Re: hrm

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?

Because it's being reported that way and they don't know enough, or are too lazy to actually look into it.

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.
