Re: university wifi with filter

Frank, Please go complain to the administration about not getting proper Internet access. I'm serious, John. If your student halls are supposed to provide you with Internet access, and you're only getting access to a web proxy, then the CROUS are ripping you off (it's fairly common). Take a dozen fr...

µTP enabled by default

µTP is now enabled by default in both the Mac OS X and the generic Unix/Linux binaries. So grab a nightly, and enjoy!

As before, please report any issues on https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/2338 .

Re: Seeds not seeding

Hitman, Your troubles are most probably due to a number of well-known trackers having switched to a non-standard protocol (the so-called "UDP tracker protocol") and disabled the standard protocol. If you're seeding public torrents (check in the torrents' information panes), then don't worr...

Re: ANNOUNCE: Preliminary µTP support for Transmission

the first couple torrents went very smooth, but is there anything special we should be looking for? Except for the upload bandwidth regulator, I consider this code to be production-quality, at least on Linux. So please report anything that looks like a bug. and shouldn't both the build and run opti...

Update: µTP support in the Transmission trunk

The µTP code has now been merged into the transmission trunk. There is no longer any need to grab it from a third-party repository. Linux/BSD Unix The Linux/Unix version is not currently being built with µTP support by default, you'll need to build it yourself. Grab the SVN sources as usual, then do...

ANNOUNCE: Preliminary µTP support for Transmission

As some of you may have noticed, Jordan and I have recently been working on µTP support for Transmission. This work is being sponsored by BitTorrent, Inc. We are very grateful for this opportunity to do some low-level hacking on Transmission, something we both enjoy. 0. Getting the code tl;dr — give...

Re: New torrents on old Tiger Mac

Jowie is probably using a torrent that points at a dead tracker (rhymes with hay), or one that outlaws UDP. Modern versions of Transmission will work around the issue using the DHT, older versions won't.

Jowie, I don't want to sound like a zealot, but a G4 makes a very nice Linux machine.

Re: Unwanted IPv6 Peer

Oh my... so many misunderstandings in a single message. Free.fr is the consumer branch of Proxad, one of the larger French ISPs. Enabling native IPv6 on a Free.fr ADSL line is a simple matter of clicking the right box in the router's configuration interface. (Actually, it's not native, but 6rd, but ...

Re: Use mmap instead of userspace buffers

This is exactly what we do in Hekate . It simplifies the code quite a bit. Here's a screenshot of Hekate running on a 32 MB machine — ps thinks Hekate is using 4300% of available RAM. Now mmapping the files rather than reading them in has a number of consequences. One is that the memory is populated...
