Ideas for the MTT

Postby jblu on Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:23 pm

Because of getting a little ticked-off, by what happened to me lately with Danum's torrent. I decided to look around a bit, and found this.
http://oneswarm.cs.washington.edu/

We could start a swarm, early, before it's public. Only the members would be in this swarm --superseeding or not can be discussed. When the torrent goes public, we would already have our own small swarm created. This might stop these early hit and run folks, who can disrupt and slow the start of torrents. I was really out-gunned against their bandwidth the other day. I'm just throwing this out for discussion. Any other ideas?
Azureus ( now Vuze, I believe) also has a lot more abilities than most other client/servers, if you have the "horsepower" to run it. There are certainly other ways of protecting ourselves, and saving all of us bandwidth. There is even a plugin called Stuffer available for Azureus, and uTorrent, I believe, where you can selectively block addresses.

Again, just some thoughts, and all discussion welcome!

Of all the Linux, BSD and others I've tried, I had never tried Sabayon, so I though I'd grab it by bittorrent from Linux Tracker. This morning I noticed someone joining the swarm using One Swarm, which I mentioned above. I have not tried One Swarm, myself -- yet.
