  • Deprioritize BitTorrent traffic

    - by Steven Xu
    I'm sure the question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it for myself; my Google-fu eludes me. My router, the Linksys E2000, does a decent job at being reasonable about prioritizing some sorts of traffic above BitTorrent traffic (there isn't too much interruption to port 80, 443, or 22 traffic, the ones I use most often). But other ports get pummeled. For instance, 3000 (which I use for local Rails testing) becomes almost entirely non-functioning. Xbox Live traffic (not sure about the ports, but they are in the 1000 range) doesn't do well either. So I'm wondering how to ensure that XBL and local Rails testing maintain strong service while BitTorrent is going. Is it enough that I turn up the QoS on their associated ports to high? It doesn't seem to be as effective as when BitTorrent isn't running at all (I don't know if there's a way to deprioritize BitTorrent traffic).

  • How does Bittorrent work?

    - by mumtaz
    I want to learn more about the bittorrent way of file sharing. I am a technically advanced user (programmer), so technically advanced material is no problem, but it should be concise and to the point. I need a good resource book/web which explains the overall bittorrent architecture. I am not interested in details, just the overall architecture and the terminology like seeds, peers, etc. Any suggestions?

  • BitTorrent Myth

    - by Moon .
    In BitTorent Statistics there is a field "Total Ratio" that is the ratio between total downloads and uploads. i have heard that this ratio affects BitTorrent'ss performance. If the ratio is better then BitTorrent Network provides you services on priority. And If the ratio is down (less uploads) then the BitTorrent provides you services on average or below average priorities. Is there something like that.....

  • What's the difference between the BitTorrent clients named "BitTorrent" and "µTorrent"?

    - by Eric
    A similar question was asked but never really addressed the question, I think in part because of terminology confusion. So to be very clear: what's the difference between the two BitTorrent client, one named "BitTorrent" and the one named "µTorrent"? They look to have identical UIs, right down to the same checkboxes in the prefs dialogs. Why are there two programs with different names that appear to be identical? Is one superior to the other? (Are they different in any way?) Thanks.

  • The canonical "blocking BitTorrent" question

    - by Aphex5
    How can one block, or severely slow down, BitTorrent and similar peer-to-peer (P2P) services on one's small home/office network? In searching Server Fault I wasn't able to find a question that served as a rallying point for the best technical ideas on this. The existing questions are all about specific situations, and the dominant answers are social/legal in nature. Those are valid approaches, but a purely technical discussion would be useful to a lot of people, I suspect. Let's assume that you don't have access to the machines on the network. With encryption use increasing in P2P traffic, it seems like stateful packet inspection is becoming a less workable solution. One idea that seems to make sense to me is simply throttling down heavy users by IP, regardless of what they're sending or receiving -- but it doesn't seem many routers support that functionality at the moment. What's your preferred method to throttle P2P/BitTorrent traffic? My apologies if this is a dupe.

  • Seeing 10.x.x.x addresses in my BitTorrent client

    - by Legend
    Off late, I am seeing a number of IP addresses starting with 10.x.x.x in my bittorrent peer list. Aren't these IP addresses supposed to be private ones? I don't understand how I am able to see the IP address instead of the WAN (external IP) of the client... Any one knows why?

  • Bittorrent surveillance/monitoring

    - by Flamewires
    Is there any tool to sniff bittorrent traffic and reassemble data about the torrent? Im looking for file names, peers, tracker address, local IP, etc. This is purely for academic interest in which all parties would be willing participants and therefore please dont upvote responses that talk merely about legal issues with using this kind of approach on a production network. I also am assuming that the torrent connections are unencrypted. Thanks

  • How can I disrupt my roommate's BitTorrent?

    - by bob
    We're on a 50 mb/s Comcast connection and our connection right now is coming in under 1.5 mb/s. Our roommate left for a week with BitTorrent running (Azureus client, we think). Our latency is approaching 300 ms. His door is locked up tight, and both his machine and the router for the house are located inside. I've even flipped the power breaker in the house and that barely works for 2 minutes. His laptop keeps on running, and once the cable modem and router come back up and the machine reconnects, the torrents resume in earnest. I've been running nmap and identified his IP on our LAN. Is there anything I can do over the LAN to make his torrents start to fail or slow down?

