This will do for Bit Torrent what QuickMX has done for
the WinMX network: ruin it for other users.
It deserves to be blacklisted.

I don't think you understand what it does. It seems that it prefers to communicate with peers that are uploading faster to you which in turn makes the downloads faster. It will not send as much data to the slower peers so they are encouraged to upload faster.
I'm not sure how azereus chooses peers right now so I can't compare it to that. I tried the software for one torrent and I didn't notice that it was extremely fast or anything. I got 200+ KB/sec though which was pretty good for a torrent with a fairly small amount of seeders. |

1 edit | It's interesting. But why are many people assuming that it's bad for the swarm?
Does it just give priority to faster peers or does it actually ignore slow peers completely and waste upload bandwidth waiting for faster peers? |

said by peter_m:It's interesting. But why are many people assuming that it's bad for the swarm? Because it's being reported that way and they don't know enough, or are too lazy to actually look into it.
said by peter_m:Does it just give priority to faster peers or does it actually ignore slow peers completely and waste upload bandwidth waiting for faster peers? It gives priority to faster peers, as does every other Bittorrent client, and it doesn't in it's current implementation snub slow clients if there is extra capacity.
