Re: Free Press lives in some fantasy world said by dadkins:For kicks, I downloaded something via VUZE(Azureus BT client). I was pulling ~2MB/sec(MegaBytes/second)... yeah I'm on Comcast! *MY* Comcast connection seems to work ok.  It was my understanding that downloads were working fine, it was the uploads they were jacking with. And since most BT trackers atleast TRY to force you to maintain a 1:1 ratio, not being able to upload eventually cuts you off from the downloads. (not to mention forcing people to be a leech)

1 edit | People talk about this, but I haven't seen it in a while.
Note my upload speed pictured on DUMeter, 430 - 490kbps.
For that particular download, I'm doing ok.
A few days ago, for a different download on VUZE, my upload was 1.2mbps - for quite some time! Even after the download was finished.
As I said, *MY* connection seems to be doing ok.

Trackers cannot force you to maintain a 1:1 ratio. They have no control over what your client actually does short of denying you new contacts. With newer clients all the tracker really does is get you up and running quickly.
For instance, using Azureus with Azureus distributed database /decentralized tracker, peer exchange, and the Mainline Distributed Hash Table plugin, all I need is a torrent file or magnet link and if the swarm is of any size at all, within an hour I'm up and running even if the tracker is completely dead. And you say set the private torrent bit? All that will do is bring forth a client that lies to the tracker and ignores the private bit.
Either way it is in the swarms best interest that it continue to upload to a peer that is uploading at a very slow rate than to totally cut off such an individual.