  • Is it possible to use bittorrent for a fileserver

    - by sris
    I would like to set up a file server that is searchable, preferable via the web. I'm wondering if it would be possible to achieve this using the bittorrent protocol and have a single client sharing every single torrent on the server. I guess I could use some available tracker solution for the webinterface or write one myself. My concerns are the if there are any limits to the number of torrents a single client can share since this may potentially be 10k torrents. The number of downloading clients is very small, only myself and my relatives. The idea is to have a single place to host everything from vacation photos to musical creations. Is there any other options for this kind of file server. It should also be easy to upload files to the server.

  • Scriptable BitTorrent clients?

    - by James McMahon
    In an effort further automate all the little computer house keeping tasks that can waste my time I am looking into BitTorrent clients that have the ability to script common tasks. I've done some Googling and it looks like Transmission might have some of said such capabilities, but there site wasn't very clear on the details. Things I am looking to do; Prioritize and label torrents based on trackers Set seed length based on trackers and filesize Set additional seed time when a torrent's seed time expires based on a number of factors, like time spent seeding, remaining disk space and ratio. Move torrents to appropriate places post seeding based on labels and tracker Basically, while I could Python or Bash script things like moving torrents around and other simple actions, I need away to talk to the client to figure out things like the torrent seed time, tracker, labels, filesize, etc. Is there any client out there that would allow me to all or a subset these actions? I have access to Linux, Mac and Windows and am not tied to any particular torrent client. I am a programmer so I have no problems writing scripts, but examples of torrent scripting would also be helpful.

  • Few questions on bittorrent

    - by user23950
    Details Torrent Client: Bit lord Is it possible to continue torrent downloads on other computer? I'm at about 38% of the 8Gb file that I'm downloading. And then my isp suddenly dropped my speed from 90-100kbps into 40-48kbps(Maybe because I'm really producing lots of traffic with the 8 hrs/day downloading) If its possible what do I need to do in order for the downloads to be continued on other computer

  • Did bittorrent sync take advantage of multiple peers

    - by NachoChip
    I am currently testing BT sync, and really like it. However, I cannot find much of the technical detail regarding to how it works. I wonder did anyone know that is the program take advantage of multiple peers connection? For example, if I have a File A(FA), which exist in Computer 1 (C1) and Computer 2 (C2). If I set up a sync from C1 and C2 to a folder in Computer 3 (C3), will I get a better sync up time because I can get FA from 2 sources at the same time (of course, assume I have enough downstream)?

  • Annoying behavior from BitTorrent

    - by Click Upvote
    I'm trying to download a file via bittorent and experiencing a very annoying issue. Everytime I start downloading, the download rate varies between 40-50KB and stays at that for roughly a minute, before it starts to go down until it eventually gets as low as 2-3KB. If I exit and restart Bittorent it starts from 40-50KB again. What on earth is the reason for this? It seems like a pattern rather than the random fluctuation of seeds/peers leaving.

  • building bittorrent client from scratch

    - by Bill
    I'm new to programming. I find reading introductory programming books boring. I think these doesn't teach enough of the problem solving skills that I need. So I decided to build a bitTorrent client. I think I understand to some point how the protocol works. I have also downloaded the source code of deluge bittorrent client. I have access to python documentation too. I need to know if there are some resources available that can help me build a bitTorrent client that are more detailed than the wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent

  • What's the best Bittorrent client for 12.10 excluding utorrent?

    - by Brenton Horne
    The reason why I've excluded utorrent is because utorrent server doesn't appear to work for me with the details of such difficulties available in the question How do I install uTorrent?. Running through wine is an annoying solution to the problem as whenever I run it that way I have to manually relocate torrent-ed files as they are undiscoverable in the location utorrent saves it by default. I'd appreciate a decently-sized compare and contrast answer.

