of misunderstanding for many (not for me). I think trackers will be updating their recommendations as soon as they realize this.

DreadWingKnight Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Or go into knee-jerk overparanoid ban-crazy mode like they usually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 uTP is unrelated to DHT, so it really has no bearing on recommendations related to PEX and DHT.Besides, no one's crazy enough to block all UDP, considering DNS uses it, among other things.uTP will offer one advantage in the near future though. It will allow for STUN (using other peers on the same torrent as the "helper" server to establish the connection, but not as relays), so many more people will effectively be unfirewalled for torrents. This benefits everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivaldin Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 My router doesn't supPort many connections of UDP... if I enable uTP, my router stay idle for some seconds and kill the UDP connections... I have to disable uTP on uTorrent to my connection works fine How this options is enabled by default in the new versions, many users who has a router who doesn't support it, will have problem...my router is the TP-Link WR642G (Brasil), Any comments?
