If I take the same torrent from the same tracker and start it up with Ktorrent under kubuntu 8.04, I get an order of magnitude greater speed in the download. Looking at the peer/seeder list, the same ones in Ktorrent allow downloads while the same ones in transmission do not. I understand what you are saying about the request/denial protocol, but just wanted to figure out why the two different behaviors that show up in this test. I finally abandoned Transmission for Ktorrent due to the time savings that I get by restarting the download on a different machine. Thanks for your response and time. ciao dude, chuck -- transmission marks utorrent peers as non-downloadable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