  • Bruxelles finance un client BitTorrent décentralisé dans le cadre d'une recherche sur l'amélioration des réseaux informatiques

    La Communauté Européenne finance un client BitTorrent entièrement décentralisé Dans le cadre d'une recherche sur l'amélioration des réseaux informatiques Il est déjà difficile d'expliquer au grand public la différence entre hacker et pirate. On souhaite donc beaucoup de patience et de courage au Professeur responsable du projet Tribler pour expliquer la différence entre BitTorrent et piratage. Il s'agit pourtant d'un projet intéressant à plus d'un titre. Technologiquement, Tribler est un client BitTorrent entièrement décentralisé. Autrement dit, un logiciel qui permet d'échanger des contenus de machine à machine, en gré à gré (ou ...

  • Obtaining IP addresses in Bittorrent

    - by Legend
    I am trying to get a list of IP addresses serving or downloading a file. What I did was to contact a tracker like openbittorrent.com to get the following (as part of the scrape file): B%00%00%0C%5F%B1%B1l%CAGa%84S%CB%B0%9BG%84%3BE:0:1 Now, the long string in the beginning is the info hash. As a next step, I did this: http://tracker.sometracker.com/announce?info_hash=B%00%00%0C%5F%B1%B1l%CAGa%84S%CB%B0%9BG%84%3BE It gave me back the following. So far so good. The message contained this: d8:completei0e10:downloadedi0e10:incompletei2e8:intervali1931e12:min intervali965e5:peers12:U????????^@^@e Can someone tell me what should I be doing after this to get the IP addresses currently serving the file or downloading it?

  • Import problem with PyCrypto in Jython

    - by Arg
    Hello, I am currently trying to get python bittorrent tracker running inside of jython and i encountered this problem: the tracker uses PyCrypto library which i compiled for my platform and added into the python path. When i try to run code, however, i get following error: Exception in thread "MainThread" Traceback (most recent call last): File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/bittorrent-tracker.py", line 21, in <module> from BitTorrent.track import track File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/track.py", line 50, in <module> from BitTorrent.UI import Size File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/UI.py", line 37, in <module> from BitTorrent.MultiTorrent import UnknownInfohash, TorrentAlreadyInQueue, TorrentAlreadyRunning, TorrentNotRunning File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/MultiTorrent.py", line 25, in <module> from BitTorrent.Torrent import Feedback, Torrent File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/Torrent.py", line 32, in <module> from BitTorrent.ConnectionManager import ConnectionManager File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/ConnectionManager.py", line 22, in <module> from BitTorrent.Connector import Connector File "./python_dep/BitTorrent-5.2.2/BitTorrent/Connector.py", line 27, in <module> from Crypto.Cipher import ARC4 ImportError: cannot import name ARC4 Java Result: 1 I am pretty sure that the library is in the python path, because command import Crypto.Cipher works, while from Crypto.Cipher import ARC4 does not.

  • What is the best BitTorrent client for Mac OS X?

    - by deddebme
    I am using uTorrent in Mac OS X but I wasn't happy about it at all. It is much worse than its Windows version and it hasn't been updated for quite a while. I tried Azureus but its interface isn't good, probably because it is Java based. Any recommendation on which BitTorrent client to use in Mac OS X?

  • How do private BitTorrent trackers monitor how much users upload/download?

    - by Jon-Eric
    From Wikipedia: Most private trackers monitor how much users upload or download, and in most situations, enforce a minimum upload-to-download ratio. How exactly can a tracker figure out how much data was uploaded and downloaded by each user? My understanding is that a BitTorrent tracker is merely a registry of users that are currently downloading/seeding and that peers, once connected, transfer data directly. So I wouldn't think that the tracker would know anything about the amount of data transferred, much less, where it came from.

  • Is there a BitTorrent client that can download files "in sequence"?

    - by Bob M
    Is there a BitTorrent client that can download files "in sequence"? For example, download clip 01.avi (high priority) clip 02.avi (normal priority) clip 03.avi (low priority) clip 04.avi (low) clip 05.avi (low) then when clip 01.avi is done, it will automatically make it: clip 01.avi (high priority) clip 02.avi (high priority) clip 03.avi (normal priority) clip 04.avi (low priority) clip 05.avi (low) this can be useful when download *.rar as well, since download clip.rar, and then clip.r00, r01, r02, in sequence can allow previewing the file by using RAR to recompose the file (even though incomplete file, but will allow previewing). Update: will making all files active still considered a bad use of BT?
