Re: Why Is OOL Selectively Blocking Bit Torrent Pa

with the help of another guy i ran network sniffer to see what's going on and it seems like OOL is sending spoofed packets to me(seed) and to destination(leech) with tcp RST switch.
and they do instantly after i transmit how many pieces i have(all).
if at least 1 piece is missing, everything works fine.

In my experience, the disconnects after sending the BitField happened even when some pieces where (reported to be) missing. That's why I added the option to adjust the Max number if consecutive bits that could be set in the BitField.

Anyway, I plan to look into this some more, and will post back here if I find anything interesting or useful.

Ya. An error 10053 is "Connection is aborted due to timeout or other failure." Looks like OOL's doing something similar with the EMule as they are to BT. They're also doing something to block WinMX connections too, I think.

Maybe it's time for me to re-consider my hatred for Verizon and go crawling back to them when Fiber gets implemented
