| Leech Clients not welcome I will be finding a way to automate the banning of all BitTyrant clients in my swarms, I already banned 2 of them that were leeching without uploading anything to me. |

London, ON | It's not a leech client, read it. If you manage a tracker you should understand the BT protocol and from what I can tell this doesn't leech any more than any other client does. |

You ban clients that don't upload to you? It's the way BT works, you can't always expect a peer regardless of their client to upload to you even if you are uploading to them. This client appears to more strongly reward uploading in a swarm. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.
This doesn't look like a leech client, not even close. Read »www.cs.washington.edu/homes/piat···rant.pdf for more information on how the client works and why it is as it is. |

and Oink have banned it.

No but it rewards those with faster uploads, therefore affecting the neutrality of the system, in return those that download it faster will most likely not remain to share their download with those with slower uploads thus impacting the speed of the swarm. Now if the ratio was tracked by trackers over a period of time rather then the most common individual torrent basis that would be acceptable, but that bring other cons to BT to it. |
