Re: [OOL] Bit Torrent analysis via Glasnost...
Wouldn't it be trivial to compile a list of Glasnost servers and allow unthrottled connections to them? The few people who ran the test would think everything is OK, but it's really just a whitelist of the "throttle test" hosts.
Now, I had good nonboost speeds (about max line- 1.8MB/PS)
While I had issues, I had 300KBPS drop to 50 KBPS. It hovered between 50KBPS and 200KBPS (max, not sustainable).
A few days later, I was on the same torrents with different peers. No issues, back to 1.8MBPS(BTW, I DID test multiple trackers and torrents).
Note: I know the difference between megabits/megabytes and kilobits/kilobytes. The above are megabytes per second and kilobytes per second- if you want to be a pedant, the above speeds are mebibytes per second and kibibytes per second
EDIT: I can has bad grammar. Typos corrected. |

do you think CV would spend resources to hunt those servers and whitelist them just to hide that they are fucking with our torrents?
seems a bit too 'conspiracy-y' |

| That was exactly what I was thinking. Plus, they're offering instructions and source on setting up your own Glasnost servers. I'm sure the kinks in the code will be worked out, but I know at least a half dozen people who are seriously considering setting up their colocated machines witha Glasnost server.
I wonder how much bandwidth one uses per test. Time to examine the code carefully 
I personally consider MxxCon an authoritative source on BitTorrent tech and politics. But, that's me. Which is why I was curious for him to chime in
